September is over, and so is Su***de Awareness Month—but our conversations about su***de prevention do not end.

For us, this is personal. Losing Tyler to su***de changed our lives forever, and keeping his memory alive means continuing to speak up, raise awareness, and remind others that they are never alone in their struggles.

We are gearing up for our 2027 Ice Fishing Event, continuing the mission that means so much to our family: honoring Tyler’s memory while supporting our veterans, our friends, our families, and anyone walking their own difficult journey.

This work doesn’t belong to just one month.
The conversations don’t stop on September 30th.
And neither does our commitment.

We will keep showing up.
We will keep talking.
We will keep remembering.
And we will keep working to make a difference—one conversation, one person, one life at a time.

Thank you to everyone who has stood beside us, shared our message, supported our events, and helped us carry Tyler’s memory forward.

September may be over. Our mission continues. 💜🎣

💜 Today is the last day of Su***de Prevention Month.
Our commitment to prevention doesn’t.
So when Su***de Prevention Month ends, conversations don't.
For those of us who have lost someone to su***de, every month is Su***de Prevention Month. Every day is a reminder of the life that mattered, the love that remains, and the conversations we wish we could have had.

Keep talking about su***de.
Keep saying their name.
Keep sharing their story.
Keep reaching out to others who may be hurting.
Keep reminding people that their life matters, even when their pain tells them otherwise.
💜 September ends. Our commitment to prevention doesn’t.

Always Remembered Never Forgotten

26/09/2026

Today we had the honor of joining Ketchum's Got Your Six and making a donation in Tyler’s memory. ❤️

For us, this wasn’t simply a donation. It was a way to keep Tyler’s memory alive and to turn some of the pain of losing him into something that might help someone else.
Losing Tyler to su***de changed our family forever. There is a kind of grief that never completely leaves. You learn to carry it, even on the days when it feels impossibly heavy.

That is why supporting veterans through Ketchum’s Got Your Six means so much to us.

Ketchum’s Got Your Six is dedicated to placing professionally trained service dogs with veterans who carry the invisible weight of their service every single day. These dogs offer more than companionship. They can bring comfort, connection, security, and a reason to feel less alone and a sense that someone—or something—is there beside them when the battle feels too heavy to carry alone.

We can't change what happened to Tyler.

But we can choose what we do with the love we still have for him.

We can speak his name.
We can remember his life.
We can help someone else feel less alone.
And we can keep showing up for people who may be silently fighting battles no one else can see.

If our donation helps even one veteran hold on through one more difficult night, then Tyler's life and his memory are helping someone else find another tomorrow.

That is what we want Tyler's legacy to be—not only the heartbreaking story of how we lost him, but the love he left behind and the lives that might be touched because we refuse to let his story end.

For Tyler.
For our veterans.
For the families who love them.
And for everyone who is quietly struggling.

We remember.
We love.
We keep showing up.
And we keep choosing hope. ❤️🐾🇺🇸

🕯️ WORLD SU***DE PREVENTION DAY 🕯️

Today, we remember the lives that were lost too soon and honor the people whose absence leaves an ache that words cannot fully express.

Tonight, light a candle in their honor.
A small flame can carry a powerful message:

🕯️ We remember.
🕯️ We honor their lives.
🕯️ We stand with those who are grieving.
🕯️ We remind those who are struggling that they are not alone.
🕯️ We choose compassion, connection, and hope.

At 8:00 p.m. local time, place a candle near your window and let its light be a symbol of remembrance and su***de prevention.

For every person we lost, there are countless people left behind carrying memories, love, and grief. Tonight, let us hold space for them, too.

Let the light shine for those we remember, those who are struggling, and those who need a reason to keep going.

You are not alone. Your life matters. Your story is not over. ❤️‍🩹

🕯️ Light a candle. Start the conversation. Be the light.

UNDERSTANDING SU***DE TRIGGERS

Sometimes a person can be carrying pain that others cannot see. Certain experiences or stressful life events may intensify feelings of hopelessness, isolation, or being overwhelmed.

What overwhelms one person may not overwhelm another. A trigger does not mean someone will attempt su***de, and noticing a trigger does not mean you can predict what someone will do.

What we can do is pay attention.
