He took a huge personal interest in the Row-A-Thon, which was an event organized in memory of another fraternity brother who had passed due to asthma. He led the team through the event and raised funds that were donated to Asthma organizations.  Tyler was very proud of the friendships he developed while in the the fraternity and knew they would be life friendships.

    Tyler was an amazing young man who had so much promise. He was my only grandson and I was so proud of him for all of the accomplishments he had achieved at such a young age. He was destined to do great things in the future, a future that was cut way too short.

    We will miss him forever but will remember him for the joy he brought to his family and all who knew him throughout his short life.

    What an impact this incredible young man made during his lifetime. My granddaughter wrote about Tyler on her FaceBook page. He will be missed by so many, but he leaves some amazing memories. Quite a legacy from one so young. Condolences to his family.
