CREDIT TK Deb Breese Tyler and Tim Tyler vividly remember the day they learned their 7-year-old cousin, Kobey Bonin, was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: a genetic disorder characterized by the progressive loss of muscle. “We wondered, what will his little life be like?” Deb says. “But when we see his life now and all the avenues that are open to him, it’s amazing. There’s nothing he can’t do, besides walk.” Now a 2021 OSU alumnus, Kobey served as a resident assistant in Weatherford Hall, where accessibility could be a challenge. Inspired by his resiliency and his parents’ unwavering support, the Tylers planned an estate gift to create a new endowment, making funds available to quickly address accessibility issues as they arise — so future students with disabilities can focus on their college experience.
