One close friend recalled how Tyler guided him to switch positions, saying:

I found out that a close friend and a great mentor of mine passed away. When I first joined semi pro football James Tyler was my defensive captain who really took time to share his knowledge about what to expect in semi pro football and how to perfect my game. He’s actually the one who preferred me to play defensive end and thought I would be better at that position…

Some even called him “one hell of a teammate,” saying:

Today is a sad day, today we say goodbye to one hell of a teammate, a great football player and most important a great person. RIH
