Tyler (also affectionately known as T.J., Pete, and Petey) loved nature and the great outdoors. He could tell you the name of any tree, bush, flower, or weed. He loved to hunt and fish, and would rather sleep in the woods and listen to the coyotes howl than sleep in his own cozy bed. He had a charming wit and a winsome smile, and never met a stranger. He had a true heart for people, and would do anything to meet a need. He loved his family dearly, and delighted in making his Momma smile with funny quotes, articles, and pictures he randomly sent throughout the day. His love for his God, his compassionate soul, his kindness and respect to anyone he met, and his sweet, precious spirit will be remembered and missed. In a world of darkness, Tyler truly did let his little light shine.....
