throughout his life, I have always felt so lucky to be HIS mom. That HE was the child I was blessed to have, watch grow, persevere through adversity, and develop into the beautiful man he was.
The memory I would like to share at this moment is how Tyler had invited me to move out here from Chicago and stay with him until I got settled. Just last October of 2021 he did that, so that we could be in closer proximity to each other, and I believe, for me to share in and see all that he was experiencing in CA. He has been so happy and successful in his life here, having been here just a year prior to his invitation to me himself.
So, January 2022, my 12 year old dog Theo and I drove to California, with much encouragement, support and faith, and moved in with Tyler, which, was for what we both thought would be a very temporary time, to get settled and get my own place. What 31 year old single man with a full life of his own offers such a thing???
Tyler and I have been very close and he had wanted me to experience the positivity he had living in California. It had been his dream for many years, loving the music industry as he did, to come here. He encouraged me to make my dreams come true out here too.
It has been the joy of my life to spend these last 14 months with Tyler. to see him accomplish all he has. To be as well thought of as he has. To be as happy and positive as I have ever seen him.
We had gone to lunch 2 days before he started his most recent and last work prior to his death, with Insomniac at the Exposition Park in Los Angeles. He was speaking again of all the projects he had coming up with a variety of work scheduled for the summer and heading into fall. He was SO excited about all of them. We looked at each other and I said to him as I often did “I am so proud of you and what you have accomplished in your life, making your dreams come true. I am so happy to be out here with you honey!” And he said to me ” I am proud of you Mom and happy you are here too” with his smile.
God knows the number of days we each have on earth. I have been blessed beyond measure to be here in California these last 14 months with my one and only child, seeing him so happy and passionate with his love for the music industry, his connections, friends and mentors he has been blessed to connect with. He would talk with me all the time about what he was doing, what he was looking forward to and the impact all of you have had on him. I am thankful to each and every one of you for the impact you have made on Tyler’s life.
Let us everyone remember Tyler’s heart and passion, for the life he created and loved and each make the most of the time we have here on earth. He is still with us in spirit and I am forever blessed and thankful for the time God has given Tyler and I together.
-Cheri Keenan (Tyler’s Mom)
