Tyler Ryan - The Good Samaritan

[DirtDawg]

For starters, this is not T4R related or does it belong in this topic area.

Last Thursday, the 10th, a car got a flat tire on the side of the road. My close cousin Tyler Ryan stopped to help the man change his tire. As he was helping the man remove the spare, Tyler saw a car approaching. He pushed the man out of the way but did not have time to save himself. He was caught between the two cars and his legs were torn apart. Almost all the bones were broken and he lost almost half the blood in his body. He was quickly rushed to the OU medical center which is when we got the call. My dad and grandmother rushed up there to visit him. They talked to the doctors and there was little hope he would keep his legs. Since the accident, countless people have been donating money and blood to help Tyler. Through surgeries, they have managed to save his right leg. His left leg was amputated on Sunday. He has managed to keep in good spirits about this whole experience. We hope he makes a healthy recovery. Please keep him in your prayers.

No matter what your beliefs are, it's easy to see that someone like Tyler will will end up on the positive side of the situation.

I knelt and said one for him just now.

Prayers have been said for Tyler. A brave soul. All things happen for a reason, even horrible, terrible, tragic things. He, the Man upstairs, must have a plan for Tyler even though that is hard to comprehend right now. God bless all of y'all.

Your cousin is a great great man. I wish him the best in all his recovery. It seems rare to find people like him anymore. The good old made in america man. Most would drive by the stranded citizen.

Typing this makes me think of one of my favorite songs. I think everyone can appreciate whether you like country or not.

Amen, Brother. I hate country music, but this song is pretty awesome.

Haven't seen it posted; but I think this is VERY fitting:

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." - John 15:13.

That, my friends, is a true man. Prayers and thoughts definitely going up; I will donate as well.

It is definitely good to hear about someone that truly loves and cares for others. Prayers go out to him and his family. I will get the college ministry at my church to pass the prayers along, and will definitely be donating.
