Eight years ago today, we lost Tyler.

Behind the strong athlete, was a sweet, thoughtful, kind kid, who was struggling w/ his mental health.

We didn’t see the battles he was carrying quietly inside.

We share Tyler’s story & these photos, not just with sadness, but also purpose, because mental health struggles don’t always look like we expect them to—checking in, listening without judgment & showing up can save lives.

Today & everyday, we hope Tyler’s journey reminds you to never assume someone is okay just because they look strong.

Eight years ago we made a promise to Tyler & our student athletes:
we will keep talking, keep showing up & using Ty’s voice to change & save a life. We know Tyler would be proud.
