help

can anyone get me in touch with Tyler Wilkinson? i understand he grew up in St. George...i also think he is Tasha Macname's brother? i JUST finished watching his video - thanks valerie albrechtson..Tyler reminds me SOOOOOOOO much of jon!! its amazing!!! i bawled thru the entire video...watching him go thru the same things jon is doing right now...then i was amazed to think they had the same injury..Tyler was in ICU for 3 weeks..where jon was only in for 4 days- amazing! i think it was 12 days from jons injury - and jon pushed HIMSELF 20 ft in a wheelchair! Tyler took an hour to go a few inches- im amazed again!
jon is CONSTANTLY doing more then what's asked of him, whether it was track -(he would RUN to and from seminary each morning in highschool), whether it was him being the ASB president (he gave a devotional stating he was trying to please everyone else at school and making them happy..but realized he could not do that..he could only make God happy and so thats what he did), whether he was serving his mission in Japan (he never went a day without in some way trying to preach the gospel -his entire 2 years there he never got past the 2nd discussion and ONLY baptized one person), in his career (he worked MANY 12-16 hour days when he didnt have to proving to other that he was a hard worker), as father, (he gives ALL four of our girls at one time a horse ride up 2 flights of stairs for bed-i have pictures!!), as a husband (is always telling me im his whole existence) and as a friend (is more concerned about how they are doing then anything else EVEN in the state he is in right now)...
what a priviledge it is for me to be married to this man...as someone once told me.."when i think of what Jesus Christ would be like..i think of Jon Hales"-what a wonderfully kind thing to say- thank you...
