COUSINS AND VERY SPECIAL FRIENDS JUSTIN DILLON, NICK EVANS, SKYLAR AND CORDELL RUNION, SHEA MEADOWS, ELIGAH AND KYLAH DOUGLAS. I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION TO ALL INVOLVED AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT, TO ALL WHO SENT FOOD, FLOWERS, AND GIFTS. A SPECIAL THANKS TO BECKLEY MOTOR SPEEDWAY AND TO JEREMY PECK AND PRINCETON MOTOR SPEEDAY, AND TO ALL MASSEY MINES FOR ALL THE SUPPORT TO OUR FAMILY THROUGH THIS HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.	TYLER, SKYLAR, AND CORDELL WERE SPECIAL FRIENDS THEY LOVED TO PLAY WITH THE ANIMALS. THE GOAT PICTURES WERE TAKEN LAST SUMMER WHEN WE HAD SOME NEW BABY GOATS. TY AND CORDELL WERE PLANNING THE GOATS NAME AND THEIR NAMES WERE LIKE POOPY BUTT AND DIRTY BUTT I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE EXACT NAME THEY CAME UP WITH IN THE PICTURE BUT IT LOOKS AS IF IT WAS A GOOD ONE. TYLER WAS ALWAYS HAPPY. HE LOVED THE HORSES IN THE PICTURE OF HIM AND SKY RIDING DORITO AND TERRY LEADING TY ALWAYS SAID THAT HIS PONY DORITO WAS HIS BEST FRIEND IN ALL THE WORLD. TY WOULD KISS DORITO AND TELL HIM HE LOVED HIM. HE FELL OFF OF TERRY'S HORSE CAST AND BROKE HIS ARM. HE WENT THE HOSPITAL AND SAID HIS DADDY DID IT. SO YOU CAN FIGURE THAT WE WERE QUESTIONED AS IF WE HAD BROKE HIS WRIST. THE DOCTOR WAS QUESTIONING TY AND HE SAID THAT HIS DADDY PICKED UP A BOLT OUT OF THE FIELD AND THREW IT AND HIT A CAN AND SPOOKED CAST AND TY SAID HE FLIPPED OFF AND LANDED UNDER THE HORSE. THEY ASK HIM IF HE WOULD RIDE AGAIN AND HE SAID I GOT UP AND GOT RIGHT BACK ON. HE WENT 3 DAYS WITH A BROKE WRIST AND NEVER ONCE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT. WE TOOK MICAH FOR A CHECK UP AND TY TOLD THE DOCTOR HIS ARM WAS SORE THE DOCTOR FELT OF IT AND SAID HIS WRIST WAS BROKEN WE COULD NOT BELEIVE IT. HE TOLD TY NO RIDING THE HORSES FOR 6 WEEKS ON THE WAY HOME TYLER ASK IF HE HAD TO LISTEN TO THE DOCTOR AND I SAID ABOUT SOMETHINGS YES BUT, ABOUT RIDING DORITO NO. I KNEW THE LOVE THAT TY HAD FOR DORITO IT WAS A BOND THAT LAST FOREVER.  HE WANTED A BIGGER HORSE THIS SUMMER BUT, TY ASK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO DORITO AND I SAID WE WOULD KEEP DORITO FOREVER NO MATTER WHAT. HE TOOK DORITO TO A BARREL RACE THIS SUMMER  AND TERRY LEAD HIM AROUND THE BARRELS HE WAS SO PROUD OF HISSELF AND HIS FIRST TROPHY.
THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN IN MARCH OF 2006. ONE OF TYMAN'S BIGGEST JOYS WAS SLEIGH RIDING. HE COULD NOT WAIT UNTIL IT SNOWED ENOUGH TO SLEIGH RIDE AT MAMAW AND PAPAW SHEA'S AND MAKE A SNOWMAN EVERY YEAR WE ALL GET TOGETHER AND MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT SLEIGH RIDING IT'S GREAT. THIS YEAR I THINK THERE WAS ABOUT 20 OF US. ME AND TY TOOK A WILD RIDE AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD SCARE HIM BUT, HE WAS READY TO DO IT AGAIN NOT ME. ME AND TY WOULD GO OUT IN THE SNOW AND RIDE MOTORCYCLES AND FOUR WHEELERS. WE HAD A FEW WIPE OUTS BUT, I BET YOU NEVER GUESSED THAT HE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! EVERYTIME HE WOULD ASK IF WE COULD WRECK AGAIN LIKE THAT. ME AND TY HAD SO MANY AMAZING TIMES TOGETHER HE WAS NOT ONLY MY AMAZING SON, TYLER WAS MY BEST FRIEND THE TWO OF US TOOK EACH STEP EVERY DAY AS ONE. WHERE I WAS HE WAS AND WHERE HE WAS I WAS. TYLER WAS GIVIN TO ME AND TERRY AS A GIFT FROM GOD AND WE  ALWAYS TREATED HIM AS OUR SPECIAL GIFT. WHEN WE LOST OUR SON, GOD GAINED THE MOST AMAZING ANGEL.	THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN AT THE GOOD EVENING RANCH  ON JULY 6ST 2005. ME, MOM, AMANDA, AND REBBA TOOK TYLER, CORDELL, SKYLAR, AND MICAH.  WE TOOK TY TO THE GOOD EVENING RANCH 3 TIMES IN THE SUMMER 2 TIMES TO SEE ALL THE ANIMALS AND ONCE TO SEE MOTOCROSS  RACING. TYLER LOVED EVERYTHING YOU TOOK HIM TO DO AS LONG AS IT WAS OUTSIDE. ME, TYLER AND MICAH NEVER MISSED A DAY THIS SUMMER OF BEING OUTSIDE EITHER SWIMMING, PLAYING BASEBALL, OR PLAYING TYLERS' FAVORITE THING FOOTBALL. TY HAD 2 HELMETS, 2 SHOULDER PADS, AND A WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS AND A PITTSBURGH STEELERS UNIFORM. HE WAS USUALLY A MOUNTAINEER (PAT WHITE) AND I WAS ALWAYS A STEELER. TYLER WAS HONESTLY TOUGHER THAN I WAS HE COULD REALLY TACKLE ME. HE ALWAYS MADE ME WEAR A HELMET. OUR BATHROOM WAS HIS LOCKER ROOM. HE WOULD GO IN THERE AND SCREAM AND TALK TO HISSELF. HE ALWAYS SAID HE WAS GETTING READY FOR  THE GAME. I WASN'T ALOUD TO TAKE TIMEOUTS BUT HE WAS ANYTIME HE NEEDED ONE. TYLERS DREAMS WERE TO BE A MOUNTAINEER AND THEN TO BE A STEELER. BUT, TYLER ALSO WANTED TO DRIVE A RACE CAR, BE IN THE RODEO, AND DRIVE A COAL TRUCK SOMEDAY. TY LOVED LIFE SO MUCH AND LIVED EVERY DAY TO IT'S FULLEST. NEVER FORGETTING TO SAY HOW MUCH HE LOVED US AND  THE TRUTH IS HE DID NOT HAVE TO SAY IT BECAUSE IT SHOWED IN EVERYTHING THAT TY SAID AND DID.
THE TOP TWO PICTURES WERE TAKEN AT STEVENS LAKE IN MAY OF 2006. MAMAW TERESA, TY, SKYLAR, AND CORDELL WENT FISHING AT THE LAKE AND PACKED A PICNIC. THE KIDS ALWAYS LOOKED FORWARD TO MAMAW TERESA TAKING THEM ON FIELD TRIPS AS THEY CALLED THEM. IF YOU NOTICE TY IN THE TOP RIGHT PICTURE HE WAS MAKING SOME SORT OF A FACE. IN THE LAST YEAR TYLER WAS ALWAYS MAKING SILLY FACES OR DOING SOMETHING SILLY IN ALL THE PICTURES WE HAVE TAKEN. THE BOTTOM PICTURE IS TY, SKY, CORDELL, AND SHEA AT MAMAW AND PAPAW SHEA'S HOUSE. THEY LOVED TO RIDE THOSE POWER WHEELS AND TY LOVED TO POP WHEELIES ON TRAVIS THATS WHAT THEY ALWAYS CALLED THE JOHN DEERE THAT TY AND SHEA ARE RIDING ON IN THE PICTURE. MY SON WAS BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE AND SO SUDDENLY TAKIN. IT ONLY GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT AT ANYTIME YOUNG OR OLD TOMARROW MAY NOT COME. SO MY ADVISE TO EACH AND EVERYONE WHO CROSSES THIS SITE IS TO CHERISH TODAY WITH YOUR CHILDREN, MAKE SURE THAT YOU HUG THEM A LITTLE TIGHTER AND KISS THEM A LITTLE LONGER BECAUSE IT COULD BE THE LAST TIME YOU EVER TOUCH THEM. MY HEART ACHES DAILY FOR MY LITTLE MAN, TY WAS MY LIFE. WITHOUT HIM SOMETIMES LIFE DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE A MEANING BUT, MY LIFE MUST GO ON IF NOT FOR ME FOR MICAH. MICAH AND TERRY  ARE VERY LUCKY SIMPLY BECAUSE ON AUGUST THE 31ST 2006 THEY COULD HAVE ALSO BEEN TAKEN FROM US. REMEMBER THAT TODAY IS A GIFT AND TOMARROW IS NOT GUARANTEED. TYLER WOULD WANT OUR LIVES TO GO ON EVEN THOUGH EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE IS A STRUGGLE AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE A STRUGGLE I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT MY LITTLE BOY TYLER LEE EVANS KNEW THAT I LOVED HIM BECAUSE I SHOWED HIM EVERY SINGLE DAY IN SO MANY LOVING WAYS THAT HE WAS MY SPECIAL AND AMAZING SUN SHINE BEAR  .	THE TOP PICTURE IS TYLER ON NOV. 13TH 2005 IN MORGANTOWN. ME, TY AND DAD WENT. THE BOTTOM PICTURE IS TYLER IN HIS WVU UNIFORM UPSIDE DOWN ON THE COUCH WITH A BROKEN ARM. AFTER TY GOT HIS REAL GREEN CAST ON HE USED IT AS A TACKLING WEAPON. HE WOULD HIT ME AND TERRY WITH IT TO MAKE A GOOD TACKLE. THE BROKEN ARM NEVER SLOWED HIS FOOTBALL GAME DOWN ANY AT ALL. NOTHING EVER SLOWED TYLER DOWN HE WAS THE ENERGIZER BUNNY. THATS WHY WE LOVED HIM SO MUCH HE WAS THE LIFE OF THE PARTY. TY WAS THE ONE WHO HELD OUR FAMILY TOGETHER HE WAS HONESTLY THE ROCK IN OUR LIFE. BY THE ROCK I MEAN HE WAS OUR STABILITY. TY WAS THE ONE WHO'S HEART WAS SO UNIQUE AND UNDERSTANDING HE NEVER LOOKED DOWN  ON US HE ALWAYS LOOKED FOR THE GOOD IN US. AND HE ALWAYS WORE HIS HEART ON HIS SLEEVE NEVER LEAVING ANY QUESTION ABOUT HIS LOVE FOR US. TYLER WAS THE HEART AND SOUL OF OUR FAMILY. HE WAS ONE OF A KIND. AND I AM SO PROUD THAT HE WAS OURS FOR 4 SHORT BUT AMAZING YEARS.
TY AND CORDELL TAKING A WAGON RIDE OOPS WERES THE HORSE THEY FORGOT TO GET ONE. TY AND NICK OR SHOULD I SAY DALE AND JEFF. AND TY'S FAVORITE DIRT RACE CAR DRIVER JEREMY PECK OR AS HE ALWAYS SAID JP WONDER WHO THOUGHT HIM THAT REBBA?	TYLER ON DORITO AT LAVON AND JOHNNY'S BARE BACK RIDING HIS BEST FRIEND DORITO. WE PURCHASED DORITO FOR $600 WHEN TYLER WAS 2 YEARS OLD TODAY TO OUR FAMILY DORITO IS WORTH MILLIONS. DORITO WILL REMAIN PART OF OUR FAMILY FOREVER. AND THE BOTTOM PICTURE IS TY RIDIND DORITO BY HIMSELF BEING A LITTLE SILLY WHICH HE OFTEN DID. LET'S HOPE SIMON POWELL DOESN'T SEE HIS OUTFIT WE WILL BE IN TROUBLE THEN. T-SHIRT, UNDERWEAR AND SHOES RIDING A HORSE YEP THAT WOULD BE TYLER.
TYLER AND YOU GUESSED IT DORITO ON THE 4TH OF JULY 2005 WHAT A DAY HE WAS SO PROUD OF HISSELF WE TOOK HIM AND DORITO TO ALDERSON FOR THE PARADE. WE FANCIED DORITO UP WITH HAIR BOWS AND ALL. TY WAS SO PROUD AND SO WERE WE.	TYLER AND TERRY DURING THE PARADE WE HAD TO HAVE DORITO THERE AT 10AM THE PARADE TOOK OFF AT 12:30 TERRY WALKED THE FIRST HALF AND I WALKED THE SECOND HALF WE WERE WORE OUT BUT TYLER LOVED IT AND THAT MADE IT ALL WORTH WHILE. AGAIN TY IS MAKING A FASHION STATEMENT SHORTS AND COWBOY BOOTS. HE LOVED HIS COWBOY BOOTS HE BOUGHT HIS FIRST PAIR WHEN HE WAS ONE AND HAD A PAIR EVER SINCE.
What an amazing thing one of Tyler's heros has done for our son. Rick Lucas driver of the 12L late model has dedicated his car to the memory of Tyler. How proud Tyler must be to see this he thought so much of Rick and racing. To Tyler Rick is truly a hero and a friend. Our family would like to think Rick for all he has did for Tyler and our family and for making Tyler part of his car but, most of all for allowing Tyler to be part of his life.	Look at Micah he's taking after big brother Tyler and his love and passion for dirt track racing and for Rick. Rick has did great thing for our family and most of all for Tyler. The car reads "THIS CARS COLORS AND DESIGN IS DEDICATED TO OUR BIGGEST FAN WHOSE LIFE WAS TAKEN BY A DRUNK DRIVER , A PICTURE OF TYLER, TYLER LEE EVANS 11-02-01 TO 08-31-06 AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH RICK FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR US.                               MARSHA, TERRY, AND MICAH EVANS
