Tyrus,
Words are hard to come by at a time like this, but there are many here who are with you.
So many friends here, the ones that knew your dad and the ones that didn't. But we are all one tribe, and your dad was one of it's greatest warriors.
You can find much of the support you'll need right here.
Try to be strong man, like your dad.

Tyrus, I don't know you but I knew your Dad. I had hoped he and I (and a gaggle of other climber/musician types)could play some music together at this summer OR show.
I have an 11 yr old son. I think every day about what he would do if/when my time comes. And I'm not nearly the climber your Dad was, but I hope that when my time comes, I will depart honorably, and my childrens lives will somehow be richer for having me in it. I have faith that John felt similarly, and that You will move forward in your life with pride and strength for having him as part of you.
None of us know when our time is. Your dad lived an adventurous life, a life that transformed fear into strength when facing the unknown. That is a power for us to all aspire to.
My deepest respect to you and your remaining family.

Tyrus,
I've posted this too many times this year, but it's my way of connecting our loss and our love of the mountains. They're kind of inseparable, and now I make this small offering to you too.
Peace.

Tyrus, this is such a tough time for you. Your Dad is a great man. You will need support. You will have a lot of support from your Dad's close family and friends, but I will email my phone number to you. Call if you need anything. Or call if you just need to talk to another man who respected your Dad so highly. Please don't hesitate to let the climber tribe help you through this.
You love your Dad. He loves you. And we love you, too.

Totally stole this pic from the Acopa site.
I hope you don't mind. I was looking at the shoes when I saw it and thought. Dude! Who puts pictures of their kid skating on a climbing shoe site? He was obviously VERY proud of you.
Stay strong and honor him by trying to grow into the man you know he would want you to be.
