| The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona November 2005 Tyler Marshall Shaw was born in Prescott, Arizona, on July 29, 1986, and entered into the presence of God at 1:15 p.m. Nov. 25, 2005. Tyler is the son of Jay and Laurette Shaw of Asotin, Wash. Tyler had a kind heart and an adventurous spirit. Whatever he did, he did it with his whole heart. His love for the outdoors included hunting, fishing, swimming in the river, and snowboarding in the winter. He enjoyed the freedom of riding his new road bike. Tyler has always liked a challenge. He was the kind of person who went for the gusto, never doing things halfway - unless it involved doing mundane things like chores - but to the amazement of everyone he would get it done, even if it wasn't him doing it. Tyler could connect with people on a very personal level, and in the times of his greatest personal suffering he would reach out and help those around him. As Tyier's oldest sister, my memories of him start from the moment he came home. What a joy he was as an addition to us three girls. My Dad finally had his boy; the Shaw name would carry on. At the age of 2 Tyier's "all-or-noth-ing attitude" was apparent. I can remember going to the swimming pool that summer and without fail, every time we got there Tyler would jump into the deep end, even though he couldn't swim. He would look up at us as he floated to the bottom of the pool, push his little feet off the bottom and bob back to the surface. Never once afraid, pushing the limits but always having faith. He lived his whole life that way. I am thankful for every moment I had with my little brother and I will miss him terribly. All I can do now is trust like he did. -Tami Tyler made me laugh and he was always full of surprises. Growing up as the only boy with three older sisters was an adventure for him, and for us. I remember him wanting to hang out with us and be like us, but he was all boy, even when we tried to dress him up. My favorite memories with Tyler were on the river, snowboarding at Blue Mountain, and wrestling, until he could beat me, and then I didn't want to wrestle any more. He always wanted to be a good kid; he wanted to be like Jesus. He was an incredibly hard worker (when it wasn't working for my dad). He loved children, he loved his family, he loved to annoy me and give me "presents." I miss you and I'm thankful all your questions about life are answered. I love you, Tyler. - Laura Being 17 months apart, lyier and I were best friends and worst enemies. We did everything together growing up, from bike riding, to playing in the river, to fighting over the remote. Because we are from such a small town we shared a lot of the same friends. At times it was difficult, but in the end we loved every minute we had together. We were the neighborhood "gang." Tyier was such a go-getter; he wanted to live every minute to the fullest, and he wanted to get everything he could out of life. I am truly blessed to be able to have had a brother like I did. He touched my heart and mind in ways I will never be able to forget. This last year Tyler and I have spent a lot of time together, getting closer than we had ever been before. Throughout his struggles I always trusted in him; I knew he could pull through this. He had such a strong faith that sometimes people were put off by his words. But all he was doing was trying to get people to love and know God the way he did. He loved God with all his heart, and the only thing that is keeping me together is knowing that he is where he wanted to be. He is happy, he's not being judged, and he is in Heaven fishing with his grandpas. I miss you soooo much and I want you to know how much you were loved. Goodbye for now, I love you, little brother. - Monica Tyler was diagnosed in January this year as being Bipolar...he struggled, but his faith in the Lord helped him through. Tyler is survived by his mother and father, his sisters Tami Shaw of Asotin, Wash., Laura Shaw of Bellingham, Wash. and Monica Shaw of Asotin. He will be greatly missed by his grandparents, Janet and Gerry Scheeike of Asotin, Wash. and Laura Ingram of Clarkston, Wash. and his many uncles, aunts, cousins, friends, and extended family. He was preceded in death by his grandpas Gene Shaw and Jack Van Pelt and his cousin Brittany Shaw. We are heartbroken that Tyier is no longer with us. We will miss his sideways smile, his loving heart, his gung ho attitude of life. We love you for always, Tyler Marshall. We know you are in Peace with Jesus. We are happy you no longer have to suffer in this world and your mind is finally quiet. But we're sad and it hurts that you are gone. A Memorial Service was held on Dec. 1 in Clarkston, Wash. The family would like to invite friends and family to a Celebration of the Life of Tyler at 10 a.m. Saturday, March 18, at Word of Life Church, 2200 N. Highway 89, Prescott, Arizona.
