I knew Tyler through my brother, Matt, because they were friends and went to school together. He was always a very nice person. I hadn't heard too much from him for years, other than Facebook, but a couple of years back, Tyler delivered a pizza to my house. He was perky and chatty. I always liked him and believed him to have a good heart. I'm so sorry for your loss and to lose him at such a young age. You're all in my prayers.
