Tyler's tale

Tyler Copley, a 19-year-old from Acworth, died Thursday after struggling against Ewing's Sarcoma, an often fatal form of juvenile cancer. Tyler had his leg amputated in an effort to stave off the disease, and had outlived just about anyone's predictions. Here, his mother, Connie, holds Tyler on Tuesday after he awoke disoriented and struggling to breathe. Connie Tyler gave him oxygen and held him until he fell asleep. POUYA DIANAT / pdianat@ajc.com
