"I'd Like the memory of me To be a happy one. 
I'd like To leave 
an Afterglow of Smiles 
when day is done I'd like 
to leave an echo....
Whispering softly down the Ways of happy times 
and Laughing
 times and brighten any sunny days. 
I'd like The tears of those who 
Grieve to dry before the Sun of happy memories 
That I leave behind 
when Day is done." 


Thanks Chesie for creating this beautiful website.  Picture of Chesie can
 be found in photo album.

Day25 is a band which was formed in memory of Tyler by a few of his friends.  The band is named Day25 because Tyler passed on 3/25.  Their first song in Tyler's memory is Hero of the day.

Thank you Trindi for this awesome graphic.  Love you.

Tyler, I remember sitting at the kitchen table with you 
late at night.  You were always trying to teach me
new card games.  I wasn't that good at it, but I miss it so 
much.  I'm sure that your friends miss you at the poker table. 
I know you enjoyed playing poker with your friends so much.
Your poker set is still sitting on the table in your room right
 where you left it.

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...

Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord

 Tyler was the happiest person I ever knew.
 He was always laughing and his laugh
 was contagious. He enjoyed life to the fullest.
 He enjoyed spending time with his friends and 
family. Tyler loved to hunt with his friends and 
his brother. He enjoyed playing pool and poker 
with his friends. He enjoyed 
lifting weights with his brother, they belonged 
to a club and did this together everyday. 
He enjoyed sports and was very athletic.
 Football was his passion, (he was team
 captain his senior year), he also played
 basketball (he was on a select all star team), 
baseball & also participated on a select All Star 
baseball team, he also ran track. He enjoyed 
playing drums and electric guitar. He loved music, 
Country music was his favorite. Good Old Country
 Music.  Conway Country. He loved to be surrounded
 by his friends, and had so many friends.
 Everyone he met became his friend. 
He was very artistic. When he was 8 
years old he painted an oil painting of mountains. 
This was a project that we worked on together,
 because I use to oil paint andhe wanted to learn. 
He painted his painting over the Christmas Holidays
 when he was in 4th grade.  It can be found on the 
legacy page.  He loved to go to the Beach, he looked 
forward every summer to vacations. This was a family 
event for us nephews, neices, and cousins. On our last
 vacation, the summer of 2004 while we were on the
 beach, I remember he told me, Mom, once A.J. & I are 
married and have children, we will have to rent out the
 whole condo building.. I will never forget those words.
He was always thinking of the future. He died 2 months
 before graduation. He had planned on going to college 
for Architecture. I treasure every minute I had with him. 
He lit up the room with his presence.

Tyler died in a boating accident on 3/25/2005. 
That morning we had a long talk about a few things. 
He was always open with me and we could talk about 
anything. I miss all the talks we had. Tyler died instantly 
from a head injury. The doctors said he did not suffer, it was
 instant.  He was a lifeguard, if he would not have had 
a head injury, he probably would have been able to save 
his life.  He spent the day with his friends, so I know he died 
with a SMILE on his face. When I went through Tyler’s things
 I opened up his Bible. He had highlighted a few chapters in 
the Bible. Most of them were on forgiveness. That is the kind of 
person Tyler was, very forgiving. 
He never held a grudgeHe taught me so much in his short life. I miss him so much. 


















































Your smile always lit up the room my handsome angel!!!



























This is the chapter in the Bible Tyler had highlighted
MOST  of the highlights are on FORGIVENESS!!!

Mary, Please take care of Tyler
He likes Tight Hugs!!!
Thanks
