I’ll never forget Talyn knocked on my door in 8th grade and asked me to ride bikes with him. He barely knew me at the time and I was new to the neighborhood. That meant a lot to me. Thank you Talyn. Praying for Talyn and his family.
So very sorry to see this! So sorry for your loss! Always full of fun in grade school! He will be missed!
Sorry for your loss. I was his babysitter years ago. Good memories of him as a child
Rick, Elaine, and family, my deepest condolences for this loss. Chase, keep your head up and know that you are loved. May God wrap his arms around you and your family in this time of grief. Love you all

I’m so sorry for your loss I only knew him for bout 10 yrs but he was a good guy. And he will forever be missed from me and the Vaughn family
I remember babysitting him and his brothers one summer!!! They were all such great boys!!! Sorry to hear of Talyn’s passing!!
I have many memories of Talyn, from not only St. Peter’s and QND, but also through various sports and neighborhood games. He was always ready to help the boys get their chores done so they could ride off on their bikes, check out what was in the fridge or cabinet and most of all, chat and laugh! He would always bring a smile to my face! Prayers and love to Rick and Elaine, his beautiful kids, and his brothers and their families during this time of sorrow.
My most sincere condolences to you and your family Elaine.🙏
To all the Fesler family especially Grandpa Roger, so very sorry for your loss. We were car club members with your Grandpa Roger. In fact, he bought the red 41 Chevy 5 passenger coupe from us. You all have our deepest sympathy.
Elaine, Rick, and family:
I am so sorry, and saddened, to hear this news. I will always remember that ornery grin of Talyn’s…and his true heart of gold, even as a little boy. May God give you the strength you need in the tough times ahead. I will pray that HE fills your hearts and souls with the great memories that you created, and shared with Talyn. God Bless.
Thinking of you all!
