To The Cooney Family I’m very shocked to hear of Tylers passing. He was a great kid and I like doing business with him. I just found out about his death today and very upset. I’ve been calling Gander Mountain only to be told he wasn’t there. They didn’t have the decency to even explain his absence.

My Sincere Prayers go out to the family! May Tyler Rest In Peace
It saddened me to learn about Tyler’s passing. He was a great kid and will certainly be missed by all who knew him. I met him at Edinboro Outdoor Sports and frequently saw him at Gander Mountain..he was very knowledgeable about the outdoors and shooting sports. I will miss his advise and his great sense of humor. Going to Gander won’t be the same knowing he won’t be there to share a story or two. My thoughts and prayer to his parents and family. May you rest on peace my young friend!
I’m deeply sorry to hear about the loss of Tyler. When we go through such a tragedy it’s hard to imagine we can be comforted. Take to heart that God knows your innermost thoughts and grief. He will help you and fortify you and take you by His right hand of righteousness (Isaiah 41:10).
Dear Karen and Family, Karen this is your cousin Jim – I have no words except to let you all know that I (we) are praying for our dear Lord to wrap His arms around you all right now… Romans 8: 36-39 Love & Peace

I had the chance to work with Ty at Gander years ago. I also had the chance to hunt with him on a few occasions. I always looked for him when I went up to gander for something. He was always quick to share a story or ask how things were going in my life. I will miss him. My prayers to Ty’s family.
