Tyler Edward Parten

West Point, 2007

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by 1LT JB Kelly on September 15, 2009:

I am so sorry for your loss. Tyler was a great person and a great friend. I didn't really know him too well when we were classmates, but we got to know each other a little bit when we were both in colorado springs prior to the deployment. I saw Tyler frequently, as I was roommates with Erik Edstrom and back in colorado, those two were inseperable.

When I think about Tyler, I don't remember a specific time we were together, or a funny story that we were both a part of. I just remember his constantly positive attitude. I don't think I ever witnessed Tyler getting upset or angry. He did everything with a level of class and respect for others that made even just spending a few hours on a saturday afternoon with Tyler a memorable life experience. I will always cherish those moments I spent with Tyler.
