Thanks everyone. His wake will be Sunday and funeral on Monday.

My friend was placed in the position of having to decide on discontinuation of life support. But, she left for a moment to check her phone messages first. An out-of-state distant cousin she hadn't seen in ages happened to be vacationing in the area and wanted to see him first.

Tyler was still on life-support when she returned to his room, but his blood pressure started to drop. He died on his own. She said after all the tubes were removed, he looked like he had a smirk on his face - the same smirk he used to have whenever he had the chance to help out his big sister. I'm thankful she didn't have to make that decision.

I'm gonna miss my fellow "wild heart."
