I was a former classmate of Tyriq's at J. Davis Middle...I was so shocked to hear of this terrible tragedy. I knew him well enough to call him a "Loyal and Fierce Friend". I was always a lil' smaller and perhaps even a bit withdrawn, but I could always count on Tyriq to make me smile or laugh especially on those more diificult days. He was "NEAR & DEAR"~ to my Heart!! I suppose my only regret was not being 'REAL' with him when I had the chance...meaning I KNOW if I had the the opportunity right now I would want to say'Thank U Tyriq for always being there..if only to brighten my day by making me smile just by Thinking of Your Beautiful SMILE!! If I could turn back time I may have chose ED White instead of Forrest just to have the HONOR of your friendship even if for only a little while longer!... I was so SORRY and completely Devastated to learn (too late, I'm Sorry to say...) that your time here with your FAMILY and Friends was so abruptly interrupted. I know this is a terrible cleche'...but, "Why DO Bad things Happen to Such Good People!?"and most of all "UNDESERVING PEOPLE".....MISTAKES ARE MADE EVERY DAY BY EVERYONE....I just wish Tyriq hadn't been the one whom ALL the JUDGEMENT seemed to land on his shoulders that day....Like I said...Undeserving!!! However, to the family of Tyriq..I never got the chance to meet you but your son Tyriq as u know was ...(well, Tyriq)...but those who never got a chance to see that incredibly softer side of him missed out on getting to know a very, very ADORING, Admirable,
but more than anything he was about as "Close to A Perfect Friend" that I or anyone who Really knew him will ever have the Pleasure of finding a more special and loyal Friend!!
TYRIQ~YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY THOUGHTS AND ESPECIALLY MY PRAYERS!!!!
TO Tyriq's Family...I'm very sorry for your loss and please know that you TOO are in MINE and my families prayers as well!!!
Tyriq will be DEARLY MISSED BY MANY!!!
P.S Im sure he is protected in the arms of OUR HEAVENLY FATHER even now AT THIS VERY MOMENT AND YOU, HIS FAMILY are especially in OUR LORDS PROTECTIVE GRASP!!!
With Love and Sincerity,
Ashlyn L. & Family
