Love, Gary and Debbie

Scott and Cyndi,
Andre and I just learned of this today. Words cannot express how sorry we are. The loss of a child has to be the most painful thing that a parent could ever go through. If there is anything we can do to help please let us know. We will always remember the days in the backyard.

Michelle and Andre Liggis

Scott&Cyndi, Amber, 
This is Zach, I dont know if you remember me I was Ambers boyfriend from lititz. I always wonder how you guys are doing and to hear about something like this......is just heart breaking. He was such a beautiful little boy, I cant even imagine what you are going through. Once again my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Cyndi, Scott and Amber,

We are so sorry to hear about Tyler. Our thoughts are with and your family.

Scott,Cyndi & Amber,

I am so sorry it took me so long to write something but I have been at a loss for words. It has been a big honor knowing you folks and I am not sure how or why but Tyler was always our little buddy everytime that we saw him, if it was a week or a year her was always so excited to see us. We will live with that memory forever. Thank you for letting that special young man have that influence on us. He will be missed but never forgotten!
God bless you, you have been our prayers every week when we bow to pray.

I had the privilege to meet Tyler once, but by the time I met him I felt like I had known him my entire life. Amber speaks of him fondly and often. I knew so much about him without having met him. I wasn't going to write anything, but couldn't refuse after seeing all the wonderful comments about his smile. And yes, he had a wonderful smile, but that's not what left such a lasting impression on me. Within 2 minutes of knowing Tyler in person he wrapped his arms around my neck and licked me right up the cheek! I turned to Amber, stunned, and said, "Your brother just licked me!" She said, " Yeah, he does that." I looked at Tyler, who still had his arms around my neck and said, "You licked me!" He laughed, the best laugh I have ever heard, ran to get his backpack, and showed me pictures of his past few days on vacation. I have had a great time getting to know him through stories from Amber, but meeting him was so much better. His smile and laugh I will of course remember, the lick up the cheek will definitely be with me forever. 
Thank you Amber for sharing your brother with me.

Cyndi, Scott, & Amber.....we are deeply saddened to hear of your loss.  Please accept our deepest sympathies during this very difficult time.  Our thoughts & prayers are with you.
Love, 
Cousin Peter Denunzio and family

Cyndi & Scott, I am so sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Cyndi....I was so glad to be able to share a moment with you when you came in with your beautiful daughter today at Cubs, 2/23/10.  How very difficult it must have been.  I think of you and Tyler all the time...and your family.  I hope  didnt say anything to hurt you more today.  You are in my heart as is Tyler.  Watched the video.  My heart goes out to you all.  If you need to talk or anything....call me.  264-6001.  God Bless

Scott, Cyndi and Family,
Scott and I have enjoyed Tyler at several ball games over the years. We were so sorry to hear about Tyler, and will truly miss him. Thanks for sharing him with us! We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss.  Your family will be in the thoughts and prayers of many.

Scott and Cyndi
We were so sorry to hear about Tyler. We met him at the Blues games last month.He was an amazing young man!We will keep you all in our prayers.

Dear Scott, Cyndi, and Amber, My favorite time with Tyler was when he went tandem cycling with me. We went around the neighborhood together having a terrific time! We will all miss him.

Uncle Scott & Aunt Cindy, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Tyler was such a special person to all that met him, and he will be missed greatly. He will always hold a special place in our hearts. We will miss you Tyler. Love You both, Cory and Stacey

Cyndi,Scott and Amber:  I can't even find the words to express how sad I feel for the loss of Tyler and I can not even imagine what your family is going through.  I know I miss him greatly at Jamieson School; his smile, his energy, his laughter and his love. I also miss seeing Cyndi every day as she always brought Tyler to school and picked him up.  Tyler was truly blessed to have such an awesome family.  Their support and love for Tyler and for Tyler's school was never-ending.  I thank you,Cyndi and Scott, over and over for what I have learned from having the privilege of knowing and working with Tyler.  My love and prayers are with all of your family. 

 Karen Orendorff, Principal at Robert A. Jamieson School

Words can never express the loss of a child, but not everyone gets to experience the love of a special child.  There are no words to describe the joy that they bring to us.  We are the lucky ones.  He truly was an angel on earth with the sweetest smile.  I'm so very sorry for your loss.  Susan and Jack Carter

 











Scott and Cindi, what can I say about Tyler, or more like what can I not say. He was a remarkable young man he touched our lives in such away that we will never forget. Zach was telling me a story on how at one of the Cardinal games there was another boy there and Tyler wanted Zach all to himself so he would in away "fight for zach" and zach said hands down tyler had him beat. His hugs were infectious,and his smiles even brighter. I know he always hated to say good=bye or if he did he wanted to go home with you and i would of surely taken him. He will be greatly missed the cardinal club box just won't be the same without him. You can have peace in knowing you had so many great memories with him and you got to do so much with him in his short life.  Know that he is in a wonderful place still giving hugs and waiting once again to hug you. i love you guys.

To the Dawson Family...

I am Josh Gordon's grandmother.  Josh and Tyler were classmates at Jamieson. He was a very special boy!  Everytime I went over to the school for some event they were having, Tyler would immediately flash that winning smile of his and come over to communicate with me.  My heart cries for each of you at this time.  I know your heart is crying even more than I can imagine.  Tyler was one very special child that God shared with each of us.  Please know that each of you who supported and nourished this precious child are in my prayers.  I'm sure Tyler is flashing that smile of his as Jesus holds his hand.  I pray that, in time, your heart will ease when you truly realize that he is with Jesus.  In Christ's name I pray, Amen

To the Dawson Family. 

I am with the Peoria rivermen front office and I wanted to express my sympathy to your family on the loss of tyler. I have only been with the organization a few months but had the honor and privleage of meeting your son tyler at the rink. Last night when I walked by the casket and saw the St. louis Cardinals hat it made me think of a pharse used at the funeral mass for jack buck the cardinals broadcaster. " Heaven you have a winner go Crazy heaven go Crazy" I say that becasue heaven trully has a winner.

Scott,Cyndi,and Amber - Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.You were very fortunate to have Tyer in your lives. Walt Dawson and family.

Scott and family,

very sorry for the loss of your son I can't understand wha you must be going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this hard time.

Eric Burgess

Scott and Cyndi.I was really in shocked,when my sister Cindy called and told me about Tyler.He was my sunshine.on a glommy day.He always made me happy to see him.like all the kids did in Jonthan class.But he was my little buddy.he'll always be in my heart.an in my thoughts.he was my little Ingles boy.from little house on the paries.you all are in my prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, we too will miss seeing Tyler riding his bike down Rachael Drive. Tyler will be greatly missed.  "The Parker Family" @ 5622 W. Rachael Drive

Cyndi & Scott - 
We were simply floored when you called to tell us of Tyler's passing.  We simply cannot imagine what this time is like for you.  I feel there is nothing we can say to bring you comfort.  But know that we are thinking of you every day and supporting you in our thoughts and prayers.  This guest book is evidence of the numerous lives he touched.  He was such a very special person and we will miss him greatly, but we will remember him always.

Tyler was my favorite cousin, and by far one of my favorite people in the entire world. He was one of the only people that could always put a smile on my face, and probably the only person that I could never get mad at. I cannot help but to be angry and mad that God took him from us this early, the only thing that gives me comfort is knowing that I will be playing GI joe with him again. Tyler, words cannot describe how  much i miss you and i love you. I cannot wait until I see you again <33333 miss/love you MacKenzy

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of mourning. May God bless you with the strength to persevere thru these difficult times. Rod and Stephanie Bryant  / Quality Kiln and Dryer Inc. / Oakdale, Louisiana

Scott and Cyndi,
We will miss seeing Tyler smile and wave to us from your driveway. The street will seem empty without him.  We will always remember Tyler.
Love, Tom and Jenny Lee

My deepest sympathies for your loss.  I was lucky enough to be a part of Tyler's education team as the school social worker for Jamieson the past 3 years.  Whenever I would show up at Jamieson, Tyler was sure to smile and wave~he didn't seem to know a stranger. His smile was infectious!  He will be missed by all.

Scott and Cyndi,I was deeply sadden today to see in the paper the loss of Tyler,You don`t know me but when you would come to Lowe`s garden center in Peoria I would talk to tyler and he would show me what ever action figure he had with him that day he`s showing them to God now.

Our family sends our deepest smypathies for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Tyler's passing. My niece Jade used to go to Tyler's school when she was in kindergarden.

My deepest synmpathies to the family for such a sad loss of an outstanding young man with a heart of gold and the biggest smile any full size adult could carry!  I will always cherish the memories of our hugs at the hockey games but mostly the memorble walk we had together to get the Rivermen player cards and Tyler holding my hand for the first time.  He would be the first one I would look for when going to a game and could not wait for his smile and hug each time.  I will pray for him and share in your loss.

My name is Lisa Potter and I work at Hoerr Nursery. I was one of the people lucky enough to get to work with the students from the Jamieson School. The students would either come to the nursery or we would go to the school. Tyler was one of those great kids. We planted flowers, made glitter pinecones at Christmas, and one of the funnest things we did was make scarecrows at the school--so much laughter! I loved his smile and his hugs! 
I am so sorry for your loss, he was a great kid and will truly be missed.
I'll miss you buddy!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Be strong. Love Mark, Donna, Cassidy, MacKenzy, Zoey, English, Hunter and Dakota.

My name is Lisa Potter and I work at Hoerr Nursery, I am one of the ladies that work with the Jamieson students. I have worked with Tyler, planting flowers, making glitter pine cones at Christmas, and one of the funest times was when we made scarecrows! 
I have aways enjoyed it when Tyler was in one of my groups! He had a great smile, that is once he got to know me :). 
I will miss his visits to the nursery, he was one of my buddies, loved his hugs!! 
I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss, he was great kid! 
He will be missed.
