Please keep Tyler Hall in your thoughts and prayers, as well as the rest of his family, as they deal with the unimaginable tragedy that took Tyler's father's life yesterday in a plane incident. They were both passionate pilots. Tyler survived the crash, but sadly his father did not. Many have taken his kayaking class over the past summers, and we are all saddened by the news. Please hold one another tight tonight.
