IN LOVING MEMORY OR OUR SON TYLER LEE EVANS WHO WAS TAKEN BY A DRUNK DRIVER WHO WAS ALSO AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WORKING HERE IN WV
It is hard to explain what my sons death has did to me and my family but, this is a little of what it has left me with. My world has been shattered i face each day with the strength that comes from Ty and my family. I also know that Tyler loved us so much and would want me to carry on and raise Micah the way I was raising him. I have no doubts that Tyler knew how much he was truly loved for each day I did have with him he never once woke up to hear anything other than mommy loves you my sunshine bear. I always told him he was beautiful and I always said thank you to Tyler for doing even the simplest things. My little boy was amazing spirited he once told me he wanted to see the wild horses run free and looking back he had that free spirit. How he loved his family, friends, Dorito (his pony), his 4-wheeler and dirt bike was just so amazing the kindest heart you could ever imagine was my son. Tyler was so smart and so unique, what an angel he was on earth and always gleaming with love and that free spirit he carried. In one second your entire world can fall apart. So don’t forget today to tell your loved ones just how much you love them and how special they are because it can all vanish in a split second. Drinking is another subject that really hits home now no I'm not saying to never drink but, if you do take that drink stay off the roads. Do it at home and be safe because what you think will never happen to you can happen to you in a moments time and your life or someone like my life can be shattered. My Tyler dreamed so big but do you realize that my Tyler never even made it to his first day of school which would have been 6 days after the wreck. We had went school clothes shopping, bought his first backpack, and all kinds of stuff he said he needed and never even got to use. The first day of school my sons name appeared on the chalk board surrounded by hearts along with the names of each child in his class but he was missing he had already gained his angel wings. And that’s not all only the beginning he wanted to play t-ball, He had an amazing passion for football which grew a little more each day. We hardly missed a WVU game in Morgantown and when we did we were in front of the TV cheering on Ty's beloved Mountaineers and on Sundays it was Ben Rothensburger and the Pittsburgh Steelers Tyler had his own helmet and uniform for the Mountaineers and the Steelers he dreamed of being a Mountaineer and a Steeler and buying me and terry a purple house and him a green house in Pittsburgh and having his dream farm but, he was going to be a Steeler and with the amount of belief he had it was all possible. when Ty believed in something it was possible in his eyes. But ever dream my amazing little boy had was wiped away on August the 31st by a man who should not have been in our country but he was. And he should not have been behind the wheel of a truck after drinking but he was. If someone in the room with him would have stopped him from getting behind the wheel I'd have my son. What I am saying to you is if you are going to drink don't drive. If you are in a situation to prevent someone else from getting behind that wheel think of my son and what his death has cost my family. The 22 year old who thought he didn't have a care in the world but, now he has to live with the fact that he took my sons dreams and life away all for a high is eligible for parole on January 22 2007. The saddest of all is that this man will most likely walk away within 5 years a free man and my amazing Tyler Lee Evans was only gave 4 short years here on earth. So remember today to say I Love You to those around you. I pray that this reaches one person who decides to take a look and see that I am right because Drinking Ends All Dreams. It ended my sons life way to soon and for that I am forever left to carry the whole in my heart that will remain there for eternity.

THIS IS A PICTURE THAT WAS MADE BY CHRISTINE FOR ME. THE PICTURE OF TY WAS TAKEN OFF OF A PICTURE OF TY LOOKING DOWN ON MICAH. BUT, HOW IT SUMS UP WHAT TYLER IS DOING RIGHT NOW. YES HE IS GONE BUT HE'S ALWAYS LOOKING DOWN ON US. kNOWING THE LOVE WE HAVE FOR HIM AND US FEELING THE LOVE HE HAS FOR US. TYLER YOU ARE OUR AMAZING SUNSHINE. WE LOVE YOU AND THINK OF YOU EACH DAY. Dear Mom, Please don't mourn for me. I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day and within your heart I
long to stay. My body is gone but I'm always near, I'm everything
you feel, see & hear. My spirit is free, but I'll never depart, as long as
you keep me alive in your heart. I'll never wander out of your sight,
I'm the brightest star on a mid summers night. I'll never be beyond
your reach, I'm the warm moist sand when your at the beach. I'm the
colorfull leaves when fall comes around and the pure white
snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which your so fond, the cool clear water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring, The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking theres no one to love you, you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper the answer through the leaves on the trees and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep, and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face, just look for me Mom, I'm everyplace! Thy Will Be Done "I'll lend you for a little time
A child of mine," He said
"For you to love there while she lives
And mourn for when she's dead.
It may be six or eleven years, or
twenty-two or three;
But will you, till I call her back,
take care of her for me?
She'll bring her charm to gladden you,
and should her stay be brief,
You'll have her lovely memory
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay
since all from earth return;
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
in my search for teachers true.
And from the throungs that crowd
life's lanes, I have selected you;
For I know you'll give her all your love
nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call
to take her back again.
I fancy that I hear you say
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done
For all the joy my child shall bring,
the risk of grief we'll run;
We'll shelter her with tenderness
We'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for her
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand. Silent Child My silent child
our precious baby,
Close to my heart
I'll keep you with me.
An important job
God has for you,
There is love to give,
and work to do. He needs an angel
strong but small,
To shine light on many
and give love to all.
Before you go
I give you this,
half my heart
and one last kiss. We'll miss you dearly
that we know,
But by God you were
chosen,
So to heaven, you must go

THESE ARE PICTURES OF TYLER'S HEAD STONE YES THEY ARE HARD TO LOOK AT BUT HOW PROUD TYLER WOULD BE OF THE HEAD STONE AND OF THOSE WHO BOUGHT IT FOR HIM. ONE THING ABOUT TYLER WAS HE ALWAYS SHOWED EACH OF US HOW HE FELT ABOUT US. TODAY I KNOW THAT OUR SON LOVED US SO MUCH AND I HAVE NO DOUBTS ABOUT THAT. ME, TERRY, TY, AND MICAH HAD SUCH A SPECIAL BOND. TYLER LIVED EACH DAY TO IT'S FULLEST WITH NO REGRETS. MOMMY'S LITTLE MAN WAS 4 AND SEEMED AS IF HE WAS 24 SO SMART AND UNDERSTANDING YET SO AMAZED WITH THE WORLD. TYLER WAS ONE OF A KIND AND A VERY SPECIAL TREASURE. WE WILL TREASURE OUR SONS LOVE FOREVER AND REMEMBER THAT FREE SPIRITED LITTLE BOY WITH SUCH A HUGE HEART.

TYLER'S DREAM OF BEING A MOUNTAINEER WAS CUT SHORT BY A DRUNK DRIVER. I HAVE NO DOUBTS THAT AS BIG AS TYLER DREAMED HE WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM MAKING HIS DREAMS COME TRUE. TYLER LOVED THE BLUE AND GOLD. WE WOULD GO TO THE STADIUM IN MORGANTOWN AND TYLER WOULD GO WILD. HE NEVER SEEN A STRANGER MAKING CONVERSATION WITH EVERYONE ABOUT HIS BELOVED MOUNTAINEERS. A FEW MONTHS AGO A JOURNALIST CALLED ME TO TALK ABOUT TYLER AND THE MOUNTAINEERS AND DRINKING AND DRIVING AND WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN TO TWO MOUNTAINEER FOOTBALL PLAYERS PULLED OVER FOR DRUNK DRIVING. AND MY RESPONSE WAS HARD BECAUSE TYLER RESPECTED AND LOOKED UP TO EACH AND EVERY MOUNTAINEER. SO I SENT THE REPORTER PICTURES OF TYLER IN MORGANTOWN AND TYLER HERE AT HOME PLAYING FOOTBALL PRETENDING TO BE PAT WHITE WV'S QB. I SAID TELL EACH OF THE PLAYERS OF MY SONS DEDICATION TO THEM AND HOW HE WANTED TO BE JUST LIKE THEM WHEN HE GROWED UP AND THEN TELL THEM OF MY SONS DEATH AND OF THE PAIN THAT I NOW LIVE WITH DAILY. FOR WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN TO THEM THEY SHOULD BE PUNISHED AND UNDERSTAND THAT ONE TIME COULD TAKE THE LIFE OF A LITTLE BOY WHO DREAMED OF BEING ONE OF THEM A WV MOUNTAINEER. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR IN MORGANTOWN HE SAID THAT HIS PLAYERS WERE IN SHOCK AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I CARED WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM WHEN I WAS DEALING WITH SO MUCH ALREADY. BUT, FOR ME IF MY SONS DEATH MEANS SAVING ONE PERSON FROM A DRUNK DRIVER THEN I AM DOING WHAT TY WOULD WANT ME TO DO.

TYLER WAS AN AMAZING LITTLE BOY WHO LOVED RACE CARS, ATVS, MOTORCYCLES, AND BEING A BIG BROTHER. TYLER WAS BORN ON NOV. 2, 2001 AND WENT TO BE ONE OF HEAVENS AMAZING ANGELS ON AUGUST 31, 2006 WHEN A DRUNK DRIVER CROSSED THE CENTER LINE AND HIT THE TRUCK TYLER WAS RIDING IN HEAD ON ON WEST VIRGINIA ROUTE 3 IN BOONE COUNTY. TYLER LIVED AT DOROTHY IN RALEIGH COUNTY WITH HIS PARENTS TERRY AND MARSHA EVANS AND HIS 22 MONTH OLD BROTHER MICAH. TYLER WAS A LOVING LITTLE BOY WHO HAD SUCH BIG DREAMS. HIS LOVE FOR LIFE WAS AMAZING. HIS GIFT OF LOVE WAS BEAUTIFUL TO ALL WHO KNEW HIM.
|
THESE PICTURES MAY BE HARD TO LOOK AT BUT TO ME THIS IS WHAT A DRUNK DRIVER DOES TO A 4 YEAR OLD LITTLE BOY AND TO HIS FAMILY. 3 OF THE PICTURES ARE OF OUR 2001 F-150 FORD PICKUP THE ONE WITH THE WHITE 2000 DODGE DAKOTA IS THE TRUCK DRIVEN BY 22 YEAR OLD CHRISTIAN JAVIER SANCHEZ-RUBIO THE DRUNK DRIVER AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WHO TOOK THE LIFE OF OUR FOUR YEAR OLD SON TYLER LEE EVANS. FOR ME AND TERRY AND MICAH A WONDERFUL AND AMAZING GIFT OF LOVE AND BEAUTY WAS TAKEN ON THE NIGHT OF AUGUST THE 31ST 2006. TODAY I PRAY FOR JUSTICE FOR MY SON AND I ALSO PRAY FOR THE DAILY STRENGTH TO DEAL WITH THE LOSS OF SUCH AN AMAZING LITTLE BOY. TYLER MADE UP MY HEART AND SOUL AND WITHOUT HIM I FEEL LOST AND I KNOW MICAH'S LOST WITHOUT HIS BUBBA. I HOPE FROM TYLER'S DEATH SOMEONE LEARNS THAT DRINKING AND DRIVING DON'T MIX.

WERE WE ARE 17 MONTHS AFTER LOSING TYLER. OUR LIFES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. TYLER WAS OUR LIFE. MICAH STILL ASK FOR TYLER OFTEN AND I TRY EXPLAINING THE BEST I CAN AND NOW I TELL THE TRUTH BECAUSE MICAH DESERVES TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO TY AND WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM WHY HE HAS HERO MARKS. I TELL ANYONE WHO ASK AND SOME WHO STARE EXACTLY WHAT MY LITTLE MIRACLE MICAH HAS SURVIVED. I AM IN NO WAY ASHAMED TO SAY THAT MY SON WAS KILLED BECAUSE OF CARELESSINESS ON THE PART OF SO MANY PEOPLE. WE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR PAIN AND PROBLEMS THE NIGHT OF THE ACCIDENT AND SINCE ARE IN SOME WAY PAID BACK FOR THEIR ACTIONS. I HOPE THAT THOSE PEOPLE WHO IN SOME WAY PLAYED A ROLE IN MY SONS DEATH SEE HIS AMAZING FACE EACH TIME THEY LAY DOWN AT NIGHT AND IF THEY DON'T MAYBE THEY ARE HEARTLESS. OUR LIVES WILL NEVER AGAIN BE THE SAME. OUR HOME IS NO HOME WHEN A PEICE OF YOUR LIFE IS GONE FOREVER. TYLER WAS NOT ONLY OUR SON HE WAS OUR BEST FRIEND. WHAT LOSING HIM HAS DID TO OUR LIFES IS BEYOND WORDS. I MYSELF CRY DAILY AND THEN I HAVE TO MAKE MYSELF REMEMBER THAT MICAH IS STILL HERE AND I HAVE TO FIGHT FOR HIM NOW. YOU LOOK AROUND AND HOPE YOU WILL EVENTUALLY SEE WHY BUT THAT DAY WILL NEVER COME FOR ME THERE ISN'T ENOUGH WHYS IN TRHE ENTIRE WORLD TO EASE MY MIND. OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN TORN APART AND OUR HEARTS SHREDDED. WE NEVER WANTED MEMORIES OR MONEY WE ONLY WANTED TYLER OUR SON. BUT NOW THERE IS NOTHING TO HEAL OUR PAIN WHAT WE WOULD GIVE FOR ONE MORE DAY EVEN ONE MORE MINUTE WITH OUR AMAZING SON AND BROTHER. MICAH WILL NEVER BE THE SAME NOR WILL I OR TERRY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO US HAS DESTROYED OUR FAITH IN THE LAW AND IN JUSTICE. THERE IS NO JUSTICE WHEN YOUR CHILD IS RIPPED OUT OF YOUR LIFE FOREVER. I SEE MY SONS LIFELESS BODY LAYING THERE EVERY TIME I CLOSE MY EYES AND WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO KNOW THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO FOR HIM BUT, FIGHT WITH EVERYTHING IN MY SOUL TO SEE JUSTICE COME TO ALL INVOLVED IN MY SONS TRAGIC DEATH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
