No loss is as sharp as one this sudden. He’s gone too soon.
All our thoughts and prayers go with your family. You do not shoulder this grief alone.
The Flory family is so sad to hear of your loss. We have been thinking so much of you and your family and the special memories we have of spending time with you all, and Tyler. You have our deepest sympathy.

After God removes wickedness and suffering, the earth will be transformed into a paradise.
Then people will be able to live in health and happiness. God’s word foretells: “God will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will morning or outcry nor pain be anymore”- Revelation 21:4
In that new world even dead ones will be brought back to life to share in those blessings. “There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous”. (Acts 24:15) That is why Jesus could tell a repentant evildoer who expressed faith in him,”You will be with me in paradise”- Luke 23:43
I hope these thoughts provide some comfort during this difficult time.
The world lost a bright light when it lost Tyler. That light will always shine on in our hearts and memories.
Love y’all I’m so sorry.
To my best friend,
Tyler, I miss you friend. You have been a part of my life for over 2 decades. I will always miss you. I will never forget when we became friends. Just a couple of kids in school talking about ours dreams of rodeo and when we grow up being cowboys. I will never forget the lifelong friendships forged on the road traveling to and competing in rodeos. We never won a dime, but the memories are priceless. The crazy road trips we had and the sites we got to see. We were just a couple of kids living our dreams together one rodeo at a time. For all those years we were never apart, spending practically every day together. I will never forget the branding at Uncle Steeples or the Chris Ledoux concerts at the Rooks County Fair. Every November we would sneak behind the chutes at The American Royal and hang out with our heroes, one of the best memories was meeting Chris Ledoux and shaking his hand. No matter what happened I knew we would be together. As we grew up, our dreams of being world champion cowboys got put on the back burner for reality and real jobs.
Tyler I will never forget when you told me that you had a calling to join the Marines, you did all you could to get me to join with you. I supported you and I told you I wanted to be a State Trooper. No matter where in the world our jobs took us we still had the time to speak on the phone and catch up on old times. As we traveled down separate roads we both met our wives and started families. I figured we would grow old together and tell our kids about our wild adventures. We were both as stubborn as they come, but no matter how mad we were at each other we could always sit down and talk. I will miss our late night conservations on the tailgate and your untamed spirit.
You were and will forever be family and my brother. I always told you that you were the brother I never had. We played, fought and had our disagreements through out life. But no matter what happened we were brothers. I will never forget you and I look forward to joining you some day on that big ranch in heaven. I know you will be waiting with a good horse and living the life we always dreamed about.
My god bless you and Good Ride Cowboy, Good Ride

I’m so sorry for your he was such a wonderful Guy. Colton is such acutiecprayers to all the Family & Friends.
Scott, Keeping you & your family in my thoughts, heart & prayers.
Incredibly saddened to hear of the tragic accident. Tyler and my son Brandon were friends from his PMS days and eventually he farmed our ground, the same ground his great grandfather farmed…may your family find peace in time and laughter in the sweet memories you share. Prayers, the Mailand Family
This loss hurts deeply. Tyler is spoken of as being at peace. That’s appropriate because it’s scriptural. (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10) The next thing Tyler will hear is his name. (John 5:28; 11:43, 44) Hope to be there to welcome him back.
Scott and family
There is no pain like losing a child, and no words that can take away the heartache you feel. Just know that we hurt with you, and pray for the day when the ache will soften.
Bob and Francie Soetaert

Tyler was an amazing person! He made EMS school so much fun! Whenever I didnt have a partner I could always count on Tyler! He was always talking about Colton and his wife! We met once and we all sat together at the parade! So so sorry for your loss!!!

Deeply sorry for your loss. Keeping you and yours in compassionate thoughts & prayers.
