Dear Morgen, we did not hang out however the impact Tyler did on my, my hubby and our daughter was incredible. Always a smile, always positive, always funny, almond and willing to help out, always honest and respectful. God chose this husband for you so you can walk now without him by your side. He chose Tyler because he gave you strength, love, encouragement, support . He taught you values, those that you can overcome anything. He will always be by you in your heart.

Dear Lee family,
It is with a heavy heart that I send these condolences. I can't imagine the loss you feel but please know that my family and I are lifting you in prayer. The last memory I have of Tyler is when he was at the school lending his mom a hand and he was telling me about his plans to be a firefighter. He was super excited about it. I remember him as a kind soul who loved his family and loved to helped others. May you all feel God's embrace during this difficult time.
