Amazing young man! Timing is eerily unique in a special way as he lived all thru 2018, and lived it he did.

Iowa fan here, thoughts and prayers to Tyler his family and his beloved Purdue family.

Boiler Up

 

[Spinn]

I really hope Purdue does something to honor him permanently. It isn't often that a player, or person can bring so much positive attention to a sport and a school. When a player does this they are honored with a retired number or all american honors. I would love to see some sort of a shrine, statue, or something to honor and acknowledge this young mans achievements! God bless him and his family.

This young man made me a Purdue fan (for all but one game), what a courageous kid...he carried himself with so much dignity. Left quite an example for us all.

Rest well, Tyler.

He never wavered in his love for his Boilers. There should be a special scholarship in his name.
