He spent many years with a few different companies working his way to his dream roll on big inch pipeline. Throughout those years he made many acquaintances but also many solid friendships, even a bromance or two. He loved spending his days off enjoying the outdoors and was always looking for faster, more powerful to toys to add to his collection. When he wasn’t out finding his next adrenaline rush you could always find him at Iron Nation which was his most powerful outlet. Of course, if not doing those things, he was at home spending time with his family. Even though his time as a father was short, he was the most caring and helpful father anyone could hope for. Every chance he got he proudly bragged of his son Finn. Tyler will always be remembered as a huge hearted, caring, and generous person with a wild streak and a one-of-a-kind humour. His famous saying when he was up to no good was “Wanna see a trick?”, when those words slipped out you knew you were in for a treat.In addition to Brianne and Finn, Tyler is survived by his parents, Kelly Hunter, Sherri Wiese (Dale Klassen) and Dan Ruiz.
