Tyler loved 3 things, family, friends and tacos. Growing up in Edmonton with his cousins Christopher, Gregory and Weston in the early years was the best by far. Teenage years were spent in Calgary where he made lifetime friends that became family Ryley, Sean and Jeremy.

Tyler was a force to be reckoned with, if you knew him you know what I mean. He was extremely talented at woodworking, framing homes and operating any type of heavy equipment. Through his 20’s and early 30’s that is how he made a living. All the friends and coworkers he met along his travels he truly loved them all. If it was his turn to cook dinner you knew it was a feast of tacos. Next time you have a taco remember that beautiful smile of his.
