To know Tyler was to love him. He was kind, huge-hearted, incredibly smart, wildly creative, and blessed with the best laugh in the world – the kind of laugh that made everyone around him start laughing, usually because Tyler had already cracked himself up first. He was truly the man, the myth, and the legend.

Tyler had a gift for bringing people together. He never turned down a good time, loved to travel, and found joy in creating memories with the people he loved. Some joked Tyler had nine lives, and he lived every one of them his own way – fully, fearlessly, and surrounded by laughter.

A car enthusiast, an artist at heart, and a competitor who loved a good arm-wrestling challenge – Tyler proudly maintained that he never lost a match – at least not one he would admit to, he was also a proud World Beer Tour Hall of Famer – a perfect refl ection of his dedication to fun, friendship, and making ordinary moments unforgettable. His larger-than-life spirit and contagious energy made him the life of every party.

Tyler was successful in every career path he pursued, especially in sales and marketing, where his personality, creativity, and natural ability to connect with people made him shine. He spent time living in Denver and Chicago before making Henderson, Nevada, his home.

Tyler loved many things in this life, but few more than his dogs, who meant absolutely everything to him. He treasured his family deeply and wore the title of uncle proudly. His nieces and nephews adored him, and “Uncle Tyler” gave them a lifetime of laughs, stories, and memories they will carry forever.

Tyler shared nearly 20 years of life with Becca Stoker, an important chapter filled with memories and a bond that will always remain a meaningful part of his story.

He was blessed with a large and loving family. He is survived by his parents, Crystal and Marty Jones and Gary and Carol Stoker; and his brothers, Lance (Molly) Stoker and their children Jaxson, Brayden, and Dominic, Damon (Noelle) Stoker and children Emma and Talen Stoker and Riley Monk, Brock (Ashley) Stoker and their daughter Kaylee, Haydn (Sidney) Jones and their daughter Maggie, and Hunter (Danaka) Davis.

He is also survived by his uncle, Troy “Unk” (Shauna) Stoker, Nick and family, along with many extended family members and friends who loved him dearly.

Tyler also held a special place in the hearts of Tom, Kyle, and Aaron, whose friendships and memories meant so much throughout his life.

He was welcomed home by those who passed before him, including his beloved Nana, Faye Davis, who passed away May 11, 2026; and grandparents Frankie and Rosemary Stoker.

Tyler’s legacy is impossible to summarize because Tyler was impossible to duplicate. He was laughter, loyalty, adventure, a good story, a cold “blue mountain” and a reason for people to come together. His heart, humor, unforgettable laugh, and legendary spirit will live on forever in everyone lucky enough to have known him.

A celebration of Tyler’s life will be announced at a later date. Condolences and memories may be shared at youngsfunerals.com.
