Tyler’s Story

Site created on August 16, 2019

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place.  On August  13th, 2019 was the day Tyler had a completely random episode while on the phone during work where he could not speak any words he was thinking for almost 45 seconds. This led family and friends to encourage him to go to the hospital with expectations of a stroke. This began our journey of a diagnosis of Stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma only days later. The journey is just beginning, and although it will include a lot of appointments, treatements, tears, and questions... it will also be filled with strength, love, family/friends, memories, laughs and time well spent cherishing every minute of it! 


 We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. We hope this site helps you to all follow along side this journey with us! It takes a village :) 


PS. Wear sunscreen

November 16, 2019- Attire

Journal entry by Kaylee Carroll —

For visitation on Sunday, we would like everyone to wear your Spencer Strong gear in support of Tyler. If you don’t have a Spencer Strong shirt, there will be a handful there (first come, first serve) for a free will donation. I believe just in L and XL. If you don’t have a shirt, please wear your favorite sports attire (preferably Dolphins, Cardinals, or ISU... but we’ll let it all slide this one time if not)

Monday attire will be formal to respect Tyler as we celebrate his amazing life he has lived. 

Here is the link to his obituary. 💔
