Tyler Davis' Final Resting Place

On Feb 23, 2008, around 5:00 pm, Dick Barron held services at Tyler's final resting place in the woods off the Turtle Neck Trail, in the Fayette County part of Seven Springs, PA (WAPP), which will never be touched by any development. They were attended by many patrollers and rangers, showing the respect they all had for him.

The Photos were taken by Guy Lombardo on Sunday Feb. 24. The first one shows where the resting place is behind Guy's crossed skis and Tyler's poles, off the trail and in the woods. The ashes can be seen on the snow; they will soon blend into the ground of the area he loved so very much. Guy made a temporary cross out of branches he found nearby.
