Tyler and I are neighbors, and we grew up playing on our street together almost every day. Just a few days ago, he passed away at the age of 23 due to a battle with brain cancer that he had been fighting for about 14 months.

However, Tyler was still able to teach us a valuable lesson before passing:
Life is Precious.
He may not have done this intentionally, but this is how I coped with the loss. He managed to live life to the fullest, cherishing every moment. He maintained a positive attitude, and enjoyed his time with family, friends, and loved ones throughout this time.

Tyler was one of the nicest and most caring guys I knew. I could not help but ask, "Why?" He was loved by everyone that knew him. He was brilliant and successful in school. He was a great all-around athlete. He was the best son, brother, and friend that anyone could ask for. In short, he will be missed dearly by us all!
Tyler, you will live on forever in the many incredible memories that you have made with us all. In addition, I will cherish every moment like it's my last, not taking anything for granted. Please watch over us all, and may God rest your soul in peace.
Love,
Karim
