An Enthusiastic Life That Continues to Inspire
“Strange, isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. When he isn’t around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?” – Clarence the Angel, It’s a Wonderful Life
As he got older, playing basketball, baseball, football, and wrestling became his passions. Tyler loved being part of a team. He showed good sportsmanship, was always there for his teammates, and couldn’t wait to get to practice.
The Tyler Richards Memorial Scholarship Fund and Tyler Richards Memorial Sportsmanship Award help pay tribute to the kindness, importance of friends, and love of life that Tyler shared with everyone he met.
