Tyler Don Davis
was born March 15, 1984, 11:56 pm at Ketchikan General Hospital.
He weighed 9 pounds 2 ounces, 21 inches long. Son of Clark and
Sheri Davis, and brother to Keith Davis who was one and a half years
older. Tyler started crawling when he was 6 months old, and
walking close to 9 months. He was a very active child, and began
to run the same time he could walk, running all around. Tyler
would escept from his mother and run around the mall, causing his
mother and his older brother much grief.
2 years old
At two years old Tyler's favorite movie was Walt Disney's Robin Hood. He would watch out the window for Keith to return home from preschool. A month after Tyler's second birthday he moved with his family from the Carlanna area to 15 miles north of town on Knudson Cove Rd. This was when Tyler went from being a city slicker to a country boy.
3 years old
At age three Tyler began preschool at Point Higgins with Mrs. Hill as his teacher. Tyler also got a new baby brother named Lane. Now there were three brothers - Keith, Tyler, and Lane.
Keith Lane Tyler
Preschool
Tyler went to his second year of preschool at Clover Pass when he was four.
Kindergarten
In his first year of elementary school he remembers playing with big blocks and making a tunnel, which the kids could crawl through, playing with the dress up clothes and in the sand box. He met some of his best friends in that class and remains good friends with them today. His Kindergarten teacher was Kathy Brown.
1st Grade
In the first grade Tyler had Mrs. Hargraves. This is where he was introduced to addition and some subtraction. Tyler learned about kick ball and liked playing it very much.
2nd Grade
Tylers teacher in second grade was again Mrs. Hargraves not due to his I.Q. but simply the teacher wanted to start teaching second graders instead of first graders. This year Tyler began playing soccer for KYSL, and joined the Cub Scouts.
3rd Grade
Tyler enjoyed the third grade thanks to Mr. O'Hara who taught him science, how to write stories, and the skills of playing chess. Tyler would always play his friend Jay Miller a game of Chess during free time and they were even brave enough to challenge the teacher from time to time.
4th Grade
In the 4th grade Tyler began the worst part of his school life ever, grammar. He was introduced to doing times table tests to see how many problems he could do in a minute. Tyler was voted to be one of the judges in the class who would settle problems between students.
5th Grade
The fifth grade was a very active year for Tyler between building model rockets, kites, and machine building. Tyler started playing the clarinet in band and participated in soccer, and Cub Scouts. Mr. Connelly was one of Tyler's all time favorite teachers. He loved playing kick ball, base ball and four square with him.
6th Grade
Tyler's last year in elementary school was hard but very fun. Tyler joined Boy Scouts (Troop 3). At the end of the year the teachers would challenge the 6th graders to a game of kick ball. The out come is still debatable but I believe we won. The 6th graders also had a water fight on the last day of school. The principal and 6th grade teachers would also participate.
7th/8th Grade
Tyler began 7th grade in 1996 and moved on to 8th in 1997. Tyler enjoyed shop and playing soccer in P.E. He made the all-star team for KYSL soccer playing forward and midfield positions.
In 8th grade Tyler moved from playing the clarinet to playing the bass clarinet. Tyler became interested in running. He could run a mile in 6.30 at the beginning of seventh grade. In eighth grade he could run a 6.00 mile.
HIGH SCHOOL
Freshman Year
When 9th grade came along Tyler became less interested in running and started playing soccer every chance he could. He still played for KYSL and in the winter played indoor soccer (a newly started program that year). Some other soccer lovers in the school and Tyler started working on getting a high school soccer team going. By the end of the year they did and Tyler played mostly right forward for the Kayhi Varsity Soccer team.
Tyler took Concert Band and Drafting for his two electives and did well in both of them. Tyler participated in pep band and had a great time playing at the Southeast Basketball Tournament in Juneau.
Sophomore Year
Junior Year
Tyler continued being very involved with coaching soccer. He coached both indoor and outdoor youth soccer this year. Tyler's new love of the year was Production Tech. Class. He participated in the audio department learning all of the ways to make sweet music.
Tyler first big summer job was this year. He worked on the Fishing Vessel Teasha. He was a deck hand on the seine boat and that summer he learned that jelly fish stings don't burn nearly as much after the hundredth or so time being stung.
BIG BAD SENIOR YEAR!
Still very much interested in Architecture Tyler's favorite class was drafting. He won third place for his design of a library. He plans to go to college in washington, live with his Grandparents, and attend Centralia College for two years. One of his favorite memories as a senior was playing soccer with all of his friends for K-Hi.
The summer after his senior year was spent working for Croy Construction in Angoon Alaska.
Centralia College
Freshman Year Again
Centralia College, not a big school but a taste of what college is like. Tyler took mostly business courses his first year. He felt that business would be a promising profession to work towards. He participated in the clubs Rotaract and DECA. As a part of this club he had the opportunity to travel to Bellingham Washington, for state competition, and then to National competition in Orlando Florida. His favorite part of the trip to Florida was definitely Universal Studios roller coasters.
Another achievement of Tyler's this year was working with the Veteran Memorial Museum and designed a perspective of their possible new building. He also worked at the Helly Hansen Outlet in Centralia.
His summer work after his freshman year was amazing. He worked for R&M Engineering. The best part about this job is that he got to work with his best bud Jay everyday.
Second Year College Student
This year Tyler realized that a business degree alone would not provide the types of jobs he was interested in. So he decide to just work towards his Associate in Arts degree until he can fully decide upon another possibility. Classes mostly consisted of Englishs, sciences, humanities, and social sciences.
The summer job that Tyler picked up this year was working for Dolly's Trolley selling tickets on the docks to tourists. He sold tickets for totem parks, charter fishing, Misty Fjords boat tours and Sea Plane Tours.
Third Year At A Two Year School
Since the first year at Centralia college was spent feeling out his possible interest in business, Tyler needed another two quarters to finish up his A.A. But the first year did not all go to waste. Tyler decided that he still was interested in business but would satisfy it by becoming a teacher. This year he decided that when he finished with C.C. he would transfer to Central Washington University and study in Business Education. His big challenge this year was trying to obtain residency status for his transfer to CWU.
In the making!
