TB, your Dad will always be remembered as someone who, by his talent and force of will,
broke through to higher levels that most of us could barely imagine.

I's so sorry, Tyrus. Never met your dad in real life, but just here on the internet. Whenever he made mention of you, it was crystal clear that he loved you deeply, had total respect for you and was so proud of you.
It just doesn't seem fair, when a young man has to loses his dad so early, as you have.

Be strong;...be proud, hang tough;......I lost my mom as an adult;....it was very very tough, but we got through it. Just think about what your dad would want you to do and be;....and embrance all the people who love and care for you. I saw your dad often when he lived in Joshua Tree.......we will all miss him dearly;.....he is at total peace now;....it's everyone else that is hurting so........be strong.

Tyrus,
Your dad was one of the great ones of our times, pursing excellence and holding fast to his convictions like few do. I have good memories from the many encounters
in Tuolumne, the Gorge or Clark Canyon. And like everyone else was in awe as I
watched the man move across the rock like no other, truly amazing to see!
As you can see there are a great multitude who knew and admired your dad, and this
"family" here will stand with you to help in coming days.
There is only One who knows the number of our days, and here again we are reminded
that we ought to make the most of the days given to us, love well, forgive quickly, charish our relationships while we can.

I wish I knew the words to comfort you now.
And I just can't find them.
I woke last night thinking about your father.
I was so fortunate to have seen him in Denver last
week. Be strong. We all have such a hole in
our hearts right now.
I wish you the very best.

Your father was a giant.
He had extreme passion that is rarely seen in men today.
He will be missed by many.
Your father was a man of courage and strength.

Your father was great. But not because of his climbing ability as much as because of the totality of his love for you. Though I spent little time with John, I was blown away by how his eyes sparkled when he spoke of you. And I was touched by how it was clear that you are the most important thing to him. I hope you never forget these amazing gifts.
