James Hardy Obituary
JAMES TYLER HARDY
October 21, 2000 September 9, 2019
Tyler Hardy was truly loved by so many. He was born with what his grandmother would call, a fire in his belly.
Everyone who knows Tyler describes him as one of the most unique and enigmatic young men they have ever known. He never failed to make an instant impression and was impossible to ignore.
He was determined and headstrong from the very beginning, and he was honing those qualities to become a successful and beautiful man.
Tyler was so very dear to his family and friends. He loved to laugh and to make others laugh, and stayed true to himself throughout.
His family cannot express their sadness at his untimely and unexpected loss, but they can attest to their love and appreciation for the time they had, and the memories they shared.
A celebration of Tyler's life will be held on Saturday, September 14 at 1 p.m. at Austin Bluffs Community Church.
In lieu of flowers, Tyler's family is requesting donations to the Tyler Hardy Memorial Foundation, to support victim advocacy, to honor Tyler's legacy.

Me and Tyler would spend hours upon hours together. No more than family but no less than family. He was my bestfriend. Someone that cared and understood. I miss Tyler everyday. I think of him in almost every action I take. I still message his old accounts hoping for a reply. Hoping that I can just hear that goofy laugh just one more time. I am honored to have known and been close with such a uniquely amazing person. Ty´s loyalty and accountability was unmatched. Ms. Liz my condolences are always out to you. You raised a lion. A young man that was destined for greatness, something we all saw in him.
Love Andrew

I am truly sorry, With Deepest Sympathy

Tyler was such an awesome kid! A devotion for his brothers that I haven't seen in a long long time! Always polite and often shy when he came by the house. Respectful to all of our neighbors! His love for basketball was always seen and respected. He will surely be missed and never forgotten!!

Liz, I am so sorry for your loss..it seems like yesterday we sat in the bleachers at middle school graduation so proud of those kids! We never failed to catch up on the boys when I came to the bank. So much love I send you today as you grieve. We'll meet again and talk about them another time, he will never be out of your life.
Sincerely, Diane
