*Update*

The love, support, and generosity shown over the last few days have been nothing short of extraordinary. Because of every donation, every share, and every kind message, we reached our original goal far faster than we ever expected. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

As we continue searching for answers, we have made the difficult decision to increase our goal to $30,000. We are determined to leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of the truth, and these additional funds will help us cover any and all expenses that may arise during the private investigation. Tyler deserved a full life, and he deserves for every possible avenue to be explored.

We remain hopeful that there will be answers and a resolution, and we are committed to seeing this through. Transparency is incredibly important to us, so we want everyone to know that if there are funds remaining after all investigative costs have been covered, every additional cent will go directly to Tyler’s family to help with funeral expenses or to support them in whatever way they choose.

The outpouring of love for Tyler has been overwhelming. Thank you for helping us honor his memory, stand by his family, and continue the search for answers. We could not do this without you.

On April 7, 1991, the world got a little brighter—and anyone who knew Tyler Wilkin knows exactly what that light felt like. He was the friend who always showed up, the one who made ordinary moments feel like adventures, and the person you wanted beside you on a beach in Puerto Rico or riding shotgun with the music turned all the way up. “Remember Everything” will never be just a song to us again.

We lost Tyler far too soon, and the grief left behind is impossible to put into words. As his family and friends continue to navigate this heartbreaking loss, we are determined to do everything we can to seek the truth and ensure that Tyler receives the justice he deserves.

To support this effort, we are raising $15,000 to hire a private investigator who can help uncover answers and ensure that every possible avenue is explored. Our hope is that, through this additional support, we can find clarity and honor Tyler’s memory with the dedication and care he deserves.

Every contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward these investigative efforts. More than anything, this fundraiser is a reflection of how deeply Tyler was loved and how many lives he touched.

If you are unable to donate, there is still something meaningful you can do: share a memory of Tyler. Tell us about the songs he loved, the laughter he brought into your life, or the adventures you shared together. We have created a place to collect his photos, stories, and memories so that the people who loved him can continue telling his story: renidy.com/obituaries/tyler-wilkin

While our goal is to raise $15,000, every donation, every message, and every shared memory is a gift. Thank you for standing with us, for loving Tyler, and for helping us honor his life.

Forever our Tyler.
