Honoring Tyler: Celebration of Life Fund

With unimaginable heartbreak, we share the passing of Tyler Bartlett, our beloved son, brother, boyfriend, and friend, at just 25 years old. Tyler was truly one of a kind. He lived every day with kindness, laughter, and a deep love for the people around him. He was a bright light in all our lives and a beautiful reflection of Jesus’ love.

Tyler brought joy through the little things—playing Fortnite with friends, watching One Piece, or cuddling up with his dog Ernie and his cats Miso and Hazel. He loved deeply and wholeheartedly, especially his girlfriend Gianna, his parents Sue and Cary, and his younger brother Carson. His love for them, and for all of us, was unwavering.

Even in his passing, Tyler continues to give. Through the incredible gift of organ donation, Tyler gave four of his organs to save the lives of three people. It was the ultimate act of love, perfectly reflecting the way he lived: selflessly and compassionately.

We are now preparing a Celebration of Life to honor Tyler in the most beautiful and meaningful way possible. If you feel led, we humbly ask for your support in helping cover the expenses for this celebration and related costs. No amount is too small, and every donation will go directly toward remembering Tyler with the dignity, joy, and love he deserves.

If you’re unable to give financially, we simply ask that you hold Tyler’s family and loved ones in your prayers. Your support, in any form, means more than words can express.

Thank you for loving Tyler. Thank you for helping us honor his extraordinary life.

With love and gratitude,

The Bartlett & Montella Family
