In Loving Memory of My Son, Tyler

On the evening of July 30, my world changed forever. My beloved son, Tyler, tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident.

As a single mother, I had the privilege of raising Tyler into the incredible man so many people came to know and love. He lived with me, and we spent time together every day. He wasn't just my son—he was one of my closest friends. He was incredibly close with me, his brothers, and his sister, and our home was filled with his laughter, his optimism, and his love. The silence he has left behind is impossible to describe.

Tyler was a true free spirit. He always found the bright side of every situation and refused to live in "what ifs." He believed everything would work out, and somehow he made the people around him believe it too.

The last several months were some of the happiest of his life. He had recently started his own business, and it was thriving. He had dreams, goals, and plans that were finally becoming reality. He was surrounded by family and friends, enjoying life and making memories.

Above all else, Tyler loved being a father.

His sons, Kanan and Keanu, were his greatest joy. Every chance he had, he spent with them. They were the center of his world, and everyone who knew Tyler knew how deeply he loved his boys.

Tyler also had a generous heart. Whether he was spending time with family, helping friends, or volunteering to hand out pizza to people experiencing homelessness, he always wanted to make someone else's day a little better.

Because Tyler's passing was completely unexpected, he did not have life insurance.

I am asking for help to cover the funeral and funeral home expenses so I can give my son the service he deserves. After funeral expenses are covered, all remaining funds will be set aside to help support Tyler's sons, Kanan and Keanu, and ensure they continue to have opportunities and experiences their father worked so hard to provide.

If you are able to donate, no amount is too small. If you are unable to give, I completely understand and ask that you please share Tyler's story.

Thank you for your prayers, your kindness, and your support during the most difficult time of my life.

Tyler, I love you more than words can ever express. I will make sure your boys always know how deeply their daddy loved them. ❤️
