Tyler Cluthe – December 6, 1941 – November 29, 2015
Some of you will remember Tyler, who was for many years the main moderator, and frequent commentor on the Sabbath School Net Blog. We learned with sadness that Tyler passed away in November last year.
I have known Tyler through our work on Sabbath School Net for quite a few years. He had the ability to ask some challenging questions and to make insightful comments. The amount of work that he did behind the scenes in preparing posts, creating graphics and generally keeping things going was staggering, and I am sure that we never thanked him enough. Tyler was not married and for him Sabbath School Net was his family.
He told us early last year that he was unable to continue working for SSNET and we thought he just needed a change of activity. We suspect now that he knew he would no longer be able to continue.
Over the years Tyler and I have had some great exchanges. I sent him some photographs that I had taken of Australian birds and he would send me articles of scientific interest and ask me what I though of them. Looking back through my emails I found our last exchange, mid 2015, was about the longevity of DNA in fossil records.
Tyler, I know that you are sleeping in the blessed hope now and you won’t read this, but we would like to publicly say thank you for those many years of faithful work you did for this Blog. Some of us will look back over those many comments that you made, the moderating letters that you wrote, the graphics that you created and be inspired by your example of selfless service. We look forward to meeing you on the resurrection morning.
