Wow. I only JUST learned. News doesn't always travel quickly when it ought to.
Almost 6 years to the day before he passed, Tyler was Elder Almond, showed up at my door with Elder Betts. I hadn't been to church for the better part of a decade and they wanted to talk. Thus began befriending numerous Elders over many months, followed by my teaching Sunday School for a year, then a calling in Elders Quorum.
I owe Tyler more than I can ever repay. He helped reignite a fire for the gospel which burns hotter and brighter now than it ever had in my life. I look forward to seeing him again. I have no doubt that he's counted among the best missionaries to ever serve.
My love and gratitude to his family. He was truly exceptional. Hopefully, this note brings more joy than not. If not, I am truly sorry.
