Obituary: Tyler James Thornton Everyone's "Little Buddy" He came into this world full of life Sept 6, 1990, and left this world full of life April 13, 2002. He was riding ATV's in the Sand Dunes with two of his best friends, Lonnie and Chris. Tyler died doing what he loved most, next to sports. Tyler loved life, people, comedy, and music. He loved to make people laugh with his incredible humor and quick wit. He will be missed terribly by all who knew him. He is survived by a very loving father and mother, James and Rose Thornton...he thought they were the greatest parents in the world; older brother, Michael, whom he idolized and took after like a mini Mike; older sister, Jamie, whom he loved like a mother because she took care of him when mom was at work; grandparents, Sonny and Verla Mortensen, Clark and Rocky Thornton; many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and especially his very best friend, Kyle, whom he would do anything for and loved dearly. Tyler would want everyone to go forward with a smile on their face and go out there and give it 110% like he did. Services will be Wed. April 17, 2 p.m., Larkin Sunset Gardens Mortuary Chapel, 1900 E. 10600 S, where friends may call 12-2 p.m. prior to services. Interment, Larkin Sunset Gardens Cemetery.
