The Voss Middle School PTO, staff, students, and families are proud to honor our namesake, Captain Mark Tyler Voss, with a car show fundraiser in our inaugural year. Captain Voss, a 2004 graduate of Boerne High School, had a passion for both cars and planes.  During his sophomore year at BHS, Tyler received his first vehicle, a 1983 Ford Bronco.  He took an automotive course the following summer at St. Phillips College to learn all he could to obtain the skills to work on his new vehicle. On his way to class one day, he encountered a stranded vehicle in a low water crossing and, in true Tyler style, he used his Bronco to rescue the driver from a perilous situation.

​

While a senior at Boerne High, he received his second car, a 1990 Nissan twin-turbo 300ZX. This car became Tyler’s pride and joy, and just like so many other aspects of his life, he put a lot of hard work into it. Shortly before leaving for the Air Force Academy, the engine blew and his parents, Marcy and Wayne, towed the car up to Colorado Springs for him where he spent any free time he had putting it all back together single handedly. He even worked late at night in the Aeronautical Engineering labs machining parts for the car. 

​

It seems there was nothing Tyler couldn’t do once he set his mind to it – whether it was his dedication to serving his country or his hobbies and passions. Whatever he did, he gave his all and we hope to pay tribute to him with this car show in the same way we honor him each day within the halls of our school!  So please join us in celebrating Tyler’s love of cars as we raise funds for the school he is named after and for the Capt. Mark Tyler Voss scholarship fund for BISD students established by his loving family.
