Brian, so sorry to hear about your nephew. From where I believe, you’ll see him again. Peace and comfort wishes to all of your family.
My deepest condolences to your entire family! 🙏🏻
Tyler, you were always so easy to talk to. We weren’t super close but every time I slid up on a Snapchat story you were always so kind and our conversations were so funny. So sassy but so kind, the best combination. My heart hurts finding out the news of your passing, you were such a good person & definitely gone too soon my friend. I’ll cherish our high school memories & our adult ones.
My condolences to the family and friends of beloved Tyler. I wish I could have been there to support you all on this hard day.
