Unhappy N.Y. 8-year-old Saved 6 in Fire, Died Trying to Save 7th!

Absolutely amazing courage from such a young child. May our God rest his soul...

PENFIELD, N.Y. — Tyler J. Doohan knew he didn't have school Monday because of the holiday and asked his mother if it would be OK if he stayed at his grandfather's trailer here.

Tyler knew the place well. He stayed there frequently, playing with other kids in the Rochester, N.Y. suburb and having barbecues and bonfires with his family in the summer.

Firefighters found Tyler's body Monday morning in the back bedroom of that small, single-wide trailer, just a few feet away from the bed of his disabled Uncle Steve. Investigators believe Tyler was trying to save him.

This especially hits close to my heart as I have a just turned 8yr old son.

This boy obviously was raised well and understood the meaning of family and the value of life.

My brother almost died in a trailer home fire. He was saved by a very gutsy volunteer fireman. The courage one needs to run into an inferno like that astounds me.

This kid truly deserves a hero's funeral. What a tragic loss.

This story also tears me up thinking about my boys.

Your avatar is very relevant to this story. The little boy had the heart of a lion.

Here's the links to two donation campaigns for their funeral cost and something to help them with living expenses since the family doesn't have a home anymore.

One was started by a friend of the family, and another one was started by Tyler's aunt.
