Tyler,
I remember the day you were born I was so happy to have a beautiful baby boy, I am so proud to be your father.
You were so Smart , Loving & Caring as well as a great friend to me & others.

Today you would have been 31 years old & I muss you more than you could ever possibly imagine.
I know your no longer in pain & living a beautiful life in Heaven with Jesus Christ. Some day, when it is my time to join you, I will hug you & tell you that I love you.
Until then, You are always in my heart and my mind. We all miss you so much. You will never be forgotten.
Forever, love you
Dad

I met Tyler in 2010 and we instantly connected through our passion for music. I will always remember Tyler as just a super nice genuinely selfless person who would always be there for you if needed. Such a huge loss. He will be greatly missed.

I don’t know how to do this. I don’t know what to say, either. This still seems so...fake, you know? Yeah, we only knew each other for about a year since Jacob introduced us, but we would talk pretty often. Just rant on about the daily BS we had going on. You were one of the realest dudes. A true homie, even after only a short time knowing you. This is one of the reasons why you were going to be introduced into Wolves At your Door. The day after you left us was the day I was going to be messaging you and talking to you saying ‘make it to practice this Saturday or I’ma beat you up!’
Like I said, I really don’t know how to do this or what to say. Sentences are hard to string together in such a way that don’t just seem like babbling or nonsensical ramblings.
To his family that I have never met- don’t regret the life that he lived. Because even with the troubles he had gone through, he was always a light in this dreary world to the ones that called him ‘friend.’
‘So long, and good night.’

In the short time I knew him, he was an amazing guy, all around just really funny and caring. He will be sorely missed by so many. RIP, I hope we see each other again man.

I have been tirelessly working for the last week to put into words what Tyler means to me. How in the 12 years we've been friends, he never made me doubt him. No matter how different our lives- individually- were becoming, our loyalty and friendship were never in question.
Tyler is that person that could make anyone feel as though they belonged. He built confidence (never without constructive criticism about your hair, of course) and made you feel at home. He made you see your worth and strength when you couldn't see if for yourself.
Talking to Tyler always came naturally. Whether it be that we're just hanging out, both bored with nothing to do, or its 2 in the morning and life is falling apart.
He was my anchor. My reality check. My best friend. He was the one that I could undoubtedly trust, without a second thought.


This world has not been the same since you left, Ty.
You will always hold a piece of me that I will never get back. You were such an important part of my life, and many others. I will always miss you. I will always think of you. I will always mourn for you.
Rest easy, Tyler.
I love you

I didn't know Tyler well. However, I've known the Fanning family for 46 years. I grew up with the Fanning kids and am good friends with Pat Mace. My heart goes out to all and I will share in your grief at the service. Much Love - Sherry

You were my best friend since we met, over the course of years our bond grew bigger and bigger. After those seven years of friendship and both going through some really harsh times he grabbed my hand and without a doubt in my mind or soul I said yes. Even though our struggles we always made it work. He was the most loving person in my life, and a day before he passed we made plans on making a family of our own and move in together. I will always be waiting for the day we meet again and make our dreams come true and everything will be perfect just like we always dreamed about it. You took a piece of my heart with you so hold on tight to it till the day we are finally together again. You meant everything to me, all I could wish for is that our dreams would have gotten accomplished in this life. Remember you have a big family and group of friends that will always keep a piece of you in their hearts forever, mine will belong to you till the end of times. I love you very much and I hope you get the piece you deserve my love, now it’s your time to rest. Your girlfriend will miss you forever my love, and I hope you know that for me you were the most beautiful person and the person who had the no judgement over my past, I want you to know that there will never be a person like you, you are and will always be my unique type of love that I always dreamed of. Thank you for all the good memories that will live on and the knowledge you shared with me will never be forgotten. You were the light at the end of my darkness. I appreciate everything you did for me. I will miss you more than anyone could imagine, specially those cuddles while watching our favorite movies. We will miss you double Tyler ?? thank you for letting me be part of your life and making it a more interesting one. Much love from the love of your life, Milaris Cabito (Mila)

I met Tyler when we were about 14 and we immediately became friends. We always had a great time, mainly because Tyler is always great company and could make any situation fun. From hanging around at the mall or movies or just chilling and goofing off. It honestly broke my heart when I found out what happened. Tyler was such a beautiful soul and finding someone like that in such a tough world is priceless. You couldnt help but to smile being around him, free spirited is by far an understatement. He was a "laugh with the sinners rather than crying with the saints" kind of friend. I don't think Tyler would want to mourned, but celebrated for the great person he was.

~ Ayla Brennan - August 18, 2019

I met Tyler through his good friend Zach. He always had such an inviting and warm spirit and I really felt like he was such a genuine person. No bullshit just got straight to the point about things. I really admired that about him. He showed me his plushie collection and I though it was so cute and unique and I loved him for it.

~ Maria Bernardo - August 17, 2019

I've known Tyler since I was a child. He was always such a genuine person and I always had some amazing conversations with him. He was a good friend and I care for him deeply.

~ Debi Amburgey - August 17, 2019

I've known you nearly my entire life, in elementary school you hired me to be your employee in rocket city and we have been friends ever since. I watched you go through pretty much every change you ever had and it saddens me deeply to know that there will never be another, we mostly just nerded out about various things and it weird to think I'll never hear your opinion on kingdom hearts 3 lol, I never thought I'd have to say goodbye so soon, I thought we still had memories to make but I'll take what I have and cherish the time we did have. I love you man rest easy.

~ Austin Riley - August 17, 2019

Tyler you and zach are like family to grace and i. The first time i met you ill never forget how much we hit it off. You were family from the start and always will be. I knew you as someone to always look too for help or guidance. You were so innocent and kind but willing to wear your heart on your sleeve. You made an impact on my life and you will live on through your brothers and family. We love you and will never forget you. One of a kind my brother. This is just something that shouldnt of happened but everything will be for you rip my brother you will be missed by so many..

~ Tyler Endsley - August 17, 2019

Tyler, I'm stumbling over my own thoughts and words trying to explain how much I miss you. Our friendship was going on 11 years, and Facebook memories keep popping up with you in them, reminding me of how much we actually hung out together. We shared so many similar views when it came to feelings and emotions, and honestly, you were one of the few people I wouldn't have to explain anything to, because you already knew what it was like. You made me feel like I wasn't so alone, so trapped and consumed in my own thoughts. You were so kind hearted and generous, and just a genuinely good person to spend time with, we were definitely never bored even if we weren't doing anything. You imprinted yourself on my heart, and I will always remain grateful for the bond that we had. I miss you so much, bro.

~ Mary Flannery - August 17, 2019

Tyler, when I met you in high school 12 years ago I came from another school and knew no one at Apopka high. You were one of the few people I became friends with during my senior year. We stayed friends after school ended. I remember so many great times and parties in your camper. I remember coming to hang out and you and I would look up song lyrics from bands we liked. I remember the time you dragged me to a karaoke night at broadway pizza and convinced me to sing a song but I would only do it if you came up with me. I remember all the times you made me laugh with your goofy and fun personality. You were one of the nicest people in my friend group. Anytime I needed help with something, you were there for me. I never saw you be mean to anyone. I’m glad we got to hang out every Wednesday night this past year bowling. You were an incredible human being I will cherish all these memories I had with you for the rest of my life. I love you brother. I miss you.

Tyler was such a giving and kind soul. Too many times to count that he was there for me in my time of need. He was also there for many many fun times and memories. I will never forget when I randomly bumped into him at Rancid and we jusy immediately embraced and ran around the pit together. Love you Tyler!!! You will be greatly missed?

~ Jes Thomas - August 17, 2019

He was always so nice and helped me with my shyness, introducing me to his friends. Always made me feel welcome.

~ Amanda Stovall - August 17, 2019

Tyler has been one of the best friend’s I have ever had. I miss him so much, and my life will never be the same without him. I love you, Tyler.

~ Angelique Vaquera - August 17, 2019

Tyler and I used to have lots of crazy adventures all around Apopka. He will always hold a special place in my heart. I truly hope he has his peace, he was one of the best men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

~ Matt Jones - August 17, 2019

I think my favorite memory of him will always be the time he saved me from being stranded at kitland nelson. A really bad storm was going on and there was lightning going off like crazy. I messaged him and he responded instantly. Him, Alex Diaz, and one other person came and scooped me up and we went back to their friend's and hung out. He barely knew me back then and to come help me without being able to get anything in return was just such a genuine gesture. I think in that moment, that's when I knew who he was deep down. I'm blessed to have known someone so compassionate and caring. He will forever be in my heart as one of my closest friends. Not many people gain that position but he was without a doubt the most loving person I think I've ever met. He will be greatly missed.

~ Haley Ricketson - August 17, 2019

This is still not regestering as real events. You were a brother to me and to many others. I am going to miss spending time with you at coolstuff,talking about you digimon game, you showing off your pokemon plushies everytime you added one to your collection and same for the key blades. I wish I had more time with you. We all do but we will get that chance later on. My son and wife adored you and you will always be in our thoughts and hearts. I can not stress this things enough. In the end I have no regrets about meeting you Tyler. You were one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of spending time with. Thank so very very much brother. Thank you.

~ Jacob Jones - August 17, 2019

I met Tyler through my boyfriend Will a few years ago. He was my favorite of all Will's friends and they both knew it. Will was Tyler's reading buddy and taught him how to read. Will would steal his cookies and when I would bring Tyler cookies Will would laugh and say I'm paying off his cookie debt. I took 2 videos of them last Saturday night playing around and I'm so glad I did. Tyler would come to our old place and they would duel. The last time he dropped me off at my house a couple of weeks ago he helped me get my stuff and gave me a hug bye. We were singing in his truck together on the way. I have so many great memories of him. He was Will's best friend and brother. He is irreplaceable. We love you Tyler.

~ Renee Smith - August 17, 2019

My sincerest condolences to Tyler's parents during their time of great sorrow.

Tyler and my son Nick have been best of friends since Elementary School and have continued until now. I remember many times them spending time together and Tyler's bigger than life personality. I am heart broken to see that he is gone.

Till we see you again Tyler

Tyler was an amazing soul. He was a very caring person that always did what he could to make others happy. He was bigger than life with his amazing smile and contagious laugh..

I was best friends with Tyler's mom and we raised our boys together. I couldn't have asked for a better best friend for my son Jeremy than Tyler.

I will miss his presence everyday. I can hear his big laugh filling my house with joy and I can feel his warm embrace as he always greeted me and departed with the best bear hugs. I sure wish I could get one more.

Tylers memory will live forever with me..he is a piece of my heart and soul and the world just feels a little duller without him.

Until we meet again Ty..love always
Your second mom

~ Lizz Wilcox - August 15, 2019

Tyler was such a joy to have around us. He was a great friend to my son, Austin. He was always happy and willing to help a friend in need. He hid his own troubles to others. He will ne missed by us all.
