  • James Tyler Grotjan What a fun loving guy. He based his life around his family filled with a loving mother and devoted father and 7 crazy siblings. 2 brothers 5 sisters. 4 nieces And lots of pet children. His life goal was to be in the military following our dad who retired from the NAVY after 22 years. James who goes by Tyler was the jokester in the family always pranking his siblings and always laughing with friends. When Tyler's accident happened we were prepared to bring him home stand by his side as he healed. The day Tyler passed away it broke every single one of us. We had to grieve heal and fight memorializing him every holiday birthday wedding. JULY became a month of mourning. July became the month of remembering that horrible time in our lives but also became a time where our family grew stronger together. The amount of appreciation we have for this soilder is astronomical. James Tyler Grotjan will forever live on in our homes with pictures to show our children. Our hearts where we frequently think about him and in the sky where we tell our children he is sleeping forever.
