Today was the memorial service for a local hero. His name is Teyran Patterson and he is the son of friends of ours. Ty served as a game warden and though I did not know him personally, I wanted to post a tribute to a young man whom the community loves so much. The Patterson family and local officials expected about 1000 people to attend the service, standing room only at our coliseum. It is a statement of what Ty meant to Seguin and to his colleagues in law enforcement.
Update June 5th: the local paper today states that about 2100 people attended Ty's memorial service.

Ty was a friend, a brother, a true image of what a hero should be. You will be missed Ty, but never forgotten. I have so many memories from Little League to High School, to your smile and your laugh. God now has an amazing angel next to him and I will always see and hear you in my prayers. Till we meet again, your friend, Valdo D. III
Thank you for your visit and tribute to Ty, Valdo.
Very touching. This is a nice photo tribute.
I read that he saved a friend from drowning before drowning himself, Thien. He earned his hero status, that's for sure.
Yes, Annie, it was his partner and friend.
