To Tyler's family and loved ones,
It's been nearly two months since Tyler passed away and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about Tyler and how much he changed my life and impacted the lives of others. His legacy of helping others and loving unconditionally will live on- I have no doubt in that. Tyler is nothing short of amazing and will be truly missed.
My Deepest Sympathies,
Brittany Trefelner

I was lucky enough to get Tyler. He was a tremendous person. I too once struggled from addiction and tried to shed light on him. My father passed away in November. He too was a ex drug addict. I haven't spook to Tyler in a while and was crushed by the news of his death. I've been trying to mentor people who are suffering from substance abuse recently. And I know it's a struggle. I give my deepest condolences and sympathy to his family.

Eric and Family, I just recently heard of Tyler's passing. Please accept my deepest heartfelt sympathies. I met Tyler just a few times. He is one of those few people who strike a note of warm familiarity the moment you meet them. His contagious smile and kind ways come back to mind quickly at just the thought of his name. May God bless you and your family with peace in the knowledge Tyler is home in heaven and in the Lord's promise of a loving and eternal reunion.

To Tyler's Family-
I did not know your son but my friend Cortney Lovell posted his obituary on Facebook. Your tribute moved me to tears. Thank you for your honesty about your son's struggles. As the mother of a 28-year-old who battles with substance use disorder, I think every day about the fact that I might be writing his obituary some day, that no matter what we do or say, my husband and I can't protect him from this awful, vicious disease. That is our reality and I am so grateful to you for telling Tyler's story to the world. The stigma is the worst part. Your love for your son and the battle that he fought is courageous and people need to understand these are human beings, not statistics. My deepest sympathy for your loss. My gratitude for your truth is enormous. May Tyler's memory be a blessing to you.
Sincerely, Ann Herbst

I did not know your Tyler, but when I read the beautiful obituary that you wrote for him in the Times Union, I just wanted to tell you how moved I was by both Tyler's story and your honesty. Tyler sounds like he was a beautiful soul, and your unconditional love for him, despite his addiction, is a really rare and beautiful thing. I;m so sorry that your family has had this same tragedy occur twice. I know that so many of us who knew Tyler and who DIDN'T know Tyler, wish you all comfort, love and the peace of knowing that your honest story has touched a lot of people.

Griffin and Family,
I am very sorry. The obituary was both a wonderful tribute to Tyler and a moving statement about what addiction can do. I believe lives will be saved because of what you wrote. Tyler's life had purpose, and his death will as well.

I don't know your family but I share you pain. I was so saddened to read of another one taken away by this horrible disease. I lost my son Roland on 7/2/2014 and seeing another person taken from this world so horrible. I wanted to reach out to let you know there is help for one loosing a child and I hope that you can find comfort in that support. I attend the Schenectady Chapter of Compassionate Friends and this has help me through some tough times. Parents are not suppose to bury their children first. The group meets on the first Wednesday of every month. It is at St. Kateri Tekakwitha Church 1803 Union Street Schenectady NY. There is a chapter in Albany but I don't know where it meets. My love and prayers go out to you and your family the lost of your precious child. They will always be our children. May you find comfort in prayer and know that I understand your pain. Sincerely, Glendora Vuignier

To Tyler's family and friends-
My sincerest condolences. I did not know Tyler but I read his obituary in today's paper and I first want to thank you for your wisdom and courage in publishing his story. I too have lost friends to addiction over the years. I took the liberty of publishing his obituary to my Facebook page today, asking folks to work towards reforming laws and making treatment easily available to anyone who needs it. Please know that through his spirit by way of your kindness and courage others may be able to get the help they need.
God bless you all.

I had the wonderful opportunity to get to know Tyler at The Meadows. One of the funniest most genuine guys I have had the pleasure of meeting in my life. Hell of a ping pong player too! Fun guy. My time with him was short but deep. He left a trail. He will be sorely missed by all who met him. RIP Tyler

Griffin, Leslie, John, Eric, Kathy and the entire family,
We are very sorry for your loss. Tyler was an amazing and loving guy that was always a joy to be around. You are all the best family Ty could have ever asked for and you always gave him so much love and support. I was fortunate to get to know Griffin’s little brother while in California and his wit and smile will be sincerely missed.
Griffin, I know Ty will always be missed…please take comfort in knowing you have several other brothers across the country and around the world that will always be here for you and your family. Love you brother

I met Tyler in treatment in 2014. He took me under his wing from day one. He was so full of life and made so many people laugh. I will miss him dearly. My one hope is this can help shed more light on addiction. Rest easy, Tyler.
