In his short life, Ty brought boundless energy and joy to all who knew him. From a young age, his charisma and zest for life were evident. Ty was a man who never stood still; he was always seeking new adventures and challenges, displaying a curiosity and enthusiasm that inspired everyone around him, young or old. He was a true angel on earth who touched everyone he met with love. Ty’s kindness and playful spirit made him a beloved figure in the community, with his neighbours and strangers alike. He had a passion for cars, basketball and life itself. He was a remarkable young man taken from us too soon.

Those who knew Ty will forever remember his enormous smile, his friendly welcoming nature.
