I remember TJ well. I had him in 9th grade health. TJ was a very friendly kid; to me and to his classmates. I’m so sorry for your loss. It sounds as though TJ had a wonderful life, although short, and so many who loved him. I wish all of TJ’s family and friends peace and awesome memories.

I would like to thank everone who tex in and talked about tj thanks again he is a good man , (terry his dad)
TJ there is so much I could say, but my heart is breaking and at the same time so proud! You have been such a gift of light in my eyes! When you came to the house there were antics and laughter that is still echoing now!!! In high school, welding at BOES and welding college at Mohawk Valley Community College, you and Josh were each other’s rock through those years – such a special friendship you both had and still have! The sign you both designed for the cemetery for your senior project says it all – pride, love and caring for others is the height of life. You continued that even now after you left us, the people that received part of you could not have been more blessed – you still will live on through them and I pray they know and will feel how special you were to all of us. God speed and fly high. Love Mama Woody!!!
Prayers for the family in this difficult time. I’m so sorry to hear this sad news. T.j. brought a smile to everyone who knew him. What a warm and kind soul heaven gained. Love and healing to all his family and friends.
So many good times and memories it would take years to go through them all. You were a huge influence in making me the person I am today and for that I truly thank you. Im so glad i got to be a part of your family. You will be deeply missed and forever remembered in our hearts.
This is Michael. Misty, I am so sorry about what happened to your brother. You have a place in my heart always and when I see something like this my heart also breaks for you and your family. Please know that I am thinking about you.
My hearts heavy since you left, snd i never wanted to see the world without you in it, but its okay baby, you dont have to feel the pain anymore, i want you to know that im always gonna be so proud of you uncle tj, and i love you more than life itself.
I watched you live, love and laugh. And am truely heart broken you are not here. But I once never “felt” you leave. To find out you are an organ donor gave me this answer why I felt that way, I will forever “look” for you in every person I meet. Forever in my heart … Till we meet again my sweet prince. Love always.
Tj was a wonderful sweet human being. I Absolutely adored him. I met him through my daughter Erica Retzer. He was our designated driver to the Luke Bryan concert at Darien Lake. I will never forget that day and night. I’ve never laughed so hard. Such a sweet funny beautiful soul. You will be missed TJ.
So sorry for your loss TJ was a great guy and a good friend he will be missed it’s not goodbye but till we meet again
God Bless you TJ we will keep you in our hearts and never forget your sense of humor….
Love
Randy and Ava
It doesn’t seem real at all. I will cherish the many many memories we have for always. You were always quick to cheer me up or tell me I was better than the problems or sometimes the ppl i dealt with at times. I will miss u dearly until we meet again. Till then I know you’ll look over ur sisters and nieces and likely continue to be the prankster and character you always were to make sure everyone knows when ur around. Fly high kiddo …. thank u for the memories I am so honored to have known u for so many years ????
I’m sorry for y’all’s loss. He was a handsome man. He will never be forgotten in y’all’s hearts. He still loves you guys, and he will always see you and he will see you all again one day.
