Jonathan Tyler Sigler

Born May 28, 1996 Jonathan Tyler Sigler was the son of Ronnie and Elizabeth Sigler of Charles Town. He was a 2014 graduate of Washington High School. Tyler was active in youth sports playing football, baseball and wrestling. His high school focus was wrestling, golf and baseball. Although he focused on all sports his main calling was wrestling. He began wrestling at the age of 4 with Jefferson Junior Wrestling Association. At the age of 6 his wrestling career significantly advanced when he became a wrestler for the PA Renegade Force elite travel team. His career with Renegade Force took him all over the United States competing and winning numerous State and National championships. He won and placed at many West Virginia State Wrestling championships and loads of tournaments all over the country. His achievements including former All American and 2-time National ranking built a solid foundation for his high school and college wrestling career. While wrestling for Liberty University he displayed his talents conquering the mat and was a member of the Liberty University National Wrestling Championship team.
After college he worked in commercial and residential plumbing for a few years before transitioning to FEMA as a reservist. He had also been assisting his dad in his Equine Dental practice for several years before taking up the trade and working side by side with his dad.
His wrestling career and skills helped to shape him into the person he was, full of grit, drive and determination. As competitive and hard core as he was, he was a kind, beautiful, loving soul and that was not only constantly displayed but also felt by all those around him.
Tyler's passion for wrestling moved him to coach at the EP Rattler wrestling club, working with and coaching kids of all ages. He was also Assistant Wrestling coach at Washington High School working beside Coach Codie Gustines, successfully coaching several state champions and place finishers. His passion and love for the sport was obvious to all who stepped into his wrestling room or on the mat at a practice or tournament. His goal was to pay back the sport that had given him so much and he did that as a referee for the youth matches, coaching, mentoring or just being there in your corner. His hope was to pass on his talent and knowledge for all the generations after him. He has made a lasting impact on his wrestlers and the community and was blessed to have found his true calling.
Tyler is survived by his parents, sister Ashleigh, grandmother Jane Dillow, grandparents Ward and Pam Sigler, aunts Amanda Lutman (Todd), Kathryn Slaven (Jeff), Margaret Henderson (Patrick), Jordan and Justine Sigler, uncles Ward Sigler (Melissa), Rick Brown, (Kim), Ronnie Brown (Maria), great aunts Rose Altieri, Nancy Cleaver and Flo Best. He is also survived by numerous cousins and numerous bonus brothers.
A celebration of Tyler's life will be held Thursday, May 8 at 2:00 pm at the Ranson Civic Center with fellowship to follow.
In lieu of flowers the family will be establishing a scholarship in his honor. His passion for wrestling and the development of youth wrestlers was his focus.
