Words just can't express my shock when I saw this about Tye. He was one tough guy that I had respect for. I did wrestle with him briefly at MacArtur High School, in the 1980s. He pinned me in practice. He was really good at that. I feel sadness for the family, even though I was not one of his friends in our adult lives. One of my brothers died in 2020, so I certainly have empathy for your loss folks. There was one time after High School years, I was driving down a street in Decatur and Tye was hitchhiking and so I picked him up and took him to his destination. We had a cordial discussion about life stuff, just can't remember the topics. Also, Sometime last week I had a thought pop in my mind about wondering whatever happened to Tye, what he may be doing etc. Rowan family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for ya. Tye, me and Todd Robinson went to Kindergarten together at Enterprise. Fond memories of boyhood stuff.
-God Bless
RIP Tye
