Stephen "Tyler" Holloway, a loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, uncle and friend, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, February 2, 2022 at the age of 27. He was born in Lafayette on March 28, 1994 and he was a resident of Port Allen for most of his life and received a GED after attending Port Allen High School. Tyler courageously battled Multiple Sclerosis for many years, but his disease did not define him. He was a caring soul who was loved by many. Any time spent with Tyler was guaranteed to be a good time and he always had a story to tell and could make anyone laugh. He loved fiercely and unapologetically and his presence on Earth was far too short. Tyler is survived by his mother, Dana Findlay; stepfather, David Findlay; maternal grandmother, Alice Lyons; sisters, Stephanie Holloway, Paige Mayeux, and Lisa Goebel Colon; stepsisters, Mary Findlay and Jessica Olis; stepbrother, David Findlay, Jr.; nieces, Ariyanna Bickham, Charleigh Burton, and Fae Findlay Escoreno; nephews, Christopher Johnson, Damien Kim, Darren, Devon, and Dylan Yokeley, Cyad and Kain Heckman, and Judah and Levi Colon; aunt, Donna Wheeler Tabor; cousin, Ronald Wheeler and wife Rachelle; along with numerous other aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Preceded in death by his father, Stephen Goebel; maternal grandfather, Gene Lyons; paternal grandmother, Marion Goebel; and stepsister, Lalani Yokeley. A memorial visitation will be held at Wilbert Funeral Home, Port Allen on Friday, February 11, 2022 from 10 am until religious services at 2 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to help with funeral cost. Please share memories online at www.wilbertservices.com.

Today makes 2 years, 2 hard years. I remember everything so vividly, but more often I just think of you, funny things you would say or do, your smile and laughter, tears and talks we had, even the times we argued or in a nicer way didn´t see eye to eye but how could we, when you were taller than me. The pain never goes away, the missing you never ends nor does my love. The days are more doable, but only because I have to force away thoughts or not speak what´s on my mind or in my heart, hide the tears so nobody sees how broken I am. You were my baby boy, my son and I know as hard and strong as you were you loved me as I you. I´ve learned a lot about myself, loss, my life as your mom. I can´t thank God enough for giving me the opportunity to be your mom and you my son. He loaned you to me for a little while, it wasn´t long enough. You were supposed to out live me, but I´m grateful that I had the time I did. I cherish every single moment of time. It´s hard to think of the hard hand that was dealt to you, I´m not supposed to question Gods purpose. It´s started the moment you were born, it´s funny how we don´t know the signs along the way. Just like the post I shared 2 years ago on February 1st. Like the way you told me loved me in the days prior. The tone in which you spoke it. For years even before you were diagnosed with MS you would tell us you didn´t think you were going to live past 25, it´s like there was warning signs and we were just blind to it, naive to it. I would give up my life for you. I know this is Gods plan, it´s what he´s written and I can´t change it. He obviously saw something in you that so many of us overlooked. I know I shouldn´t question but I do like why does evil get to roam this earth but yet your kind soul who never saw ugly in anyone and would have given your last food to eat, money or whatever to someone and you didn´t get the chance to live a full happy life. Even for myself why should I get to experience things in life you never got to. It just seems so unfair. Yeah I know, life isn´t fair! Today is a day I´ll never forget because that was when I wasn´t given a choice, I had to let you go. You may be gone in body , but forever in my heart and soul you live on. I miss you so much Tyler and I know you´re at peace and free of all the pain, heartbreak, and hurts you´ve endured in life. I hope you have the most beautiful spiritual life now and that you don´t remember any of the pain or sadness of this life, but I hope you remember me, us ! I love you so so much. Forever my son, and never forgotten

Hey my son, it´s been a year and 3 months. I miss you Tyler and I always will. So much has happened since you left. I know you´re around because you miss me too. I know you loved me and I love you too! I´ll never get the last time you said it just days before. You were sitting at the table and I walked out my room and you said, I love you Mama! What I wouldn´t give to hug you so tight! I´ll love and miss you, till I see you again.

Yesterday made you first year in Heaven. I did a few things in remembrance of you. I know one thing has you smiling and shocked. I wish we could have done something like this together, I would have loved to have seen how happy you would have been and proud of me. I hope throughout everything that you thought I was a good mother to you. I really tried to be and I know I wasn´t always at my best , but I promise you Tyler I´ve never not loved you and I never not wanted you in my life. I miss you T-man! Always

My son, my Tman, my Ty, my heart is shattered in a million pieces. You and I talked a lot about this day happening in all our talks we never talked in any depths of how or others my feel. Looking back at those talks I could never have put into words to you what I feel now. I don´t think they have any words to describe it. I know you in life had many battles you faced and I´m sure they may be even worse that I may feel now. All I can say is there no way to describe it. As long as I am living and breathing Tyler my heart and souls will always be aching. Part of me left with you. As you have been made whole again and you are anew , I know once we are together again as so I will be. I love you Tyler more than you know!
