He loved dogs and especially enjoyed taking them on long walks.

Rest in paradise our beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew and cousin who was taken sooner than anyone could have imagined at the young age of 20 years old.  Tyler was always in good spirits with his unforgettable smile that will never be forgotten.  He will always be in our hearts!
