Tyler had been successful in school and sports, but injury and the subsequent surgeries brought on an addiction to opioids which eventually moved to heroin. This began 6 years of addiction and relapse. The family did everything it could to provide a path to recovery, but eventually Tyler ended up with Heroin laced with Fentanyl. The person he was using with panicked, and left him to die in a vacant lot. The immense grief overwhelmed Travis and his family. It was his daughters that found the first outlet for their grief by bringing Tyler’s story to their school and starting Hope United, their answer to the plague that had taken their brother. Then Travis used his own voice to share Tyler’s story at a union conference and speak about the problem facing their community. He raised 1 million dollars in donations in a little over an hour.The family has used their platform and their immense effort to create “Tyler’s Redemption Place” a recovery community organization which will open this year.
