Tyler, is a much-loved 20-year-old son, big brother, grandson, nephew, friend and well loved communty member of Hibiscus Coast was tragically taken far too soon. His passing has left his family heartbroken and facing an incredibly difficult road ahead.

Already stretched thin on a single income, the family is now needing urgent help to cover Tyler’s funeral costs and the immediate needs that come with such a devastating loss.

Tyler had made a childhood promise to his little brother Declan, that once he got his full licence, he would take him on a road trip around the South Island to see seals and penguins. While Tyler is no longer here to make that journey, Declan, Mum and Dad would love to honour that dream in his memory and take Tyler with them in spirit.

This fundraiser will help the family:

Pay for funeral and any expenses with that.

Cover basic costs while navigating grief

Honour Tyler’s promise and memory with a family trip for Declan, taking ty with them.

There are many moments and milestones they will now face without Tyler including Tylers 21st in 4 weeks.

Your support can ease the pressure and help this loving family grieve, heal, and honour their boy with the dignity he deserves.

Every donation — no matter the size — means the world. Thank you for your compassion. 💙
