I remember playing video games in 8th grade with Tyler. We had a lot in common. It was fun spending time with him because he laughed at my jokes. He was a fun kid to hang out with. He was a special friend to me. I am truly sorry about your loss. We will never forget Tyler. Words cannot describe what I am feeling. I lost a great friend, but the universe received a new beautiful star. I will be thinking of Tyler in this moment forward.

No parent should have to suffer this kind of loss... This is where faith is truly put to the test. Learning how to cope and eventually smile thru the tears knowing we will see our loved ones again. This Groveland family is truly heartbroken for your family. God speed!

My prayers for the family!!! I am a fellow MHS Student, don't know if I met him or not, but it is just too sad to hear about the loss of a MHS Student. At least he is in a way better place than earth, with all this chaos going on nowadays. In heaven there won't be any chaos, just peace with God.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this very difficult time. I have many fond memories of Tyler and his years at the junior high. He always had a big smile on his face. In return, he made me laugh and smile every day he was in my classroom. He will be missed by all who knew him.
