We are completely heartbroken and devastated by the loss of life of our beloved son 1LT Tyler James Feehan aka  Tivo  as well as the other America Heros that lost their lives or were injured in this tragic attack. We want America and the world to know Tyler lived life to the fullest and accomplished more in his 25 years than most complete in a lifetime. He was always looking forward to the next big adventure from climbing up to Everest Base Camp to trekking the El Camino de Santiago from France through Spain. He was an amazing leader that always put his troops first and loved to serve, always teaching his passion of finance and the importance of education. Tyler promoted service to our country, pointing out the tremendous benifits of service, especially leadership and discipline. He was loved and adored by everyone that he came acrossed. He leaves behind broken hearted parents, a devastated fiance, 4 sets of grandparents, many uncles, aunts, and cousins he adores. He was set to be married when he returned from deployment and to pursue his next area of service by completing law school, as he would qoute on a regular basis from leaglly blonde  what like its hard . Our prayers as always go out to all service men and women that put themselves out there for the betterment of our country. We are a so
