I met Tyler during my junior year at MSU and from the first time I talked to him, I could tell that he was a good guy to know. I wouldn't consider myself sheltered, but when I talk to Tyler I feel like I haven't experienced a fraction of the things that life has to offer, and that's probably my favorite thing about him: he's done things that I've neither done nor thought about doing before I met him.
One of the funniest memories I have with Tyler is when he and his friend Ben visited MSU one weekend. While they were over we started to play beer pong against my roommate Brett and I and for one of the games, they decided to make a wager. That wager was that the loser had to streak around the apartment complex..him and Ben lost the wager. So Tyler stripped down immediately and did a full lap around our apartment...I laughed my ass off and gained mad respect for the kid at the same time because if you can trust someone to stick by their word for that, you can trust them with pretty much anything.
Cheers to you Tyler, you crazy son of a bitch.
