Tyler Smith

Tyler Harrison Smith came into this world on January 15th, 1970. He passed away un-expectantly on May 14, 2017. Tyler was a tech guy and could fix almost anything. He was a Star Wars fan since he was a little boy. He liked the outdoors and loved to travel. He liked going to New York and eating “mud bugs”. He enjoyed trying new and exotic foods. He would give you the shirt off his back and was always there when you needed him. His laugh was infectious. And he truly loved other people. He could cut a rug with the best of them and was always a “Sharp dressed man.” Tyler was kind, generous and had a great sense of humor. When he was a younger man he was baptized as a Jehovah’s Witness’. Tyler was a cherished member of the East Valley Congregation. Tyler, like his family, believed that Jehovah will awaken those from their memorial tombs to new healthy bodies to be reunited with the people who love them and missed them.
