Over the last few years, there has been an alarming rate of young people suddenly collapsing and dying while being relatively healthy. Even some athletes, who are known to be in great physical condition, mysteriously passed away. Sadly, while experts and doctors weigh in on the issue, a senior high school student in Florida was found on the golf course after passing away from what is being considered a heart attack or blood clot. A senior at Holmes County High School, the student, was only 17 years old. According to his family, Tyler Erickson was practicing for an upcoming golf tournament when he never returned home.

Releasing a statement about the passing of his son, Clint Erickson wrote on Facebook, “My son Tyler came home after playing golf and decided after drinking some water and getting hydrated he was going back out on the course. This time he took the golf cart. He looked and seemed pretty normal but was a little exhausted. After talking about his golf game in the driveway, he drove back onto the course, telling me he loved us. That was the last words he spoke to me.”

The father recalled how Tyler Erickson never returned as the day went on. “As the sun started to set, I noticed he hadn’t got back to me, and his mother decided to go look for him. We pulled up the location on the phone and determined he was at hole six near Robin Hood ln. We pulled up and saw the cart but not him. After getting closer, we noticed he was slumped over on the floorboard of the golf cart. His body was lifeless. I pulled him out and gave him CPR as his mom started looking for help. He had already gone to be with his lord and saver. After getting to the hospital, the doctor believes he might have had a heart attack or blood clot. I requested an autopsy.”

Dealing with the death of his son, Clint concluded his statement with, “This is one of those situations you stand back and pray and cry and pray again. I don’t understand why. I just know my Tyler will be missed by his family and friends. Please keep us in prayer.”

One of Tyler’s close friends, Kinsley Cook, gave her sympathy to the family, stating, “My heart goes out to the Erickson family, and I pray for my class that has already experienced so much loss in a matter of months. You were so excited to be able to lead the Florida State Beta Convention as President this winter, and our little show choir group was beyond proud to be right by your side.”

Tyler’s girlfriend, Halee Terry, admitted, “There is so much I have left to say to you, but for now, this will do. I love you.”
