Michael Tyler Blind

Michael was always ready for a new adventure. He had a love for baseball, basketball, surfing, fishing, BMX biking, four wheeling, skateboarding. You name it, he wanted to try it. Anything outdoors he loved. Building tree forts, climbing trees, or learning to play a new instrument or computer game.

He was such a fast learner. So unbelievably smart and talented. We were so extremely proud of him. He had the ability to do anything he set his mind to.

He was always there for his brothers and sister. He supported them, guided them, and made them happy. Helping fix a dirt bike or a computer for his brother. He would always go and find his little sister and make her smile or give her a big hug. We had so many happy memories together, traveling, spending summers at Orange lake, swimming or going to Disney and universal. He spent his 16th birthday just hanging with his sister playing games at the arcade. I’m so thankful we had one last summer in the mountains with our sweet boy. We will cherish these memories forever.

Michael had such a fearless and free spirit, who lived in the present. He was a great listener, but didn’t always want to take advice. He was a dreamer. He was a leader. He would enter a room and brighten it with his big smile, his attitude, or just his presence.

He made friends so easily and was true to each and every one of them. He supported them no matter what. He was a defender to the fullest and he made them happy. He made us happy.

Michael’s last wish in life was to help those who needed it the most. His spirit is kept alive through the selfless organ donations that helped 6 people live on through his name. He was loved by many and will never be forgotten.
