With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of John Everett Tyler Eaker, who left this world at the age of 39, on November 4, 2025 . Tyler was a beloved husband, son, brother, family member, and friend whose presence brought warmth, laughter, and light into the lives of those who knew him.
Born on November 13 1985, Tyler grew up with a spirit full of curiosity, kindness, and resilience. His heart was big, and he was the kind of person who showed up - whether someone needed a helping hand, or just someone to listen. He loved deeply and without hesitation.
Tyler will be remembered for his humor, his stubborn strength, and his way of making others feel seen. He had a unique way of turning ordinary moments into memories - a joke shared on the porch, a late-night talk, a smile that could pull someone out of a hard day.
He is survived by his loving wife, Stephanie, and their two beautiful children, Caiden and Serenity, Tyler also leaves behind his mother, Donna Jones, and his siblings Brandy, Adam and Christina ,along with Brandy's husband Joshua, and his niece Elizabeth, Aunt's Nene and VIckie, several cousins and other relatives and many many friends who will carry his memory forward. He is preceded in death by his brother Michael David, father Mike and grandmother Charlene.
Though his time here was far too short, the impact of his love and presence will stay with us always. We find comfort in knowing that his spirit continues on - free, at peace, and wrapped in the love that surrounds him still.
May his memory be a blessing, and may we honor him by living with the same compassion and heart he showed to others.
