Tyler Sapp Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 14, 2023.
Tyler David Sapp, son of Heather Marie Langford and the late David Greenlaw Sapp, was born on November 16, 1989, in Provo, Utah, left this world unexpectedly on November 13, 2023, in Los Angeles, California.

Tyler was a soul deeply connected to the rhythm of life, with a profound love for music. A self-taught musician, he mastered the guitar and keyboard, pouring his heart into the creation of countless songs. He was in various bands that played live gigs and had recordings in high school and shortly after. He also deejayed at various clubs in Utah eventually embarking on solo song projects.

His musical talents were so remarkable that he was under contract with PML Records and posting training videos and reviews for Unison Audio at the time of his death - a testament to the depth and originality of his compositions. Tyler attended Viewmont High School and the University of Utah, majoring in film and entertainment arts. He also attended the Salt Lake DJ & Production School, studying audio engineering, mixing/mastering, music production, sound design, sound engineering, and live deejaying. He had recently found a new passion for and had become very talented in digital art.

Tyler was a passionate, thoughtful, fun, and very caring soul, yet he faced a personal struggle with addiction throughout much of his life. In the midst of these challenges, he often chose to confront his demons alone. His journey was marked by both triumphs and tribulations, a testament to the complexity of the human experience.

Tyler was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents John A Langford, Jr. and Marie Gay Langford and father, David Sapp, whom he will be interned next to as a way to honor their bond. He is survived by his mother Heather Marie Langford and his sister Brittany Marie Sapp Brimley. And also by his paternal grandparents, Edwin and Ellagene Sapp, of Owings, Maryland.

A private memorial will be held at a later date.

Tyler was such a decent, kind man. We went to school together for 6 years, and although I didn´t get to know him too well, he was always so incredibly friendly to me. I´m sad I didn´t get the chance to thank him, it meant so much to me at a low point in my life. I think we saw the pain in each other´s eyes. I´m so incredibly sorry for your loss. You´re free now, brother.

I met Tyler while working at IHG years ago. When I first saw him there was something about him that made me instantly want to know him. Over the years he became one of my most loyal and caring friends. His beautiful soul and magnetic energy was felt by so many and he´ll be missed dearly. My condolences to his family. I´m so sorry you´re having to go through this.

We first met Tyler in line at a Nine Inch Nails performance in 2008. His enthusiasm and passion for music instantly resonated with us and we became quick friends. My condolences to his family and child and I'm sorry we lost him.
