Tyler was my brother and a wrestling enthusiast. Although he did not continue his wrestling career after one year at Labette, he followed the sport on many levels. His way of contributing to the sport was being a referee.
Tyler was an inspiration to many. He was involved in a car accident his junior year of high school. His right leg was amputated about 6 inches below the knee. After a long road of recovery he wrestled his senior year. The beginning of the year was rough, but Ty preservered and nearly qualified for the state tournament. No matter how tired he was after each match, he would force himself up on one foot to shake his opponents hand, win or lose.
My family and I want to thank everyone for their support and prayers.
