In Loving Memory of Tyler Thomas
June 12, 2025 — A Star Named in His Honor

A new star now shines in the night sky in memory of Tyler Thomas, a beloved member of our community whose sudden passing has left a hole in the hearts of everyone who knew him. On June 12, 2025, a star was named in his honor — a bright symbol of the joy, kindness, and light he shared with the world.

This star is part of a rare and powerful pair of stars more than 1,000 light years away. It burns hot and blue — one of the brightest types in the universe — and reminds us of Tyler’s energy and the way he lit up every room he entered.

If you’d like to find Tyler’s star, look toward the constellation Orion during the winter months. It rises in the east and is one of the easiest constellations to spot — known for the three stars that form Orion’s Belt. Tyler’s star is near that part of the sky, shining proudly and beautifully.

Tyler touched countless lives with his warmth, laughter, and generous spirit. He was a loyal friend, a loving family member, and someone who made the world a better place just by being in it. Though he may no longer walk among us, his light now shines from above — a comforting reminder that he is never far from our hearts.

Look up on a clear night, and you just might see a piece of him smiling back.
