Tyler Braden Cockerham
Never Give Up. Jim Valvano
Tyler was born July 4, 1996. Our little firecracker. He brought much love and laughter…some heartaches like most teenagers… before his death in 2015. He loved the water, skiing and wake boarding at his grandparents house at Lake Norman. He enjoyed camps at Seagull and Sail Caribbean. He loved diving and was a Master Scuba Diver at 16. He enjoyed wrestling, but particularly the team experience with Mat Hawks. He was especially close to his Dad, always finding ways to aggravate and bring a smile to his face.
Tyler was diagnosed with AML on July 27, 2015 and lost a hard fought battle on December 26, 2015.
