Tyler Robinson Obituary
Our beloved Tyler Holt Robinson, age 17, passed away peacefully on March 4, 2013 in Salt Lake City from cancer.
He was born to Brent and Shannon Robinson on May 14, 1995 on Mother's Day in Salt Lake City. He reminded his mother that he was the best gift she ever received on any Mother's Day.
He was a senior and on track to graduate from Brighton High School. He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a faithful priest in the Willowcreek 9th Ward. He was preparing for and looking forward to serving a mission. He has inspired many people with his courage, patience in suffering, and kindness towards others.
He is survived by his parents, brothers and sisters Tony (Jeni) Robinson, Matt (Faroe) Robinson, Cole (Jocelyn) Robinson, Jesse Robinson and Lauren (Brett) Muir. He was a sweet uncle to Kylie, Sydney, Kaiden, Dean and Suzy Robinson.
Funeral Services will be held on Friday, March 8 at 12:00 noon at the Willowcreek Stake House, 2350 E. Creek Road, Sandy, Utah. The family will receive friends on Thursday, March 7 from 6 - 8 p.m. and on Friday from 10:30 - 11:45 a.m. at the church.
He will be laid to rest at Wasatch Lawn 3401 South Highland Drive.
A special thank you to all that cared for Tyler, family, friends, ward members, and his loved ones at Primary Children's Hospital.
In lieu of flowers please make a contribution to Curesearch.org, Milliesprincessrun.org, or the Make A Wish Foundation.

I'm nobody you know but i too live in Utah. I'm sorry to hear that your loving son passed away. Just from reading his obituary he seemed like an awesome guy. At least now he's in heaven watching over you and making sure his family is safe. Please accept my condolences. I too am LDS. Heavenly Father has a plan for all of us. I guess his plan for Tyler was to brighten the lives of the people he came into contact with. Again I am truly sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace. Even though this may be a year old. I googled your son because i was watching the music video for Demons by Imagine Dragons. I am also a fan of Imagine Dragons. Well I'm glad i could give you this message. May it bring you some peace

I myself have never met Tyler, but from reading stories and seeing the clip from the time, imagine dragons concert, I wish i would have had the honour of meeting him. He had such a beautiful soul and so much courage. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Praying for a cure...this curse takes so many lives from the brand new babies, the just getting a bit dirty youth, the just stepping INTO their very own skin of independence adolescence, the young adults, the mommies or daddies whom are forced to leave their babies, middle aged just getting started with accepting the best of themselves, our young grandparents before they retire to get to enjoy the golden years...CANCER IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT MURDERER AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S A FEW PEOPLE WHO ARE CLOSE TO WIPING OUT THE BEAST.....To those few I employ you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HURRY....there are too many suffering and dying daily from all forms of one of the worlds worst disease...in a close comparison to the other monster disease diabetes! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP FUNDING A CURE! GOD BLESS ALL WHO HAVE BEEN TAKEN HOME WAY TOO EARLY from the nasty C monster! You are a hero in many people s eye's! Blessings and love to you

We are so terribly sorry about your loss! Please know you and your family are in our hearts and our prayers.

It is with deep felt sorrow that I write this message. I believe the higher powders have a plan but we may not always be privy to it. We are privilege,however, to have special beings come into our lives. Sometimes they are with us for along time and some are gone in a blink of an eye. Although this is heart rendering you can be grateful for the time spent with Ty, who leaves with with his family his wisdom strength love.
With deepest sympathy Vicki

Brent, Shannon and all of Tyler's family and friends.... you are all in my prayers. Ever since I heard about Tyler's diagnosis, I have been following his progress on the support group on Facebook and I have been praying DAILY for him and all of you. My prayers are different now but just as fervent. I can't express how sorry I am for your loss. My youngest child is Tyler's age and I cannot imagine! I am thankful that you know you will be eternally reunited with him someday. God Bless you all and virtual hugs across the miles from Washington state. I don't care if it's unprofessional... I will be giving Brent a big hug the next time I am in Utah.

Brent, Shannon and Family,
I was so sad to hear about Tyler. Art said when he visited last night that you were being so brave and strong. It has been such a pleasure to know you and your children. This is when our belief in the Atonement gives peace, and knowing you can be an Eternal family. My thoughts and prayers are with you! Please keep in touch! Sidney, Dr Gardiner's nurse.

Brent and Shannon -
Nancy and I were saddened to hear of your loss. I didn't know Tyler well (only when he was a baby really), but I feel as though I know now what a tremendous kid he was - the 'prancing gazelle' as Matt described! So talented, so vivacious, so incredibly courageous - and in possession of such an impressive testimony of the Gospel in one so young. He reminds me of your dad and, by the way, what a glorious reunion that must have been!
My love and condolences to all of you including your wonderful sons, Michelle and Lisa.

Robinson Family,
God has given you such a precious gift the gift of a son. Though god's precious gift was only here for such a short while. It only proves how truly unique and how much of a blessing young Tyler was. I'm sure even from the very day he was born. Anyone that was graced with his playful loving presence couldn't really get enough of that bright light that he would bring with him into the room. Even though we all didn't know him like your loving family did. We cant help but wonder what all this young kid did. Even though this gift was only for a short while know that god has him in his arms and he is home where one day all whom has loved him so will be too some day. So today we just want to thank god for such a beautiful precious gift because with out Tyler Holt Robinson our life wouldn't have never been the same. Thank You God for such a beautiful light bye for now is the physical world for such a young beautiful kid. But say sweet hello to the the beautiful spirit that will reside within our hearts. That is where our Tyler will be until god says it's our time. Let the message of love and our thoughts and prayers give your beautiful family the comfort you all seek. May god bless you all for bigger and brighter days. Just know TYLER LIVED AND SO SHALL WE! Love the Hendrickson family (Justen, Mindy and kids.)

Ecclesiastes 3: This is "a time to weep" and "a time to mourn." We weep and mourn for you and with you. There could be nothing more unjust than for you to lose Tyler. But wait, he shall rise again, and you will see him with your own eyes. Of that, we are certain. Scott & Mary Beth & family

Megan and I were Tyler's Wish Granters from the Make a Wish foundation. Tyler chose to give his wish to those less fortunate by purchasing items for several refugee families. What a remarkable and insightful person--someone I will always look up to. I will forever be grateful for his example of charity and love. Tyler, you will be missed tremendously. May our Father in Heaven shower his love on your family until that glorious day when you will all be reunited. Love, Brad and Megan Bonham

Brent and Shannon: I am so sorry you have suffered this loss in your life. It's the toughest loss of all. My heart and prayers are with you and your family. I just missed being able to see Tyler and say "Hello," "Goodbye," and tell him what a bright light (and fun) he was. Marilyn
March 6, 2013
Though I didn't see him often, when I did, he was positive, happy and funny. Even from being in his presence a short time, I knew he was a special spirit and wonderful young man. I'm sorry I arrived a bit too late to say Hello and Goodbye and "I care about you." Cousin, Lynn Williams (Marilyn)

Brent and Shannon,
I was sorry to hear about your loss. Tyler was just an infant when you moved into your beautiful home next door to ours. I am remembering funny stories you would share with our family about Tyler. One involving a brand new leather sofa,,, and the other was an incident when Tyler and another neighborhood friend came into our yard and possibly put 30 Tulips to their demise. When these two cute little scoundrels were approached at the reason they did this, they responded, "We capped them." Our family jokes about this line frequently with smiles. Words cannot help with the pain that your family is experiencing, just know that there are hundreds mourning, praying, and thinking of you at this time. Til you meet again,,,,
Sincerely, Janelle Homer Blackham

Tyler was an amazing and I will miss him like crazy. He told me he was going to take me to the prom, but he wasnt sure how he was going to explain taking his mom. Then we laughed. He was the epitome of why we do what we do. My heart is with you all. He loved you all so dearly.

We have enjoyed watching Tyler grow up. His laughter is infectious and engaging. Our lives are better because we knew him and loved him. We are incredibly grateful for every moment, every breath, and every memory we shared together. The hours our kids spent with him swimming in our backyard, playing online games, and air soft battles will remain in our hearts forever. He has always been just like a member of our family. We look forward to seeing him again one day.

I never met Tyler. I just saw him for the first time tonight singing his heart out with Imagine Dragons. His smile and energy touched my heart. I was so sad to read that he lost his battle to cancer. I am so sorry for your loss, he looked to be such a radiant young man.
