Brother of missing Sioux Falls man speaks out, shares questions

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - The Sioux Falls community continues to question why a man walked out of his home and vanished on September 4th. As police ask for any possible tips to get called in for investigation, Tyler Weathersby’s brother tells us about him, his dreams and life in Sioux Falls.

Gregory Weathersby wants you to know that his younger brother Tyler is more than just a news story of a missing man in Sioux Falls. He’s also a father, a son, a husband and a brother.

“Tyler is ambitious. Tyler is all-around creative,” said Gregory.

When Tyler was just a child, older brother Gregory noticed one of his many gifts.

“He could put things together, even when he was younger when he didn’t know how to put things together. He would take things apart and try to put it back together,” said Gregory.

The brothers grew up in a rough part of Chicago

“I saw my brother looking up at me and doing the same things that I was doing, and I wanted to make a change,” said Gregory.

That’s when the two changed their focus for a positive life, and made it to LA to focus on a career in dance.

“Tyler shot all my music videos. Tyler took all my pictures. Tyler did all my branding,” said Gregory.

But a setback sent them back to the Midwest to regroup and then, try again. This time the brothers were in different cities but talked frequently.

“We were in Chicago. He moved back to South Dakota, and he started his own brand. I should have never let him go,” said Gregory.

On September 4th, Tyler left his home.

“Without a phone, without a wallet, without any of his electronics, anything at all like that. That’s not normal,” said Gregory.

Others are claiming Tyler was under extreme emotional stress, but Gregory disagrees.

“Perfectly fine. The days that I talked to him before,” said Gregory.

Gregory and his family have started a GoFundMe for a private investigator and lawyer specializing in missing persons and criminal cases. View the fundraiser here.
