Tiger was born July 16, 1993, in Fort Worth to Linda Gage Rohus and Rickey Rohus. He attended Lake Country Christian School from which he graduated in 2011. Tiger had numerous hobbies that he enjoyed, such as paintball, wake boarding, snow boarding, dirt bikes and sports, and loved all his cars. Tiger had fought with CF since the day he was born. He was such an amazing person who lived life to the max; even though having cystic fibrosis, you never heard him complain. Tiger has many friends who surrounded his life and saw him as a brother and an inspiration. Throughout Tiger’s battle with CF there was only one person and his best friend whom he couldn’t live without; he always took care of him and was always by his side. They had this unbreakable bond of love and friendship that couldn’t be closer than his father, Rickey Rohus.
He is survived by his father, Rickey Rohus; stepmother, April Rodriguez; fiancee, Sarah Morgan; sisters, Madison Sage and Brandi Norris; godparents, Leon and Brenda Wilkerson; numerous uncles, aunts and cousins, including Paul and Pam Rohus, Marsha Gage and Paul Rodden, Stevie Gage and Terrie Johnson.
