This site is dedicated to the memory of Ty Neuhaus.
Ty Neuhaus, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Neuhaus, passed away on the morning of November 30, 2012 in a tragic car accident. Ty was a standout ball player at Wharton High School and for National Powerhouse FTB Mizuno. He went on to play for nationally ranked Yavapai Junior College in Arizona. Ty was an incredible young man and a gifted baseball player and was taken from us much too soon. The Neuhaus family Ken, Karen and brother Tucker wish to express their sincere gratitude and appreciation for the incredible outpouring of love and support which the community and friends have unselfishly shown to the family during their time of loss.
The Neuhaus family has established a memorial fund the proceeds of which will go directly to the family for medical and burial expenses and possibly the establishment of a scholarship in Ty's name and his memory. There is a link above which will take you to the memorial fund so you can make your donation and contribution in memory of Ty so his legacy of excellence and achievement will continue on.
The Family grieves deeply for the loss of their son but takes comfort in knowing how many lives Ty touched in his short 19 years. As a final thought, the Neuhaus family would remind each of you to cherish your loved ones and kiss your kids good night, each and every night as life is fragile and fraught with risk and danger.
A memorial service will take place on Saturday, December 8, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. at the LifePoint Church of New Tampa. The address is 8702 Hunters Lake Drive, Tampa, FL 33647.

Thoughts
It’s been nearly seven years since Tyler’s passing and eight years from this event I’m going to recall, but I seem to think about it whenever I see an owl or walk by a certain baseball complex near my home in Jupiter, Florida.
I was then working a tournament for Prospect Wire and when I came in early before a game, I saw a young man in a baseball uniform focused on something outside the net of a batting cage. I came closer and saw this beautiful owl whose little feet were tied up in knots by the netting. It was obviously scared out of its mind and had no way of escaping. It was a big one with these giant yellow eyes and I was thinking how I’d never seen an owl in broad daylight before.
Tyler, a high school kid, was grabbing every tool he could get his hands on, from our keys to his baseball equipment, working frantically to free this poor owl. The rest of us kind of watched and supported but we really had no idea what to do. It must have taken him a half hour but he untied the owl being most careful at the end so that nobody would get clawed when it made its desperate escape.
I remember his father almost in tears telling me how proud he was that his teenage son had such a good heart and I was thinking the same thing! That day was my only contact with Ty, his father Ken, and his younger brother Tucker who was also playing in the tournament. But Ty’s selfless spirit and compassion is what I remember so fiercely. I am forever grateful I crossed paths with him to witness his saving of that owl’s life. He impacted me without hardly ever knowing me!

Ken, I can't imagine the grief you must have. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. If Ty was anything like you, I know he must have been someone special. Bill Gerber (your old Dubuque baseball coach).
