My memories of Tyson are mostly from wrestling. When I was a freshman he was, I believe, the only senior on the team. He was a great competitor and a true humble champion. He was such a hard worker, and as great of a wrestler as he was, he was a better role model. He will always be remembered, and my heart goes out to his family and loved ones.

What a fitting tribute to Tyson today. The memories of love,laughter, and kindness that he shared with everyone who knew him. To Diane and Myron, I did not want to stop by and intrude on family time, but want you to know that I love and admire you both. I pray that comfort will come, and you can rejoice in the memory of such a wonderful young man. I pray that Lindsay will find the comfort she will so desperately need, that her life might be blessed in every way possible. Tyson is a wonderful example for all of us, may the memory of his smile burn bright until the eternities. May Gods love comfort and peace, be with you all.

Diane and Myron,
We will always remember Justin and Tyson coming by in your car at Christmastime with a plateful of goodies, their shy sweet manner. We shared so many good times in your home as they grew, the dinners, the wrestling. We are deeply sorry for this tragedy, but deeply grateful for the strength you will surely have through Myron and Justin and Lindsay and the rest of your family. We pray you will be blessed with peace. Sincerely and with our love, Bill and Hanna Vermaas

Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family. We have great memories of Tyson on the mat. What a true champion he was. Always polite, composed and kind but a fierce competitor when he wrestled. We pray for God's blessings and mercy as you heal.

We seem to lose way too many of the best young people, but I guess that maybe God liked having him around, also. You will see him again and my prayers to his wife and the grief that she must feel.

Tyson is such an awesome guy. He was always very polite and never said a bad thing about anyone. Even when he was younger and I would tease him and Jacob, he was always so nice :) I will always remember wrestling trips with him and his smile. He is very loved and will be missed.
