He graduated from Mattawan High School, class of 2010, and attended KVCC with special interests in music theory and philosophy.

He worked at The Salvation Army where he loved to strike up conversations with customers about their unusual or antique finds. Tyler loved all genres of music and art, he played the acoustic guitar beautifully. He loved concerts and museums. Loved to travel - anywhere and everywhere.
