"You were a good one Tyler, I remember when my daughter called you, and you were walking in the other direction but heard a little girls voice asking for an autograph, you came over to her and signed her ball," someone else wrote. "You were a Class Act... May you rest peacefully and my prayers and condolences to your family."

At this moment, no one can accept this horrible tragedy, but you will not keep crying forever," another fan said.

Don't worry, your wife will be taken care of by your sweet family," the fan added. "We believe that one day, you will guide your friends and Angels' family to a better place. Thank you very much for being so nice to Shohei, we sincerely appreciate your friendship."
