In Loving Memory of Tyler Little 7/25/54-5/25/2014 Memorial Day Weekend
To my Best Friend, Partner in Crime and especially Love of My Life. My heart is so broken and feels so empty without you. I still remember, so vividly, when I was given news of your death, and the only questions I kept asking myself were---How could that be? We still had so many years of love, happiness and laughter to share. How could you leave me Memorial Day weekend as Franca did 9 years prior? You were my strength those 9 years. How am I going to get through your death? My saving Grace is that you are in Heaven with God and an Angel to me. I am so blessed to have shared 16 years of my life with you. Until we meet again. Rest Peacefully. "All of Me, Loves All of You"

Dear Tyler, today we celebrated Stephie's graduation without you. You were greatly missed. We didn't have your help w setup like we're used to. We didn't have your music...Earth Wind Fire, John Legend, and Sade..but we did get to hear wonderful stories from so many people that you've touched. But it was not the same without you. We love and miss you soooo much. Love always Tremaine and Julun

July 25, happy birthday Tyler. We should be having a surprise party, but I'm here writing a heartbreaking letter. I can't believe you're not here. It's a nightmare I can't wake up from. You are my other dad. I know you don't want us crying, but how do I say goodbye to someone who's a part of my life in so many ways? So many reminders..smells, movies, shows, music. Although we're not blood, but through Tremaine we are. You always made me feel a part of your family. You always made time for gatherings. We have a hole so big that you would fix if you were still here. How do we heal? Who's going to "fix" us? We need you, we will always need you. We will honor your memory by continuing our get togethers. We will make sure that Jaii knows about you, whom you didn't get to meet. You worked so hard..I'm sorry you didn't get to enjoy retirement. You always helped anyone in need and your calm prescence soothed us all. The warmth of your smile and hugs are missed. It's not fair that you're gone. I hope that God in His great Mercy shows love for someone who wasn't perfect, but did so much good. I hope one day to feel your hug and see your smile again. This day is sad but if not for today we would not have been shown your love. I miss you and will always love you. Happy birthday Tyler. R.I.P
Love Tatia

I am very sad to hear of Tyler's passing. My thoughts are with Shane and his family. We kept in touch over the years and I could always "hear his smile" on the phone. He always left me with one. I will always remember the good times that we had.

We didn't know Tyler very well but what we did know was that he always had a smile on his face, was very polite and would help anyone who needed it. The world needs more people like this. Our sympathies go out to his family, friends and everyone whose lives he touched. Joe & Marcia Neves

I attended South Street, Morris Street, Danbury Junior High, and Danbury High with this man and have always considered him as one of the friendliest people I have ever met. Having missed the service, all I can do now is to extend my sincerest condolences to the Little family and wish them comfort through this sorrowful time. I would like also to give a special hello to Mabel and Vivian Clemens who I heard were at the service.

I knew Tyler as "Bill," having worked with him for 6 years at BIPI. I loved his gentle spirit, easy smile and great laugh. I can still hear his chuckle when I think of him, even though it's been years since I last saw him.
I am truly sorry for your loss, and saddened by his passing. Please know that you're in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Dearest Tyler, I'm going to miss cooking for you. I'll never forget the day you asked me for more salad! I'd already grabbed the plate of flank steak thinking that's what you wanted. Imagine my surprise when you wanted more salad. Until I cook for you again, love Julun

Tyler, I am so grateful for the gift of you. You gave me great joy in life with your two most precious gifts anyone could ever give. Our 42 years of love and great friendship we shared is one gift, but our having created our son, Tremaine, is the greatest gift of all. Thank you for our giving us him 38 years ago. Keep watch over him from up there, as I will from here.
You will be missed by so many, as you were always so kind to everyone. I am giving as much love and support to everyone as I can during this time. May you Rest in Peace knowing how I appreciate your having been a great father to your only child, a great brother, a great son and a great family member to your whole family. I will miss you tremendously. Love always, Kimberly

Another sleepless night for me, but Tremaine Tyler Little and his fiancee Julan, (Tyler's son) Shane and Willis Little (Tyler's parents), Janice, Wanda, Terry and Mike and their signficant partners (Tyler's siblings), his immediate family and myself are very devasted of his passing. His family gave me the honor to thank his many friends, and coworkers for all the condolences and kind words. Tyler was a very special, beautiful, generous and kind person. The family asks that we all remember his beautiful smile and all the great memories that we all shared with him. Again from his family, Thank you to all for being a part of his life.

It is late a night and I can't sleep. I am getting over the shock of losing my best friend Tyler Little the same weekend I lost my sister 9 years ago. I don't understand it but I have to thank Tyler for being there to support me when I lost Franca and for him being there to support me through my breast cancer last year. Tyler my heart is so broken. Not only were we best friends, we were coworkers, we were partners in crime (lol) but we got to share 16 years as best friends, confidants for each other and we got to share many happy and fun times together. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to have you in my life. I love you and I want you to know that I will always be there for your son, your mother and family. I will always cherish all the great times we had whether it was going to see your son, going to the casino or traveling together. To know that you are at peace gives me the strenght to move on. You and Franca are our angels and I know I have no worries that you will guide me and take care of me, and your family especially your son Tremaine. Rest in Peace and always remember that you are in my heart forever. Love you, Gina
