Tyler LaRochelle Obituary

Mr. Tyler "TJ" LaRochelle, 32, of Pittsfield passed away July 1, 2021, with his loving family by his side. TJ fought a courageous 2 year battle with Glioblastoma brain cancer. Born in Pittsfield, MA, on February 17, 1989, the son of John Jay (Sandra) and Serene Quetti LaRochelle, he was a 2007 graduate of Taconic High School.

Tyler was a talented landscaper for King and Sons for several years. He took great pride in his work and enjoyed every project he was part of. TJ loved working hard side by side with his best friend, Lance, and watching the end results come to fruition.

Among many things, he loved being outdoors and had an adventurous spirit. TJ enjoyed riding four wheelers, watching his beloved NY Giants, golfing with his brothers and friends, playing poker, watching and talking politics with his sister-in-law, Megan, and playing games with his niece and nephews. Tyler was happiest participating in activities like bowling, collecting leaves, and hiking with his dearest partner, Katey Farrell.

Besides his parents, Tyler is survived by his siblings, Kaylin Choquette (Megan), Kyle LaRochelle, Brett LaRochelle, and Regan LaRochelle. He also leaves behind his nephews, Carter and Troy Choquette, niece, Sydney Choquette, Grandmother, Sandra Quetti, Step Sister Kuri Whitehill, as well as several aunts and uncles and close cousins.

TJ was a quiet man but one that could always be counted on for support and strength. He was adored by his family and will be missed forever.
