It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Tyler Bartlett, a beloved son, brother, boyfriend, and friend, who left us far too soon at the age of 25. Tyler’s life was marked by his kindness, laughter, and a profound love for everyone around him.

Born and raised in Lake Worth, Florida, Tyler’s roots were deep in the Sunshine State, but he made his home in Tallahassee, where he pursued his studies at Florida State University.

To Tyler, these little moments were what made life truly special, and he cherished every opportunity to create memories with those he loved.
Above all, Tyler’s greatest love was for his family and girlfriend. His bond with his parents, Sue and Cary, was a source of strength and inspiration for him. He was a devoted son, always ready with a laugh or a hug to show his love and appreciation.
As the older brother to Carson, Tyler took on the role of both protector and guide, offering unwavering support and advice whenever it was needed. Tyler’s relationship with his younger brother was one of mutual respect, love, and deep connection, and he was proud to be an older sibling.

Tyler’s ability to say the most unexpected things at the most perfect moments made him unforgettable. He had a way of making everyone around him feel like they were part of something special, like they were seen and valued.
Tyler’s passion for life was contagious. He poured himself into everything he did, whether it was his relationships, his hobbies, or his studies. He had an incredible ability to find joy in the smallest things and made others feel that same sense of wonder and appreciation.
Tyler was gifted in so many ways—his ability to make people laugh, to love without condition, and to bring light into the darkest days. He was not just loved; he was adored. His kindness, humor, and love will forever be remembered and cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
