Our guest today is Phillip Tyler. A text received in the afternoon of November 29th, 2017, would reveal the devastating suicide of his son, Devon, and the beginning of his journey with grief and comfort. Phillip shared that anyone who Devon encountered, commented on his infectious smile. Devon never forgot a birthday or Christmas card and his frequent text messages continue to shape Phillip to this day, including one of the last ones he received from Devon after helping someone in need, which said, "We all need that one chance, that one glimpse of support. We are all family, life is chaos, be kind."

Phillip is a crime prevention and education officer at Gonzaga University and a married father of three. His extraordinary career has included time with the County Sheriff's office, the United States Air Force and the Spokane NAACP. I know Phillip Tyler's words will inspire you as much as they have me.
