Tyler Joseph Caudill

Tyler “TJ” Joseph Caudill, 6 of South Shore, Kentucky earned his angel wings during the summer of 2016 in Portsmouth, Ohio.

TJ was born August 8, 2010 and is survived by his father Michael Joseph Caudill and step mother Grace Marie Adkins.

He was a kindergarten graduate of McKell Elementary School in South Shore. He was a handsome little boy with huge beautiful “Blue Eyes”, which was one of his many nickmanes. He would light up any room and the hearts of everyone in it with his amazing smile and infectious laughter. TJ was all boy and loved cars, trucks, tractors, school buses, and turtles. He loved to ride the four wheeler with his daddy and play matchbox cars with his mamaw, but his favorite activity was blowing and chasing bubbles. TJ was autistic and considered non-verbal. However, he learned his colors, shapes, and could count to 50. He knew his alphabet and could recognize his written name, although, his speech was delayed he knew all the important words and could definitely let you know what he wanted. He learned a lot in his short time on earth but more importantly, TJ taught his father and grandparents daily. He taught them the value of time, the gift of patience, and what true love really means. We will forever be thankful for that blessing. We’ve learned more from that precious little boy than we ever thought possible.
