Farewell to Tyshon Dye: Former Tiger JK Jay writes heartfelt tribute

Former Clemson running back Tyhson Dye passed away a week ago and his memorial service was held in his hometown of Elberton, Ga., Saturday afternoon. Head coach Dabo Swinney and running backs coach Tony Elliott each spoke in the service, which was held with a standing room only crowd in attendance.

Former Clemson offensive lineman JK Jay wrote a heartfelt tribute to Dye after the service, and what he wrote is a poignant reminder of not only what we've lost, but what heaven has gained. JK graciously allowed us to post his words:

May you be gracious enough to take the time to read this.
