Skyler Castillo, a graduate of the New York Institute of Art and Design, remembered the time she spent with Tyler.
Ten years ago I was asking when you were going to return him, ten years later I’m asking you to take him. How things have changed. Now I cant message you at all and see if you want time with him. Watching you two rekindle the bond you guys had was a blessing and I’m glad we made it happen before it was to late. You two didn’t miss a beat like no time had gone by since you had been close. You two had big plans this spring and it breaks my heart you’re not here to do them together. You will forever be missed Tyler Pease thank you for loving my husband as a brother.
