Tyler was my rack mate in boot camp. He single-handedly gave me the motivation to strive for greatness and finish boot camp as a stronger person than I was before. From eating extra protein bars that my mom sent in the mail (she knew he liked them), to stealing (tactfully acquiring) peanut butter packets during chow, to climbing the reaper together hand in hand, he was always there to motivate me. Tyler’s family and loved ones, I am so sorry for your loss. Tyler, I hope you’re resting well and I can’t wait to see you again. Rest easy brother.
We have lost not just a friend, but a brother in arms. Tyler Patrick Morris was one of the most genuine people I’ve ever known—always bringing smiles, lifting spirits, and reminding us what true friendship means. His kindness, laughter, and loyalty will never be forgotten. Rest easy, brother. We’ll carry you with us always.
I met Tyler in bootcamp, from that first week on we hit it off, definitely got in trouble together during bootcamp because he was always making everyone laugh. Even through one of the hardest things we had done up to that point of our lives he was always happy and ready to crack a joke. We ended up in Okinawa together in the same unit and he was always the same way. Since we left the marines we had only spoke a few times. You will be missed brother.
We were lucky enough to briefly have Tyler as part of our family when he dated our daughter, Lindsey, in 2015-2016. Immediately, he made himself at home and fit right in with our crazy family. All the birthday celebrations, Sunday night dinners and game nights at our house were always better because Tyler was there, with his smile, laugh and sense of humor. The support he and his family gave to us when we lost our own daughter, Samantha, will never be forgotten. To Kim, Brian, Chelsea and Brittany…please know how much our whole family loved Tyler and that you guys are forever in our thoughts and prayers.
I met Tyler in Mrs. Irving’s 2nd grade class at Oakville Elementary. He was my first friend in school and he was the one kid that made sure everyone felt welcomed and included. As the years went on, we’d end up playing against each other on the football fields and man was Tyler a hell of a ball player. If you saw Tyler running at you with a full head of steam, whether it was him carrying the ball or him on defense, you better duck and cover or else you weren’t getting up.
We might not have talked that much these last few years, but one things for certain, that brotherly connection never faded. Rest easy brother, until we meet again!
Man – having the pleasure of knowing Tyler is an absolute blessing. You could be having the worst day and run into any area within a quarter mile of his presence, and you would just know his happy go lucky vibes were running around somewhere.
Knowing you were headed to bootcamp and entering the Marine Corps, I’ll always respect the hell out of the decision you made to take a new leap towards a new journey in life.
The first person you’d want to hug in a room, but the last person you’d want to be lined up across on the football field. I know we grew distant over these years but the memories we shared will last forever my man and my biggest thoughts and prayers go to you and the family and all who shared your company.
Rest easy my man, you will ALWAYS be loved.
Dearest of friends, I am deeply saddened by the death of Tyler. Even though I only met him a few times, I have deep respect for him . He always made me feel comfortable to be around and treated me with the utmost respect. He was a good, nice guy and I always enjoyed his company and was always glad to see him. The words are not flowing in my mind to say how sincerely and deeply saddened I am by the death of Tyler….gone too soon. They say God only gives us what we can handle but boy this is a hard one. I wish I could be there to pay my respects to everyone of you.I have you all in my thoughts and prayers. I love you all. The Morris family has always treated me like I was one of them… that’s one of the reasons why I love this family so much and I feel like part of the family. I will always love you all for that. Tyler made everyone feel like that too! Tyler came from a good crop of people. May you rest in peace Tyler. May God give comfort to those left behind.
With deepest sympathy,
Patty Humphreys
Even though we weren’t close, I’ll miss you. I always admired you and wanted to be like you. When I had seen you enlist in the Marines, I wanted to do the same. I was happy when we had class together in high school. I’ll remember the good times we had in school. I’m very saddened by your passing and I always thought of you as a friend. The world won’t be the same without you Tyler Patrick Morris. I’ll cherish the memories we shared. You had a deep impact on me and I’m grateful to have met you. Praying for your family. You will be greatly missed. May you rest in peace
TMO I love you man. Until we meet again
I knew Tyler briefly and my biggest regret with him is not getting to know him as a friend. He came to our unit at 4th Marines Camp Schwab as a motivated jr marine and always had this smile and you could just tell there was warmth in rooms he touched. Our time together was short as I was leaving that unit but be it PT or field day or SL-3 lay outs or drinking in the barracks it was always good to be around his positive energy. If one can be remembered for just one thing I’m sure he would be happy to know he was remembered for his warmth and compassion as well as many people calling him handsome. This was a beautiful tribute to his life and while I did not know him as intimately as everyone else who was gathered today virtually and in person I can definitely say he touched my life and I feel inspired to be as positive and loving and present as he was to those around him. He will be missed as much as he was appreciated.
Fair winds and following seas brother.
