Tyler A. Graham, 36, of Onalaska, died on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, surrounded by love.
He was born on June 25, 1988, at Gunderson Lutheran Hospital in La Crosse, WI, to Jason Graham and Jean Lane. Being born three months early, Tyler had a hard start to life. He weighed 1 pound, 10.5 ounces, and was 12 inches long. Though he persevered and his strength and determination showed. He attended Janesville School for the Blind and enjoyed playing the piano. He made his own tunes and was especially good at playing the Jeopardy theme song. Although Tyler had disabilities, he always strived to make others smile and happy. While he rested, he watched the Price is Right, always chanting "Come On Down!" He loved the rivalry between the Packers and Vikings and always joked and laughed about who he liked during that particular game. His favorite food was pizza and he loved when Grandma would bring his Rocky Rococo's. Although Tyler's life was difficult and short, he lived his life with pure love and embraced each challenge he faced with grit. He was precious, sweet, gentle, and will be deeply missed by all that knew and loved him.
Tyler is survived by his father, Jason (Angela) Graham; his mother, Jean Lane; 8 siblings; Grandmother, Audrey Graham; uncle, Nick Graham; cousin, Clayton Graham as well as other relatives. He is further survived by his foster family, Doreen (Pete) Thompson, Jim, and special friend, Brett.
The family would like to thank Doreen and Pete Thompson, Jim, Dawn Hove, Donelle, Joe and Connie, as well as Jeff and Kristi for the love and care they provided to Tyler over the years.
A Funeral Service will be held on Monday, June 23, 2025, 1:00 PM, at the Sonnenburg Family Funeral Home, 801 E. Monowau St. Tomah. Pastor Steve Brown will officiate. Burial will be at the LaGrange Cemetery, Tomah.
