Tyler was as full of life as any person could possibly be. His passion for motocross was larger than anyone I know and continuously inspires me.
I grew up with Tyler And know first hand - everyone that Tyler came into contact with loved him and his mischivious smile. We took many trips to great wolf lodge with him and his family there wasn't one time that he did not get my dad to go on the water slides with him. Tyler's love for little kids was also so inspiring, he loved his little sister Alyssa more than anything. Tyler would be the first one to drop what he was doing to play with my 4 year old sisters a well. Him not being at the track to wish us good luck before our race will never be the same but his legacy will live forever on.
I love you Ty Hailey

I work at Goodwood Public School and have many stories of my times with Tyler. I always looked forward to lunch times at school. As soon as Tyler heard me he would run out of his classroom with something to tell me or show me something he had tucked away in his backpack. The last thing he had to show me were his standings in the races along with another of his friends. I remember telling him how awesome he was and giving him a high five. His teacher would always say " Tyler get back in here. You never asked to leave". He would just shrug his shoulders and say " I will be right there, it will only take a minute". Needless to say she just gave up and let him talk to me. The last 2 weeks of school were extremely hard because as I walked down the! hall my heart would drop knowing he wouldn't be coming to see me. One of the people I worked with always said that Tyler had me right under his thumb. How right she was and how glad I am that he did. Those memories will always be special to me. A spark went out on June 14th which will never be rekindled by another. I will miss Tyler forever but will always be thankful for knowing such a special boy. He brightened many a day for me.

I have had the pleasure of getting to know and be friends with Tyler and his family since moving to Uxbridge directly across the road from their house.
Tyler was a sweet, gentle soul...and I ALWAYS looked forward to his visits to see me and my cat Kobie. I live in the basement apt of my Brothers home, he would visit my Brother Steve, and then say "can you text Sherry and tell her I want to come down for a visit"
I'd respond with an all caps YES send him down!!! Not seconds later a wee knock at my door. I was always greeted with the warmest hugs, and he'd ask "how are you doing?" He would sit on the couch, ask me what's new and look around my apt and say "so what's new, have you done or changed anything". Making me smile the entire time. Telling me how school is, his racing and riding. The politest little man I've ever met. You couldn't help but smile as his own infectious smile grew upon his face!! He was a genuine, kind and thoughtful young boy. As I share this little story, I sit with a smile across my face...remembering all the visits we shared. When the visit was over, he'd stand and say "nice to see you, I hope you have a great week" See you again soon.

A young boy always eager to help anyone, his artistic abilities were awesome. I loved his close bond with his little sister Alyssa, as it reminded me so much of the relationship my Brother and I still share.

Ride in Peace Tyler Massey!!
