I had the honor of knowing Ty when he was younger and spent many days watching our kids play! Back then it always brought a smile to watch how Ty included everyone, how gregarious and outgoing he was and how he was not afraid to be the boy God created him to be!! He was charming, mischievous and clearly had a huge, tender heart. As I have read about his life over the last few days it has been obvious that he remained true to being who he was...compassionate, gregarious and humble~ always willing to include everyone!
