Tyler Eckert Obituary
Tyler Michael Eckert passed away on Thursday, December 9, 2021 at the age of 31. Born on April 2, 1990 in West Chester, PA to Connie Hoffnagle (Duffy) and Edward Eckert Jr. On March 3, 2018 he became the cherished husband to Victoria Eckert (Healy).
Throughout his life, Tyler was surrounded by love and leaves behind his loving mother and stepfather, Connie Hoffnagle (Duffy) and Eric Hoffnagle; his father and father’s better half, Ed Eckert Jr. and Heather Ringkamp, and his adoring paternal grandparents, Ed and Kathy Eckert. Tyler was a devoted sibling to his sister Riley and brothers Edward, Evan, Brad, and Ryan. He was the adoring uncle to his nieces Riley and Addison. In the true Irish way, he was rich with many fun-loving aunts, uncles, cousins, (the legendary Duffy Clan), and his extended Healy family. Tyler was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Joseph and Shirley Duffy.
Instilled in Tyler was an ‘all-or-nothing’ mentality that truly made him one of a kind, and the only kind for his wife, Victoria. Tyler was rooted in his hometown and proud to be. This bled through in both his personal and professional life. The personal – battling his love/hate relationship with the Eagles that caused him a few gray hairs, and refusing to miss an XPN music fest regardless of the unforgiving Philly weather. Although Tyler’s professional title read Project Manager/Estimator, his true bio is Proud Godfather to Riley.
Authentic, almost to a fault, Tyler had the power to make an entire room cackle or cringe – a personality that could not be tamed regardless of the setting. He was a life-long learner and catalyst for action; this was achieved by his insatiable drive and impeccable organization. Tyler was a creator, curator, and a caregiver to all… and made us all chuckle at least once.
Please join us in the celebration of Tyler's life which will begin with a viewing at the Mauger-Givnish Funeral Home, 24 Monument Avenue, Malvern, PA 19355 on Friday evening, December 17, 2021 from 6:00-8:00 PM.

Valentine’s Day was especially hard this year without Tyler, whose presence was always felt in any room and in any company. He made sure you knew and felt his love. This year I was reminded through shared memories, pictures and stories of how Tyler did this, not just for me but for my friends and family. You may be lucky enough to know what an incredibly thoughtful (and funny) gift giver he was. I will spend every day feeling so lucky to know his greatest gift, Tyler’s love.

I am very fortunate to have gotten to know Tyler through making a tattoo for him. This story always makes me laugh, and I think he got a laugh out of it too. He stopped in the shop for a consultation for an absolutely enormous entire back tattoo, and most likely due to him being super confident, I assumed he had a lot of tattoos. Several consults later, the day had arrived and it was time to start the tattoo. To my complete surprise, Tyler had a small tattoo on his chest and that was it. This poor guy was looking down the barrel of hours and days of tattooing. Still with a smile on his face, unaware of what hell was coming his way. Every session was an absolute pleasure, and Tyler was a total joy to have in the studio. Someone who would open right up to you, completely honest, and hysterically blunt. I knew early on that he was someone special, when Victoria had called him during the second session, and while I was grilling his back with a shader, he says, “Oh yeah, me and Billy are going to get to know each other real well by the end of this,” and looked back and winked. I really appreciate being able to encounter someone like Tyler, always calling Victoria during breaks just to check in and say hello. The definition of a thoughtful and considerate person. His genuine openness is always going to be what I think about, whether it was a him asking you question that was remarkably personal in the first hour of conversation, or knowing that Tyler asked questions like that because he actually wanted to know. Thanks for everything Tyler, and my heart goes out to Victoria, his family, and his friends.

It’s been 20 days since Tyler’s passing and we have felt his absence everyday. I hope Tyler has made you laugh in this time, the same way he has made me. Not sure if you saw the Eagles play on Sundaybut I couldn’t help but laugh thinking of him reacting to that game. 20 has always been a special number to us. Our first date was December 20th. I met him when I was 20. He probably taught me 20 new things a weekand still made time to complete a 20 item to-do list everyday. We have matching Roman numeral 20 tattoos! He was incredible and there is nothing that makes me happier or more proud than being able to call him my husband.
I hope today and the days after you remember the times Tyler made you laugh, the times he made you think and the times he made you feel loved. These were some of his top skills and favorite things to do.

Eckert,
You’re going to be severely missed. So many great memories growing up in the neighborhood bro. Never forget the Dispatch concert we went to in Newark, NJ! Life piles on and the times fell far and few between through the years, but each one of those times lives on through so many of us and I’m grateful to have known you. Much love brother! —Shark
