I have so many good memories of Ty, there is no way I could share just one. Starting in high school, continuing thru to college and after. He was funny, kind, sarcastic and always up for a dance if we all were out. My prayers and love are with the entire Bentley family. He was loved and will be missed.

To Angie, the children, and the Bentley family, Our deepest condolences to you on the passing of our dear brother Ty. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. We celebrate brother Ty as he leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and a lifetime of biblical teachings by the way he lived. A wonderful man of God who will be greatly missed. I can hear him saying, "don't be sad for me. I'm in my Heavenly home with my Eternal Father." To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8). God's blessings be with each of you.
