“The senior class of 2022 just lost it’s second classmate this school year, so they’re going through an especially difficult time,” says Dr. Jennifer Brown, superintendent, Early County Schools.
Inspiration, believer, and optimist are a few words classmates and others across Blakely use to describe Tyler Jermaine Winns. “He was always just an exceptional young man,” Dr. Brown. “He was very quiet, reserved, but always respectful and conscientious about his work.”“Every time I saw Tyler, he always came to speak to me,” says Dr. Brown. “He would give me a hug, ask me how I’m doing, and make sure to tell me he was doing well also.”“He was an encouragement to everyone, especially to his friends, and that carried through to the end of his life,” says Dr. Brown.
During their time of sorrow, the Winns are thanking family, the Early County School System and others who have supported them every step of the way.
