As we face the inexplicably painful loss of my precious nephew, and as I watch our community rally in support of my brother’s family… I hope that through this fundraiser we can once again in a final, collaborative gift of love, lift up my brother and his incredible family in providing him the ability to choose any tombstone he would want - one that would represent the amazing life my nephew lived, as well as one that adequately (if that were possible) represents the enormous impact he had on all of us in 18 short years.

This is not a “need” the family has expressed but is a voluntary opportunity for any and all of us to be a small or large part of this final piece of Tyson’s physical journey on this earth. I’d love to overwhelm my brother and his wife to choose any memorial they desire. Please join me if you’d like. Jeff, Brindy, we love you more than words can express. And to each of you who choose to stand with us in this time, thank you will never be enough.

Any funds raised in excess of the memorial chosen by the family will be used in continued evangelistic outreach and support/discipleship through Ignite Christian Church in honor of Tyson’s life and desire to bring as many as he could to Jesus.
