Dear Tyler,
It is difficult to share my feelings, and thoughts but I will try. I've known you for so many years that you became apart of my family,- one of my sons, not just Zach's friend. I will miss you in so many ways.
I remember the sleep overs throughout the years. You were alway amazing-even in elementary- You would say to me, "Don't worry about me. I'll tell you you just what to do and what I need". You were a grown up in a little boy's body. You always made me laugh when you asked "do you have any cheetos or popcorn to eat"? You fit in nicely with our other two red heads and yes, you even managed to fight with them occasionally, just like real brothers do. You always included Jordan with whatever you, Zach and the rest of the "boys" were doing. Thank you. It made him feel loved and accepted by you.
I remember the baseball games. You were quite the "spit-fire". It was fun having Zach share this with you.
I loved having you over for the "game" days that often turned into "game" nights. I also remember fondly the airsoft wars, night games and paintball treks. Do you remember the lectures I gave the gang on how to clean the yard after the fun was over?
Aliens in the Rockies, just won't be the same without you on the team.
Thanks for letting the boys cool off at your house so many times. They would always say, "we don't need a pool cause Tyler has one and always invites us there".
Birthdays with Zach will never quite be the same without you either. You always remembered him and gave the most thoughtful gifts.
Zach will treasure the times you asked him to the cabin and to Lake Powell. I'm so glad he has had you for a friend. Good friends are hard to come by.
Thanks for letting the boys use your house (while it was still under construction) to shoot their movie. Thanks for the hours you willingly gave them to help act in it as well.
Tyler, I love you. I will miss you, but you will always be apart of me. I will never forget you.
Thanks for making me laugh so many times. Thanks for making me feel joy when you were around and how could I ever forget that cute laugh of yours? Thanks for always being so strong and giving me hope of becoming a better person-
Love you.

Tyler,
We had some great times; playing night games in your back yard, airsofting everywhere, paintballing with the guys, trips to the cabin and Lake Powell. All will be my fondest memories. I still remember swimming in your pool that one hot afternoon and spraying those kids from the elementary cuz they were annoying.
You are a rare kind of friend, always included everyone regardless of their differences. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we are proud to be called your friends. Although I'm going to miss you, I will always cherish the memories we had, and I will always honor the friendship we had. You were never afraid to be yourself, and I very highly respect that. You're an inspiration to us all, a great man and will always live in my heart.
your friend,
Zach Nebeker

You have always been like a brother to me, even though he only met in middle school it feels as if ive known you forever. I feel as lonely as ever without you here to cheer me up. I will always miss your smile that could cheer up anyone on even the darkest of days. You were always there for everyone and always helped anyway you could. I will always miss you and I look forward for the day when I will see you again. Thank You for being their for me. I am Honored to call you "friend".

VODE AN, Brother
