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 again on September 21st, 2009. 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.
