Our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Tyler Schroeder. He will be missed by his many friends.
I am so fortunate to have met Tyler! He was always so positive, caring, and one of the kindest people I have ever met. My heart is absolutely breaking for his family!
Tyler and I were great childhood friends. I remember Tyler being the catcher on our little league baseball team, and his dad, "Red" serving as our coach. When my family moved to Olney IL., before my 8th grade year, Tyler always made it a point to come and shake my hand and say- good game Mike, after every baseball/football game we played against each other during high school. He never let playing @ different schools stand in the way of our long standing friendship. That always meant a lot to me that he was a true gentleman and showed a lot of class. The fact he had such a long history w/ the Flora volunteer Fire Dept., shows how caring he was about his community.
Susan, we are sorry for your loss. Words are inadequate. May God give you comfort at this difficult time
When I think of Tyler - an immediate smile comes across my face. He lit up the room. Billie loved him so. Susan, nothing but time will heal this wound but be assured that the memories you shared, your children and their love will help light the way. Our loss - heaven’s gain. With love, Janna
Susan, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. Prayers and hugs to and your family.

My thoughts and prayers are certainly with Susan and the family at this very difficult time. Tyler was a special friend and will be missed but not forgotten.
The best “bonus” dad I could have asked for. I will never forget his smile, those hugs, and hearing him say, “Lisa Mae!” We will all treasure the memories.
We are just so sorry ...as so many have already expressed..we will continue to pray for comfort through this difficult time of grieving. Tyler will be sorely missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with all the family. So sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear about Tyler’s passing. I was very fortunate to call Tyler a friend in College. To say it best we had quite a few late nights in cornfields together drinking beer while at Olney. Tyler had the knack of making us all laugh. He was the jokester and prankster of our group. He also would give his shirt off the back for anyone. Such a kind person. I feel blessed knowing him, with so many great memories. RIP my friend!!!!
So very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May God comfort you in your time of sorrow.

Growing up in the “south end” there were a few of us who played together and grew up together all the way through high school.

Even though I never had the privilege of knowing his children and grandchildren, having moved to Evansville after our graduation from FTHS in 1973, I remember Tyler in many of my classes as well as Susan as far back as McEndree grade school. He was a funny, well liked guy who played a mean drum in the band for many years. My prayers are with his family and his wife, Susan.
So sorry for your loss Susan.
Susan - We are sending our love and deepest sympathy to you and your family. We have so many wonderful memories of our time in Flora and you and Tyler are included in those memories. Steve often reminisces the times they shared while on the fire department. Tyler introduced him to trapping and bow hunting which he still enjoys today. Tyler will be with him in the forests and on the water, and his light will always shine.
Carrie and family you are in our thoughts and prayers. So sorry for your loss!
