Tyler was a very nice person. I wish I spoke more to him.
I remember in 9th grade when I was walking in the halls at school and Tyler said hi to me. He was very nice. I also remember in 5th grade when he would do those finger tricks. They were cool.
PS. Sorry I'm late
I'm a little late, but I just found out today. I went to Middle school with Tyler. After middle school, I went to do home school and so I kind of lost contact. Today I decided to search for Tyler on Facebook and see if we could maybe get back in touch. I never expected this. I considered Tyler one of my best friends. We met in Art class, 7th grade. He was the best in the class. He was so smart, talented, kind, and he had a great sense of humor. We also had Science together. I'm in shock, and I feel so terrible that I didn't know sooner. I send prayers and love to Tyler's family, and I hope that he knew he was loved by them, and by his friends. I know we'll see Tyler again in the future.
I met him at Northwest Middle. I didn't know him too much but I still admired him. He drew quite a lot. He was great at art in general. He left the school during the 8th grade year along with his girlfriend Mali. It was a bit saddening, but I had had the chance to talk with him a few times, and I hoped he considered me a friend. After that I saw him once more at west High and spoke to him once or twice in the hallways. But then after the first term I had left to a different school, but still had contact with his girlfriend.
She was the one who broke the news to my friends and I. I had a few more friends confirm. I hope he considered me a friend while he was alive, and I wish I could tell him how much we miss him. I have seen his profile in my messenger and almost opened it up and sent a message once or twice. It is hard when someone you consider a friend dies.
I hope he did see at some point he was loved. By many. I'm glad I found this memorial.
See ya Tyler.
I remember the first time I met Tyler. It was in 7th grade in our College Career Awareness class. I remember the grey & black striped sweater he always wore. I remember the big binder he would carry. His drawings. Most importantly though, I remember him being happy. When I heard about him passing my friends were talking about it. They said they had him in a class but he that he always looked sad. I then asked them "Wait, Tyler Myers?" I feared the response but the second I heard it, my heart felt heavy & my chest tightened. I couldn't believe it. My eyes began to water & I everything came rushing back to me. A couple classmates & I were close to him. After a while, we lost contact with him. I would see him around, but never really talked to him. He would always show me his drawings & I remember thinking "This kid is talented." After that, I asked him what he wanted to be & he said "A video game designer." I could see it. He was very talented & smart. When I was on problem 3, he would be done with his entire worksheet. This was all in 7th grade. Later that year, I had the second semester of C.C.A with him. He seemed more quiet then. Nonetheless, happy. At least, he looked that way. I don't remember how, but we ended up on a topic about religion. He told me he was Mormon & even though we didn't have the same religion, I still listened to what he gad to say about it. I like learning about other religions & he had given me a clearer perspective of how it was like to be Mormon. When my friends talked about how sad he always looked in the Science class, I was shocked. He was always smiling & laughing when I knew him. I guess he had changed over the years. This one time, I was passing by him in the hall, I think it was a few weeks maybe a month or so, I'm not sure how long actually. Point is, I saw him walking, & I was going to ask him how he was doing since I hadn't talked to him in over a year, but I knew I had to get to my class seeing as how it was on the opposite side of the school. It still hurts to know that maybe I could have helped him. Asked him how he was, made sure he was alright, etc. I can't help but to think of all these "what if's". I know I shouldn't blame myself, & I don't. I blame those who drove him to do what he did. (That is, if he did die that way. I'm not too sure about the details, but it's not my buisness, & I can respect that.) Helpful or not, I should've checked up on him. It would have been worth being late to class. He was a good friend, & I will continue to pray that he rests in peace & is able to look over & take care of his siblings, his parents, & all his other loved ones. My condolences for his family. R.I.P Tyler. 💜
I don't know you. Or anyone related to you. I just happened upon this site and saw the obituaries. You look so young and full of life that it is very saddening to see this. I pray for your best in the afterlife. I pray that your family is comforted. I pray that people remember how valuable life is and cherish every moment with their loved ones. Rest in peace Tyler Jonas Myers.
We love you. We have a picture on our wall of our wedding day. You are in the picture with your Blake cousins. You were 8 and was smiling so big. We remember your smile, your kindness, and your wit. We will miss you a lot.
Tyler, I still picture you as a spunky first grader eager to share your knowledge with others. Your big smile, sparkling eyes, and genuineness towards other people with be greatly missed. I remember the games you would create, the stories you would write, and your laugh. Eva was so grateful for your friendship and how you would always talk to her no matter what. She had so much fun with you at the coding conference this summer. We were so lucky to know you. You will be greatly missed. Fly with the angels. Love, Mrs. Uribe and Giles’s
