We lost a loved one this week.
After many years struggling with mental illness, Tyler chose to end his own life.
A gentle man who loved nature and tried to never hurt anyone or anything. A man who despite being a graduate of a prestigious Ivy League university, chose to work at an animal shelter and at a cooperative farm. A tireless advocate for food security for the poor.
Tyler has finally found the peace he could not find in life. We love and miss you Tyler.

others. Makes it tough for those with sensitive souls.
May Tyler RIP.

(34,104 posts)he sounds like a wonderful human. I am so sorry. I hope he is now free of all bad feelings and if there is an afterlife he can feel reward for all the good things he did for others.
I truly am sorry. He sounds like a gem.

He chose a selfless life of helping others which makes him a giant among most of us. I am very sorry for your loss, Scuba. I hope that he has found peace, and that you and your family will as well.
