Tyler is one of the first people I met in Dallas. He was an amazing guy, full of smiles and laughs. Such a good friend to my husband and I. He pushed me to continue my dreams. He was truly an ultimate experience to me and my friends, (never a dull moment) you are missed Tyler.
I was quite close with Ty in my early years of attending school with him in Hawaii. We shared some special memories and I miss him. He was a tremendous friend. I remember him telling me when he died he wanted David Bowie’s song dancing with myself to be playing.
Tyler is one of the funniest, most loving person I know. I adore him since we met in Honolulu so many years ago. I loved that he was so vigilant on keeping in touch for all these years. I love Tyler and he will always be close in my heart. His family has been in my thoughts.
“People fear death even more than pain. It’s strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend.”- Jim Morrisson
