My son Justin met Tyler at C.A.M.P. C.A.R.E. this past year and spoke highly of him. I lost Justin's identical twin brother, Chad at 8 days old 11 years ago. When our children die, a part of us dies to. I pray for moment by moment peace for you. If you ever need to talk, I am here.
So sorry to hear this news. Tyler was always so happy. Always enjoyed when he came into the office at RSMS. He was great at putting a smile on everyone's face. What a gift.
Tyler, although I had only known you for a short while, you always brought a smile to my face. You were one of the big reasons why I loved being in your classroom! You will be greatly missed! I am praying for your family as they mourn your passing.
Tyler my sweet boy - how you touched the lives of all who meet you. As I sit in your rocker and look around at all your touches in the room I feel so so blessed that my God brought you in our lives. I remember when you were first brought in this world and you were so frail and small but with each day our Lord strengthened you and you started your amazing journey through life touching each heart of each person who met you. That beautiful smile that lit up every room you entered! You instantly made a bad day better and showed us how to put things in the right perspective. The few words you could speak never limited your conversations and your determination to have us understand something that had happened that day. That beautiful smile-How I will miss that - but it it etched in my heart and mind forever. We were so blessed to have you my dear Ty and you will never be forgotten by those who loved you. I will forever be thankful to God for blessing me with you . One day I will be with you again and be able to wrap my arms around you and kiss your soft cheeks until then Sweetheart sit with Jesus and tell him your wonderful stories and warm him with your smile. All my love Mom-Mom
To Chele and family, You are in my prayers as you struggle with the loss of your son. He is an angel now and may your hearts heal, knowing this. Cindy Granger
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
There is no message or words I can say to express my sorrow. Tyler and I met when he came to RSMS he just walked up to me and said hi while I was waiting for bus dismissal. The next week he walked up to me at North Bay again to say hi. I was drawn to his happy disposition and smile. I sought him out and he sought me out before bus dismissal. I was over the moon when he was assigned to bus 95, I knew would have the chance to know him better. He made me a necklace with the alphabet and the words girl, Tyler and bat. I asked him if I was the girl or the bat and he laughed so hard. We soon developed a understanding of each other. He would get upset if his Bridget wasn't on the bus I don't know how many times I lied and told him she said she was getting a ride to calm him down. I remember him being so concerned about a loose chicken on Telegraph Road not being with it's Mom. He also thought a deer on Biggs Highway was asleep and couldn't understand again where the Mom was. I called in a favor from someone to make sure Tyler didn't see the deer was not asleep and had it removed. He was so happy when it was gone and with it's Mom. He cried one time when he noticed I knocked down a spider web on my mirror and the spider was gone. He had a wonderful spirit and loved everyone, his smile could pick you up when you were down. I feel so blessed I continued to seek him out when he went to High School, I am stuck remembering the ring ceremony, Chelle was trying to get him to take off the ring which was sized to small, he was not having it but as soon as I said I couldn't see it take it off so I can see it, he did. I loved he trusted me and loved he got to be such a fixture in my life for those two years in middle school. I feel so blessed to have shared my word searches and popcorn and mints with him. Prayers of peace and comfort for your family, and all his friends during this time. Sherry Tolbird
To Chelle and the entire family.... we knew Tyler through Laura and Brooklyn. Our daughter is Brooklyn's best friend. Tyler was such a sweetheart and we will miss his glowing smile and heartwarming personality. Your angel on earth is now an angel in heaven. We will miss him so much. We will be praying for peace as you navigate the days ahead. Sending much love.
Chelle Words seem so inadequate. May God grant you peace as you remember the joy and pure love you shared with your son Tyler. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Chele - I never had the pleasure of meeting Tyler. After the outpouring of love I am seeing, I regret never being able to spend time with him. How blessed he was to have you as a Mom. Having a son with disabilities myself, I can understand the love, sacrifice and devotion it takes. Sounds like you were his angel on earth. God bless all of you.

I miss your smile!! I know I will see it again and you and nana are cuddling giving each other butterfly kisses right now.
Rest in peace my sweet boy! Our lives were made richer with the 19 years we were able to spend with you. We had so hoped for many more, but you were taken from us way too soon! Your smile, laughter and silliness will be with us forever! Aunt, Tina
Tyler was always a joy and a blessing when he rode my bus. He always had a smile on his face when he got on the bus and especially when he went home. He always brightened my days. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Tyler was such a vital member of my classroom during his years at RSHS. He was a friend to everyone. He was at his best when he was helping others. Tyler especially enjoyed spending time with all his friends in the Buddy System club. We are all saddened by his passing, and will never forget all the times he made us laugh. We send our thoughts and prayers for peace and healing to his family, and hold happy memories of our time with Tyler in our hearts.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Every time I got on the bus in middle school I sat right by Tyler or around him. I could have the worst day ever and he would just make my day ten times better. He was a great person with an uplifting personality. He will most definitely be missed by people he talked to and saw everyday.
Thoughts and prayers to your entire family. Steven says Camp Care won't be the same without Tyler.
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Tyler. My son Travis went to school with him and he truly loved Tyler and would come home and tell me about him all the time. I remember going on the last middle school trip to Washington DC with them. It was always such a pleasure to see Tyler's happy face. He will be missed!! Sending prayers to his family.
May God bless and give your family peace of mind. May you soar to the highest places. Peace be with you and always with your family.
