Tyler was, as his art school friends described him, "ORIGINAL AT ALL COSTS". Tyler can only be described as a unique, special individual who marched to the beat of a different drum. If you knew him, you know what I mean. He was spontaneous, adventurous, sporadic, headstrong, persistent, opinionated, and independent. He was also inspirational, kind, helpful, forgiving, un-materialistic, loving, and had a sense of humor that can only be described as wonderful and unique. He had really hit his stride at art school and was doing well. In the short time he was at the Art Institute of Colorado he made many friends, something he always did well.
An art scholarship has been setup in Tyler's name, at the Tyler E. Jones Art Scholarship Fund GoFundMe.
