In Loving Memory of Tyler Hetherington.

It is with broken hearts that we share the sudden loss of our beloved Tyler, who passed away at just 22 years old.

He was a cherished son, a protective and loving brother to his five siblings, and a friend who brought laughter and kindness into the lives of everyone who knew him.

His passing has left our family in unimaginable pain and shock.

As we prepare to honor his life, we also want to honor his struggle. Tyler’s story is tragically one that too many young people face today. Mental health challenges and suicide are taking far too many lives far too soon. We hope that in sharing our heartbreak, we can also raise awareness and encourage more conversations about mental health, compassion, and the importance of reaching out—for ourselves and for one another.

No family should have to endure this kind of loss, and we believe that by shining a light on these issues, we can help others find hope and support.

We are asking for help with funeral and memorial costs to give Tyler the farewell he deserves. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward covering these expenses and creating a memorial to keep his memory alive. Any left over will be donated to mental health awareness.

We are deeply grateful for the love, prayers, and kindness from community during this devastating time.

Please keep Tyler and all families touched by suicide in your thoughts. Together, we can work to break the silence, support one another, and bring more awareness to mental health in young people.

With love and gratitude,


Yolanda and family x
