Dennis Wade Tyler, of Marcellus, Michigan, passed away on September 3, 2025, at the age of 71. He was born on November 7, 1953, and lived a life filled with stories, laughter, and love for his family.

Those who knew Dennis will remember his humor and the happiness he found in simple pleasures. Whether he was under the hood of a car, adding to his collection of model cars, enjoying his recent hobby of drawing, or watching his favorite shows, he brought a sense of ease and enjoyment to life.

Dennis shared 28 years of marriage with his late wife, Zona Masaye "Masa" Tyler. Together they built a blended family filled with love, raising their children and watching their family grow through the years. Their home was always a place of laughter, stories, and strong family bonds.

He is survived by his children, Jennifer Tyler, Dennis Roy Tyler, Timothy Tyler, Lisa Hull, Robert Tyler, Joshua Tyler, and Gary Tyler; his grandchildren; and many extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly. He is preceded in death by his wife, Masaye, and his sons, Gideon and Jacob.

In keeping with his wishes, cremation is being conducted. A private family ceremony will take place at a later date. Condolences and memories may be expressed to this family at eickhofffuneralhome.com

Those who knew Dennis will carry with them fond memories of his humor, his passions, and the many stories he shared.
