I've dedicated a song to Tyler. Your Guardian Angel by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
This is Tyler Matthew
Taulbee. He passed away on February 14, 2009. He has been one of my best friends since 4
th grade. He has always been there for me. No matter what situation it might be. Tyler sat next to me in band and would always sing "Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen" to me. I remember how in band we named our saxophones. On the back of our music he would always write "LEXI IS MY BEST FRIEND!" We also went around stealing all the pencils on the floor. We kept them in our band folder. I have so many more stories to say about him. But it'd take quite awhile to explain them. He was in my first 4 periods with me. We also sat at the same lunch table.
Every time we would see
each other in the hallways we'd always run up to
each other and hug
each other so tight. I just don't understand why he had to go. On Friday, the day before he passed away, I was talking to him on yahoo messenger. His last words to me were "When I see you when you come home, I'm going to give you the biggest hug EVER. I promise!" Recently, when I had visited home, I went to his viewing and his funeral and it just tore me apart. It didn't look like him at all. It was not the same Tyler I remembered. With the help of all of my friends we all worked through it together. Everyone was hugging
each other, and crying together, and laughing about the memories. Tyler always had a smile on his face. He had the most incredible laugh. It made everyone else around him laugh with him. He had such an impact on
every one's life. Even if he did not know the person. Tyler told me absolutely EVERYTHING! And it was mutual. Tyler didn't have a perfect life. He had a lot of
struggles. And one thing Tyler taught me is, no matter what you're going through in life, there's always some reason to put a smile on your face. Rest in peace Tyler. You'll never be forgotten. I promise. I love you best friend. Save a pair of wings for me in heaven.
