Dear Coffey Family,
Words cannot express how deeply saddened our family is about the loss of your beloved son and brother, Tyler.
Our son, Conor O'Neil, befriended Tyler freshman year at THS and their friendship continued through at KSC. Conor had the priveledge of spending the month of June with Tyler in Keene and was honored to have been one of his pall bearers. He truly loved Tyler and is grieving his loss. He does take comfort in knowing that Tyler is in a better place and he will continue to carry their friendship in his mind and heart for the rest of his life.
Our family enjoyed getting to know Tyler these past few years. He was a great kid and the best kind of friend any parent would want for their child.
We also will hold Tyler in our hearts and in our prayers and are very grateful to have known him.
Sincerely,
Anne and Jim Farley

My thoughts and deepest sympathies are with you during this tragic time. Tyler had a great, compassionate family from what I have heard from my mother Nancy. Laurie was there for my family when my aunt nancy passed this year, and I wanted you to know, that even though we may not know eachother well, you are all in my heart.
Again, my deepest sympathies.
