Tyler's Obituary

March 18, 2002 – December 21, 2017

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our dear son and brother, Tyler Dan Rempel.  He is lovingly remembered and cherished by his parents, Jake and Lisa, sister, Angeline; grandparents; treasured family and friends. Tyler’s arrival into our family was welcomed with great joy and gratitude. Tyler accepted Jesus Christ into his life at an early age and was baptized at the age of 14. He was never afraid to talk about his belief in Jesus Christ. Tyler had a compassionate heart, and he was always very concerned and sensitive to other people’s feelings.  

As a baby, Tyler was content and happy from the start, and his older brother was so proud of him. Tyler could spend hours entertaining himself, but always lit up with joy when his brother would come join him in his games. Tyler learned to read on his own before kindergarten and loved researching and learning about things that he was interested in. He loved technology and built his first computer when he was twelve years old. Tyler was very clever and had a great sense of humour, and in grade 6 was voted the funniest student in his class. Although he often appeared serious, he could have the entire room laughing at his witty remarks.

When he was eight years old, Tyler was in a farming accident. This experience was very important to Tyler and strengthened his faith in God. Although he was accidently run over by a truck, he sustained no major injuries. In the last six months, Tyler had started showing an interest in the family farm and talked about one day farming with his dad. Although Tyler had not previously considered the idea of farming, he recently started to show more interest in the business side of the industry.

In the last year, Tyler began to spend more time with his sister, Angeline, helping her with homework and showing her how to use her new devices. He recently made a comment to a friend saying he wished it was as easy to talk to everyone as it was with his sister. Tyler and Angeline often spent time chatting and teasing each other and had formed a special bond after having lost their brother, Roderick, whom they both loved dearly. Tyler will be greatly missed each and every day, but we are comforted with the knowledge and assurance that he is now reunited with his brother, forever surrounded by the love of his Lord and Saviour. John 14: 1-4
