Tyler James Greer

Tyler James GREER July 08, 1972 ~ December 21, 2011 With great sadness, the family and friends of Tyler James Greer, mourn his sudden and unexpected passing, due to heart attack, on December 21st. He was a happy baby and a proud big brother to Travis, born just two and a half years later. Tyler enjoyed playing baseball, basket ball and soccer. But from the early age of 6, Tyler wanted to go fishing. This became his lifelong passion, and his fishing buddies, his lifelong friends. Growing up in Lake Washington's Sheridan Beach neighborhood provided many opportunities to fish. Tyler, Travis and their friends spent much time swimming in the lake, boating, and water-skiing. Tyler even had a Seattle Times paper route and was often 'assisted' by the family cocker spaniel, Sophie. His early years were highlighted by boat trips to RocheHarbor and visiting Grandma and Grandpa Greer in Hawaii. In fact, it was on a boat trip to Wallace Island where, Tyler, age 8, first got "hooked"on the sport of fishing, from Birch Bay, and eventually, to Neah Bay. Tyler attended Lake Forest Park Elementary, Kellogg Middle School and Shorecrest High School. Later, Tyler attended Lake Washington Technical College and received his certifi cation as an RV technician. He worked at Roy Robinson RV, where he considered his co-work ers his second family, and fished with them for years. Tyler was an expert salmon fisherman, and he especially loved going to Neah Bay and Westport . Tyler lived to fish!! He is survived by his father, Jim Greer, mother, Linda Eckhart, brother, Travis Greer, and his beloved cocker spaniel, Bailey. Donations may be made to castforkids.org, and Seattle Milk Fund.org.
