Tyler will always be known as an inspiration of courage and strength to his family, friends and community. His father said, "It was as if his strength and courage grew faster than his cancer." He is remembered as a loving and giving person who thought of others before himself — even while he was going through a 10-month battle with cancer that ultimately took his life at the age of 14. He loved football, baseball, hunting and fishing. His wishes were to one day find a cure so no other children have to experience what he endured.

"When donations are made to The Cure Starts Now in Tyler’s name, it reminds us that his life, his brave battle, and the impact he made are not forgotten. Tyler once said he wanted to make sure no child would ever have to endure what he went through. Every dollar given honors the children we’ve lost and supports those still fighting today. Together, we can carry Tyler’s legacy forward and bring the world closer to a cure.” – The Wirth Family
