Tyler was involved in a vehicle accident on the evening of Sunday, October 19th, 2025, in Beatrice, Nebraska, where he is studying Livestock Management and Production at Southeast Community College. He sustained serious injuries as a result of the accident and has been hospitalized since that time. We are raising funds to help defray the costs of hotels where his family has been staying during his time in the hospital, as well as any medical expenses that he'll incur as part of his care.

Tyler graduated from Arlington High School in May 2025. He enjoys hunting, fishing, and loves farming! Tyler is always there to lend a hand, and everyone who knows him can confirm that he's the hardest worker out there. He has two younger sisters and a little brother who adore him, and he loves his dog Bodie! Tyler is currently in the ICU away from home and has a long road to recovery in front of him. Once he's able to leave the hospital, he will need rehabilitation services.
