In June of 2000, Tyler moved with his mom and sister to Shelby, where he attended Shelby Grade School and Middle School. He recently moved to Jordan to live with his dad.

Tyler loved music and played the drums in school. He was very athletic, with a love of all sports. He tried everything, and enjoyed them all. He was active in wrestling, basketball, football, golf, skiing, hunting and shooting sports. Tyler had a genuine heart, with a love for everyone whom he came across. He enjoyed visiting with friends and family, and had a smile that could light up a room.

If friends should desire, memorials may be made to the charity of one's choice.
