He would tell me about the sky in Afghanistan, the clouds, the bright stars just shining so much. And I would look at the sky and it was comforting to know we shared the sky.

Tyler and i went to school together since we were in the 4th grade. He was my elementary crush and i will always have in my heart. We had some great times growing up and he will never be forgotten. I love you tyler, you are a hero in alls eyes!
I'm Tyler Roads mother. I personally from my own heart want to thank EVERY single person who's heart has felt such a great loss. I am Proud, Blessed and Honored that I had the privilege to have Tyler in my life as long as I have. There is no word to describe how bad I will truly miss My Baby Boy as Tyler always said. My Son sacrificed His life for Our Country. I knew the dangers but never imagined I would ever know this kind of pain. As Tyler's Mother, THANK YOU!!! Honey, ilumtaitwww, dont forget pamf!!! semper fi
RIP, Tyler, your legacy of freedom will live on. You've done your duty well and grateful Americans know the price of freedom is a priceless gift we can never repay.
Semper Family,
Laura
The impact that Tyler has had on so many lives has to give you, Sonia, such a feeling of pride... He is watching over you now saying " come on Mom... I believe in YOU .... YPAMF" He as well as you will forever be hero's to me...
sonia, from mother to mother, iam so so sorry, my heart brakes for all of you. But especially you.
A mothers love,

In our eyes,
they do no wrong,
We only want ,
whats best for them,
So, all the little things,
we'd do again,
To keep them safe,
both day and night,
Through any delemma,
through any fight,
I know Tyler,s safe,
I know He,s sound,
For our lord God,
He has found,
Just know I believe,
in YOU,
"A Mothers Love,"
oh so true.
ALWAYS, (Aunt) Traci
