Yang had said that Summer had been Tai's lover back in volume 2.

There hasn't been a moment for Tai to bring up Summer in the short time he has had on the show.

In that hallucination he was talking to Tai "Qrow: Tai. She's not... coming... (grunting in pain) Tai. ." And again back in volume 2 Yang mentioned how Tai shutdown after Summer's death. So he was very distraught over her death. And of course Qrow would be distraught over the death of a close friend.
