Tyler Hewitt Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jun. 15 to Jun. 16, 2009.
HEWITT , Tyler Joseph Richard September 12, 1982 - June 11, 2009 It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Tyler. Life is so short for some, as it was for him, passing at the age of 26 years. He was doing what he loved to do. Tyler grew up in the Millarville area and was always a person that loved to push the envelope in any activity, give me a challenge was his motto. In his words "Just a chill guy who is out to have a good time with his friends and family - GO REALLY BIG OR REALLY FAST." He achieved his private pilot license while with the Foothills 187th Air Cadet Squadron at 17. His passions were skiing and motor cycling which he and his brother both started at an early age. His love of skiing brought him to teach at Wintergreen and Canada Olympic Park. In 2007, Tyler joined Nestle Canada and found a whole new life and career ahead of him which he looked forward to. Tyler is survived by his parents, Carol and Tom; his brother and sister-in-law, Travis and Tanis and their daughter Janna; Aunt Lil and Uncle Tony Olivieri; cousins, James (Nancy), Adrianna and Anthony; and his godmother Agnes Ball. He will be sadly missed by all his family and many friends. He was predeceased by his grandparents, Viola and Joseph Richard and Robert and Eileen Hewitt, cousin Adrian Olivieri, and his godfather Arthur Ball. Those wishing to pay their respects may do so at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY'S Park Memorial Chapel (5008 Elbow Drive S.W.) on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Funeral Services will be held at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY'S Park Memorial Chapel (5008 Elbow Drive S.W.) on Thursday, June 18, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. Forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com .

Tom and Carol,

If only we could turn back time...

My thoughts are with you as you relive the loss of your son Tyler a year ago.
He has been such an influence in my life and the Nestle Alberta team in Calgary. He gave us the challenge of 'GOING BIG' and to have fun doing it. I have worked with Nestle for 11 years and Tyler was a breath of fresh air. He impressed me with his zest for life and of course, his humour. He was probably one of the finest young men I have ever met. I think of him often and am frustrated that he was taken from us at such a young age. He had so much life to give that the only thing I can think of is, that he was here with us to show us that life "IS" too short and you have to live each day to the fullest.I know Tyler did.

I miss him and have not forgotten the special young man he was.

Sinecerly, Glynis Husson (Nestle Canada)

Thank you for making Tyler such a successfull man in life. He truely was the greatest "big brother" anyone could have ever asked for. Tomorrow will be the one year since he passed away, I can't imagine the pain you two are going through. I wish that i could somehow change what happend. To help you and the rest of his friends and family get through this. Losing Tyler has not been an easy road for any of us. Tyler is Free now. Whenever it is raining, and the rainbow fallows. Just think. Tyler is making the sky beautiful for you guys.
Miss you forever Tyler. Iloveyou

Thank you for being the most important part in Tyler's life. You were a huge influence, and he turned out amazing, because of you. He was loving, kind, nurturing, funny, and list goes on. He will be dearly missed. We all have a guardian angel, he will be working overtime with all of us... just the way he would have liked it.

Stay strong.

Thank you for creating a new family Tyler, it is because of you.

Love Always,

Tyler was an amazing young man who had life by the tail. It was an honor to work with Tyler, laugh and smile the whole time doing it. Nothing was ever too much to ask, he worked hard and played hard. He will be missed and his spirit will be with us always.

To The Hewitt Family,

I was friends with Tyler in cadets and every moment around him at cadets and out and about was always a moment smiling and laughing. He was a true shining star on a dark Night... He is loved and will surely be missed.

Somewhere, under a bluer sky, In a higher realm than where eagles fly, In a land of beauty beyond our knowing, with trees and flowers and waters flowing, and mountains of unearthly grace, Our loving lord has made a place... and one day through a opening door, We will find that glorious evermore.

Our hearts our broken....
May God Comfort You.
