He was my sons baseball coach and he was always willing to go out of his way to help out the kids on the team. My thoughts and prayers go out to Ty Marlin and his family.

Please know that your family is in our thoughts & prayers. Ty was a great person, my son looked up to him. He will be truly missed.

This is why "children" should not be hunting, they don't need to know how to shoot a gun and kill an animal at that age. Now a man is gone and that boy will never be the same, cause they had to hunt. unreal..I can't believe the mother let her husband take her sons hunting. i would't allow it. why would you want your little boys killing animals.

[DALE JR]

wow thats terrible.
cannot believe that could happen!
send regards to the family,
and pray for better comings!

How tragic. Prayers to the family. God help that boy to understand it was an accident and not carry guilt for the rest of his life.

[Mandy]

Our entire family would like extend our condolences to the family of Mr. Marlin. Coming from a family who hunts together with our children regularly this is very hard to hear about. We all know the risks we take when we go into the field, no matter what the age of the hunter, accidents can and do happen sometimes. God Bless.

[The Manhard Family]

Ty and his family have been in our baseball family for years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Marlin family.

Lay off the mother! She is someone I work with and I cannot imagine the hell she is going through right now as it is. What happened is a tragedy and your comments about whether or not children should hunt are not appropriate. Show a little bit of sympathy!! Would you want someone to be saying things like you have said if something about your family?

[A friend]

I meant to say if something like this happened with your family.

You are an idiot! Why would you post a cruel comment like that when there is a family, two communities and friends grieving right now. Don't let the kids touch glass - it might break; don't ride in a car - it might wreck; don't use a knife - it might slip; don't play sports - they might get hurt and the list goes on. If you can't express compassion, keep your mouth shut!

My thoughts and prayers go to the family. I will say a special prayer for the young man, and ask God to send the angels to surround them all.

What a horribly tragic accident. I feel so sorry for the family, but more so for the teen son who will carry so much guilt with him for the rest of his life. I hope that he will open himself up to realize that it was a horrible, horrible accident. One thing is for sure, I am almost certain neither of those boys will touch a gun ever again... Not only did this man's wife lose her husband, but she, in some ways, has lost the son she knew. May God be with them all and grant them the strength to get through all of this.

Such a sad story....My heart goes out to the family.

so very sorry for your loss, and the poor boy, thoughts and prayers for everyone.
