A few years ago, Ty and a few of us from Huntsville Hospital went to a restaurant that had trivia night. Our team was call Twin Rockets. By the time we left there, we felt so dumb, but we had a BLAST!! That’s one of the best memories I have of Ty.

Dear family, we are deeply saddened to hear this news. It was always a joy to see Ty come into the shop especially for Hot Rod (our dog) cause he always brought him some treats. Please don’t hesitate to let us know if we can help in anyway. Sending our love and prayers.

Ty was always one of my favorite people to see at work. He was always so sweet, in the happiest of moods and always there to cheer you up if you needed it. He will be greatly missed! His bear hugs could change your day in a heartbeat! Praying for all of you!

I feel like Ty never had a bad day. He always had a smile on his face in the halls of Huntsville Hospital. He was the same every time I saw him. He was so pleasant to know.
I’m so sorry, to all of his family and friends!
