I went to visit you last week and I was so happy to see a little Christmas tree at your gravestone.
I went to visit you to tell you that I'm engaged and that life is good. I know that if you met the person I grew up to be that you'd be proud of who I've become.
Love always, your little sister.

How often you're thought of. How often you're talked about. Your walk, your laugh :) I've told your story about "the moment with the octopus" so many times, I've gotten friends to stop eating calamari!!! If anyone has that pic, can you post it please? I visit you sometimes after work. I sat & cried so hard the first time I saw your photo. But when I leave, I have to smile.... because that's what you always made me do. You're in my heart forever!!

Missing you. Thoughts of you, your family and friends on this special day...and always.
Deborah Detrio
October 28, 2005
It has been hard to sign this guest book for I have not known how to say the things I want. "Closure" is putting it lightly-- what I want to say to you... I don't think I'll ever have closure as I only have to "accept" but I will never "UNDERSTAND".
I think about you almost everyday. When I need strength, I think of you. When I need motivation, I think of you. When people laugh, I sometimes think of your distinctive laugh. When I'm alone or driving at times, I talk to you for comfort. I haven't erased your number and still call your voicemail sometimes just to hear your voice. I miss you more than words can ever describe.
You had this amazing, one of a kind energy that noone will ever replace. Then again, noone is ever supposed to. When I was with you, I felt motivated to "LIVE life." I felt energetic, creative, loved, alive, safe, secure, and PROUD to walk by your side. You were, and always will be, the perfect man. It's still so hard to believe you're gone. Strange though that we had a mutual agreement/understanding about where you go when you die. I remember exactly where we were --driving over the Ingraham bridge--and I told you that ENERGY NEVER DIES, AND THAT OUR SOUL IS ENERGY THEREFORE WE WILL NEVER DIE. THAT THIS UNIVERSE IS INFINITE AND YOUR SOUL IS ALIVE SO WE HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE!! I believe in my heart that your soul IS alive and free. I just miss that earth suit.
I talk about you so much, even though I only knew you for the short time that I did. The impact you've made on my life will always live on through me as well as others I'm sure. I think of your family and close friends and sometimes feel selfish about how much I grieve your loss. I will always miss you Tylo Taylor, and come my day, I know our souls will meet again...
I will never forget his words of wisdom nor his love of living life to its fullest. I can only feel privileged to have shared his friendship and to have known such a dynamic individual.

The things I do alone, I used to do with him, things that meant nothing to anyone else, but were somehow special to us. And there you have it, we were us. And let only a select few in, we had an exclusive relationship, one so amazing, that people longed to participate in it. He tested everyone, made them jump through hoops, and if they proved to be loyal, courageous, intellectually stimulating, and loved me, then they could look at a close distance into our world, and even on a small level be included. There were only a few that were allowed to participate, the next thing you know, those people were in a relationship with us too, that's how my beloved group of friends came to be. Friends I find it painful to look at, only because I can only see him in them. I only want to talk to them about him, and yet I find on a sub-conscious level, I might be avoiding them, because when I look at them, all I see is him. I could not in my wildest dreams imagine not being able to finish a story about him, you see, he was always by my side to finish it for me, lately there are things I can not remember. I can't quite pin point the way he smelled, but I have yet to forget his laugh. I don't think my future children will believe he was a real person, they will think I made him up like Peter Pan fairy tale. The Stories don't even seem real to me anymore, they seem like so long ago, they could have actually been a dream. No one will believe we had tea parties to discuss quantum physics and OBE's, or morning coffee to debate politics, or converted Mormons on my porch before 9am. He used to tell Jeff, "Your a good boyfriend to us," because everything in each others lives effected the other so greatly that we almost thought of each other as one. The days that I was wrong, and I desperately needed to be right, he turned the world up-side down so I could be, the days when I needed to be told to get it together, he would pull it together so I wouldn't have to hear it. And the last day I saw him, I was so stressed out I didn't hug him long enough before he left my house, and he said "We'll go get a mani and pedi on Tuesday, then you'll feel better, if you need anything call me, coffee tomorrow morning? Ok, call me when you get off work tonight! Love you!" I wish I could have just been late for work that night and hugged him for a little while longer. So now the things that I used to do with him I do alone, and it's ok, I am just scared I am forgetting what it was like to do nothing with him.

My deepest sympathy to Tylo's family and friends. Tylo was one of my best friends and I love him dearly. I was out of town working for the last three months and I just found out today after numerous times that I couldn't reach him. I love Tylo and I am deeply hurt. He was an amazing true friend and so generous and loving!!!!! Blessings to his family and all who knew him.Tylo was so kind he hired me to help paint his house and pull away plaster when unemployment didn't send me a check for three months and I couldn't find any work, just so I could pay my bills. He was wise and big hearted and I will miss him so much.

Tylo, my love you will always be so close to my heart. Some days I can hardly breath knowing I will never have our long chats of love and life. I am so proud of the wonderful loving man you were. You were my baby with always a smile and added life and laugher to everything and everyone you encountered as a child. As an Adult you didn't change much still knowing how to be a child with great humanity over even the smallest matters. I know how you loved and cared for each of your friends. I am so sorry that we all will have an empty part of life without you. We also have a very fullness of our lives just knowing the man you were. I as your Mother was always so elated that you chose me as the "Mama" Thank you Thank you so much for growing inside of me and changing my life bringing out the best in myself. You were not only my baby but, my best friend. I always said my greatest accomplishment was giving birth to such a special person.
Thank you, God for giving him to me if only for a blink of a eye . I know we have talked about these are only Earth Suits. I will miss the Earth Suit you wore so handsomely. I feel you around me protecting.
Love,
Mama

It's taken me two weeks to do this so bare with me. Tylo was the most amazing man that was ever brought into my life. Every day knowing him made it better. Every time seeing him made it that much more wonderful. He was and always will remain, my love. I am only lucky enough to have had him in my life these many years. He makes me want to be a better person. I have so much to say that never got said, but I know he hears all of us.
"These wounds wont seem to heal, this pain is just too real. There's just too much that time cannot erase. When I cried, you'd wipe away all of my tears. When I'd scream you'd fight away all of my fears. And YOU'VE HELD MY HAND through all of these years, and you still have all of me." My darling Tylo, I love you. We will all be together again one day. My prayers are with all of us who lost an unbelievable man.

Tylo-
Your passing has left a hole in my heart that will never be filled. I will miss your soft hair, comforting hugs, and awe-inspiring generosity to all people. Tylo, you were part of very small group of people in the world that glow; that give off so much energy and light. I came across this poem that was written about soldiers, but was fitting for you, who were apart of your own special group of honored individuals.
The Dead
These hearts were woven of human joys and cares, washed marvellously with sorrow, swift to mirth.
The years had given them kindness. Dawn was theirs, and at sunset, and the colours of the earth.
These had seen movement, and heard music; known slumber and waking; loved; gone proudly friended; felt the quick sit of wonder; sat alone; touched flowers and furs and cheeks. All this is ended.
There are waters blown by changing winds to laughter and lit by the rich skies, all day. And after, frost, with a gesture, stays the waves that dance and wandering loveliness. He leaves a white unbroken glory, a gathered radiance, a width, a shining peace, under the night.
--Rupert Brooke

I remember the first time we met Tylo he climbed up in our attic by his own volition to try and fix our leaking air conditioner. He also begged us to let him petsit our dog while we were out of town. What a generous, loving, incredible person -- the type that you feel instantly comfortable with and accepted by. I am so blessed to have known him; his vitality and kind-heartedness will never be forgotten.

Tylo Taylor was my best friend, he was my brother, he was my knight in shining armor. He was a true "cowboy." There was nothing he wouldn't do for me, or didn't do for me. He was a part of my family, he was part of my heart and my soul. My life will never be the same now that he has left me, but I thank God I ever had him. My worst nightmare is upon me, having to try to keep on living without him by my side.
I know he is my guardian Angel, that's what he was here on earth, I will always be safe knowing he is watching over me. Tylo, we will all stay close and keep this family together, I know you would want us to take care of eachother. You touched the lives of so many people, and you loved so greatly and had such a passion for life and the people you loved. You will never be forgotton, I will make sure your dreams are lived out one way or another. I Love you with all my heart, you are my soul mate.
"In the end, all you are is a good story." (Tylos favorite quote)
You were more than that Tylo. All my love sympathies and prayers to everyone whos life he touched, Katherine Becker

Proverb 6:20-22
My son, keep your father's command, and do not forsake the law of your mother. Bind them continually upon your heart; tie them around your neck. When you roam, they will lead you when you sleep, they will keep you; and when you awake, they will speak with you.
Tylo,
May God hold you in his everlasting arms, blessing you forever with the angelic love and forbearance that your eternal and beautiful spirit deserves. We will one day all rejoice in heaven and on that day enjoy the unity of family once again. Watch over us until then.
Love,
Linda Sunstein
