I can't believe it's almost been a year. It really feels like I just had a phone call with you just the other day. I think part of the reason is that I feel you with me all the time. It's hard to remember the last time a day went by that I didn't think about you. It's usually a small memory or a phrase you'd say and I usually end up smiling to myself and looking up to the sky. I can't believe how lucky we were to have had Tyler in our lives. As a friend, as a mentor, as a brother for life. alk to you soon. Love you and miss you brother.

Tyler was simply a great human. It's hard for me to put into words how much he meant to me. He was one of my best buds and was going to be a groomsmen in my wedding some day. Its hard for me to think of many people. I've spent more time with in my life than Tyler. From hanging out in Toni's basement, to summer trips at Mr Rigneys in Texas, to going to a Broncos game every time T was home, I always looked forward to hanging with Ty. Tyler was curious, intelligent, kind, and fun. Everyone loved being around T and he always wanted to make sure everyone was invited and had a good time and made everyone laugh. Ty also had a way of connecting with people. He was very empathetic and always had an open ear. He helped me get through some tough times and could always provide some perspective on situations. He wanted the best for people and was their shoulder to lean on. I didn't mind going home during college for breaks because I knew I'd see Ty and we would be doing something fun. Some of the best memories in my life are because of Tyler. It's hard for me to put into words how much I loved him. He inspired me and motivated me and cared for me, and that's all a friend can ask for and Ty was the best friend. I was always hoping you were finally gonna move back to Denver for good but you had so much to explore and see. You a Youmy hero and will always be remembered, cherished, and loved. Love you doggie.
