Our sweet Tyler walked arm in arm through heavens gates with two of his friends on April 26th, Tyler was in the 10th grade at Wilson and loved being a Warrior and fooball. Tyler was such a funny and caring young man who loved his family and friends dearly. He had a special love for his little brother Drew, who looked up to Tyler as his hero. He was such a joy to his parents and family. His smile was contagious and his positive attitude was a blessing to all who knew him. This is not good-bye, but a “See you later.” We love you Tyler.
Survivors are his parents, Kirk and Christi Nelson; maternal grandparents, Michael and Debra Montgomery; paternal grandparents, Catherine Nelson and Kirk Nelson, Sr.; brother, Drew Michael Nelson; several aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.
