He was proceeded in death by his grandfather Doug Cole, and his uncles Bobby Morin and Tim Cole. Loved by all that knew him, Tyler was the highlight of numerous lives. Many special memories were made while growing up in Milton, where they continued on through his graduation from Fife High School. Spending time with his family and friends was very important to Tyler, he was always there with a loving ear to listen. Any one of his friends would tell you that he was there for them in their time of need, and he never failed to make them laugh. Tyler had many hobbies including video games, movies, camping, quading, and boating. One thing that always brought him joy was his animals. His kitten named "Baby" and his Border Collie named "Kitty" were always at his side. Tyler always felt very proud of his mother's native american background, and was looking forward to following in his father's footsteps as a longshoreman at the Port of Tacoma. He spent his life side by side his brother and friend Gaven, whom he would have done anything for. A love for people and an appreciation for the world around him showed us that he was learning, loving and growing each and every day. Tyler will be missed not only for who he was, but for what he helped us to become. We are better for knowing him, and are forever grateful. We have peace in knowing that he was taken to be an Angel and an Elder to watch over us all. Tyler's cousin Ryan Marchand has composed a song in memory of Tyler which he sings on his myspace page.
