“When I look at this picture it’s a person who’s back is turned but I know who he is because the group he is talking to is all smiling! Kyle, Dre and JD all are in a joyous mood talking to Tyler Edwards,” Tyler’s friend Greg Burks wrote.
“Tyler was one of those types of people who always had infectious positive energy. When Tyler was interviewing for the coaching job at Comstock he let me know. He asked my opinion and what I thought it would entail of being a high school head coach. Coming from the college ranks as an assistant would be different… I’m glad to have been one of the many to know you. Tye, you will be missed lil bro! You are one of the good ones! Be sure to tell my pops when you get up there you was my guy.”
