Tyler Jake Nelson

12.6.86-5.10.26

Tyler is, simply put, one of the good ones.

He is the kind of man who makes people feel seen the moment they are around him. Steady, humble, and genuinely kind, Tyler carries a quiet strength that draws people in. He does not need to be the loudest in the room to be known. His presence speaks for itself. He listens well, laughs easily, and has a quick wit that could light up any room. Being around Tyler just felt good.

Tyler loves the simple, meaningful things in life. He loves being at home with his family, sitting around the table, sharing meals, laughing, and soaking in moments many people overlook. He loves time with friends, good conversation, and humor that shows up at just the right time. And if you knew Tyler, you knew he loved golf. It was never just about the game. It was about being outside, being together, and making memories.

More than anything, Tyler loves his family. He is a devoted husband to Shannon and a deeply proud and present dad to Mila, Max, and Miller. He leads with love and shows up consistently. The life he built with them is what he treasures most.

At his core, Tyler is a man of faith. He loves God wholeheartedly and has lived his life anchored in that truth. His faith is something you see in the way he loves people, the way he leads his family, and the way he has walked through every season with strength, humility, and trust.

We claim total victory in Tyler’s life.

Even in the hardest season, Tyler has remained who he has always been. Faithful. Grounded. Full of love. His story is not defined by illness, but by the way he has lived and the way he has pointed others toward hope and truth.

Tyler’s legacy will live far beyond his earthly journey. It will live on through his children, through the family he built, and through the countless people who have come to know Christ because of him.

Tyler’s life is a reminder of what matters most. Love God. Love people. Be present. Live with intention.

If you have been impacted by him, you already know there is something special about Tyler.

That impact will continue, far beyond this moment.
