"Michael Tylo was a beautiful and caring human being — he was so special," Nancy Uscher, Dean of the College of Fine Arts, said in the statement. "He was an exemplary friend, colleague, teacher, and artist. He had such a distinguished and rich career, but he was humble about his accomplishments," she continued.
