We will miss your bright smile, but your memories we will cherish always!
... UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, TYLER ...
Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well.Nothing is past; nothing is lost
All is well.Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Tyler Carlston loved people. He had many friends. He was easy to get to know because he was so easy to talk too. When people meet him they would tell him thier life story with-in minutes. The Crazy thing is he listened and was interested. He always found something in common whit everyone he meet. He made people feel loved and important.
What could be more important in life than making people feel loved?
I always enjoyed being in Tylers company. He was always entertaining and enthusiastic about life. When you spent time with Tyler you had a smile on your face.
I will cherish my memories with Tyler. His spirit of friendship will have an eternal impact on my life.

Two Roads diverged in a Yellow Wood ....
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there,
Had worn them really about the same
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference !
-- Robert Frost (1874–1963)
The above poem made me think about big and little decisions... and my having to choose always just one of two roads, ...how the gift of choosing has blessed my life.
How many times in life we think, "Did I take the right path?", "Did I make a right choice?" "Where is my road leading me to?" "Will I be happy with decisions I make?"
Today we reflect on life...life lived to an "nth" degree...a life full of experience, because of the life and the passing of Tyler Carlston.
It has been said "to know a man...one must look into his heart".. and today more than ever, we know his heart... it was so very immense...yes, I know Tyler.
Tyler...a man who was fearless in choosing of the two roads... making it his way... and that for him made all the difference!
Greet us when we arrive, dear Brother Ty!...for we shall meet you at the divergence of two roads, and will need you to guide us home!
We shall always love you and never forget...feeling your energy and presence in our memories of you always loving life! D.
It is with such a heavy and saddened heart that I am writing this message about Tyler.
Oh Tyler, such a goof...always cracking a joke about someone or himself. Always wanting to put smiles on peoples faces. Live life, have fun, no worries....these are the things that I will remember about Tyler. Idolizing his family, proud of their accomplishments. Through all the ups and downs, Tyler's heart remained, unquestionablly full of love and his loyalty undeniable.
It is with hope that his daughters will one day know the impact that their father had on so many peoples lives and how greatly he will be missed.
All my love and prayers to the Carlston family...

Miss and love you, hang in there!

Tyler was so kind and loving. His desire to help others was so great. He often put others way ahead of himself. Working with troubled teens or building sweat lodges for others, Tyler's desire to help others was always evident.
I loved him very much. He was always warm with a hug and he was not afraid to tell me that he loved me. I am really going to miss him and I'm so sad we didn't see each other or speak this last year but we let each other know how we felt and that we wanted the best for each other. I know he has had a hard road the the past few years, His pain is now over but I will miss him so much!

Our family will miss Tyler. We were privileged to have him as part of our lives. I will miss his warm smile, enthusiasm for life and the way he made you feel so special and you can't forget his BIG HUGS. Tyler is in God's arms now and those of his family that preceded him. Tyler will contiune to bless our lives in our hearts and those of many other. He will be that guardian angel watching over the lost and lonely. He will be that voice guiding them back home. On behalf of the Greg and Peggy Briggs family we want the Carlston's to know how much we love them and cherish them in our lives through joy and sorrow. As Tyler would say:"Be pure in heart brother!" Tyler was.
Sometimes in life, You find a special friend: someone who changes your life just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh until you can’t stop, someone that makes you believe that there really is good in this world. Someone who convinces you that there is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. Sometimes we are lucky enough to meet a person who stands out among all the other people. Someone who listens to what you have to say, no matter how unimportant, someone who listens without judging and when we find this friendship we must hold it in our hearts and never let it go…
The first time I met Tyler he came walking over, no let me rephrase that strutting over with his contagious smile and with one look into his eyes I knew he was an angel. There was something so different about this man. He was a man who had so much love and wisdom to share. Tyler listened to everything, not just when people spoke beyond that, He shared, he didn’t want to keep the knowledge he had learned to himself. Tyler absorbed the energy around him and He was so connected to life that just being in his presence I truly felt alive for the first time. Tyler spoke to me about things that I never imagined he gave me a different way of looking at life and made me realize that things are not always in black and white. He was a great friend who shared my tears and my laughter, he always seemed to put a smile on my face. I am so heart broken without him. Tyler is my definition of living life and I will let him shine in me. Tyler I Love you and will miss you everyday…
Love Always,
Becky
People are people as insugnificant as that sounds at the time it was said to me it was so profound. In my life I've heard a lot seen a lot and it was very rare to meet someone with stories that would awe me. But Tyler had plenty. So when he said to me people are people I began to think here's a guy who has met so many different walks of life, is so educated in human nature and through all his experiences he comes up with three words "People are People". As it turns out those three simple words have helped me out tremendously rather than taking everything personally and racking my brain to figure out why people do what they do I tell myself people are people. Since there are so many different varibles that influence a persons behvior we can almost indefinitely never know why people do what they do. Tyler said a lot of things to me that have stuck. I could go on for a very long time about it. He has been such a huge impact on my life. He was someone I trusted for advice and for me that was huge and rare. What an amazing person, blessed are those who had the opportunity to know him. Tyler once said to me let me be your big brother being that I never had one. I,m honored to have a big brother such as Tyler.
