Tyler, 19, was a native of Swain County majoring in biology at HPU. He loved to run track and cross country and spend time with his brother, Bo, who is pictured above with Tyler.

A memorial service was held on campus to honor Tyler where his professors and friends were in attendance. His family expressed deep appreciation for the prayers, visits, and assistance from the university and all who stood by them during the moments of heartache and loss.

"Tyler was an extraordinary student and compassionate friend," says Dr. Nido Qubein. "As we talk to many who knew Tyler, it's clear he was planting seeds of greatness at every turn. We will miss Tyler, but Tyler's legacy will forever remain on the HPU campus and in the hearts and minds of all those he touched."
