Our hearts grieve that he&#8217;s not here to hug, tickle, and have in our presence, and yet we are covered in the peace that passes understanding and deep comfort knowing he&#8217;s healed and wholly restored. God chose to give him a forever healing. We could not be more proud of Tyler and the way his life reflected joy, compassion, courage, gratitude, open-handed living, and faith in a God who loves him even more than we do. Because of our firm foundation of faith, we walk in victory and we walk in hope. \u00a0We know that Friday was a heavy &#8220;see you later,&#8221; and not a &#8220;goodbye.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We will celebrate his life this Friday, October 14th, and invite you to join us. \u00a0While Tyler was given a sprint and not a marathon, his life had a profound impact on many, many lives.
