He was said to be an amazing and beautiful soul. Tycho was intelligent, athletic, loyal, and a sensitive friend according to the page.
What made his family miss his struggle with depression was probably the fact that he was full of life, constantly smiling, and made others laugh. This was how his family now chose to remember him.
The page shared that ‘Tycho's last wish was 'give all of my money to a depression and bipolar organization.' Therefore, the money raised on the page will be donated to a worthy organization.
The family asked that people join them in their fight to raise awareness of the signs of depression. They asked fans to honor their friends because it was never known what was hiding behind someone's smile.
All the donations and Tycho's money will be given to a depression and bipolar organization.
