The Crowell Family express our deepest condolences to Rev. Earnest Tyler III, his family, friends and loved ones. From the time Mr. Tyler started working with Aflac Security and even after he left we built a good bond and friendship. We would always talk about God, family, life, working out and he always had a scripture for me and I would share some with him sometimes. He respected and accepted me as a young man as he always called me and as a friend and brother in the lord. Even at 60 years young, he would work out with Ofc. Reese and myself from time to time and he still had it. Reppin' 225 for 3 sets of 20 is what we would do. He was a strong man not just physically, but spiritually, and he loved his family and the Lord. He will be truly missed. Rest on Mr. Tyler! Much love to you my brother!
