On April 29, 2021, we got the heartbreaking news that no one ever wants to hear. Tyler was diagnosed with cancer one week after having an appendectomy. If you’ve ever met Tyler, you know what it’s like to meet a strong, hilarious, steadfast, and incredible man. Tyler works as a Vice President at First Bank in their mortgage department, is a small business owner, and is a loving husband who is our main support. At just 34 years young, Tyler was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, an exceptionally rare form of cancer found in the appendix and colon. In the upcoming weeks and months, he will be undergoing several aggressive treatments ranging from chemotherapy to extensive surgery, to beat this cancer.

All donations will go toward paying medical bills for Tyler’s treatment, and other medical expenses related to the effects of chemotherapy. We cannot put into words how much any and all donations would mean to us. No donation is too small. Please feel free to share this page on any social media platform and with friends and family. Thank you all so much for visiting this page and keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

Now, let’s kick cancer’s butt together!

Love,
Katie and Tyler Pate
