I never met Tyler, but through the videos, pictures, and stories online, I've come to know a little about this young man. I never saw him without a smile, and I never saw him without loved ones around him. This was a wonderful, young man, full of life, passion, strength, and happiness. My condolences and prayers go out to all of you who love Tyler. I am so sorry for your loss. What you have lost, Heaven has gained.
