Tyler Lloyd

Tyler Lloyd passed away peacefully at home in Saratoga Springs, Utah after a short battle with cancer on September 14, 2024, at the age of 23. He was born May 9, 2001, in Logan, Utah to David and Elizabeth Lloyd.
Tyler was many things: a miracle, honest, opinionated, autistic, a brother, a son, and an adventure. Everyone loved Tyler, you couldn't help but love him. Most everyone that got to know him had a Tyler experience. These innocent experiences were authentic, honest and 100% Tyler. They could make you laugh or cringe, but they would always make you smile.
Tyler loved to learn about all animal life, he especially loved dinosaurs and mythical creatures. He became a walking encyclopedia on the subject. He loved all animals and was a true friend to all mythical creatures.
Another one of Tyler's loves was a cartoon show called Paw Patrol. He was so dedicated to Paw Patrol that you could say he was a Paw Patrol Groupie. He had to watch all the episodes and needed to know when all the new DVDs were being released. One time his dad asked if all the dogs were mutts, he responded, "only one is a mutt. All the rest are purebred. Now go away, leave me alone."
Tyler had a love for life. He was happy all the time. He would skip, giggle and make happy sounds of joy. Many people mentioned that seeing him so happy brightened their day. The problem was when he displayed this high level of enthusiasm at 5:30 in the morning in a house full of non-morning people. When asked why he was so loud, he would respond, "because I'm so happy."
Tyler was always seen with a chain in his hand which he used as a calming tool. His chain is the same type of chain that you see connected to a pen at a bank, so it doesn't walk away. He discovered the chain at a doctor's office, and it changed his life. He enjoyed showing off his chain and all the things he could do with it. The chain soon became part of him and eventually people started referring to Tyler and his chain, "Tyler and his chain" "Tyler, how are you and your chain doing today?" The one thing he wouldn't do was let anyone touch it or play with it, because he didn't want anyone to twirl it the wrong way.
Tyler had a few goals he wanted to do. First was to train everyone in the proper etiquette of twilling a chain. Next was to convince zookeepers to teach all parrots to talk so he could talk to them. Lastly, he wanted to make a machine that would give him and everyone in the world a tail. This was also Tyler's Make a Wish Dream. When we were unable to grant this wish, he said he wanted to see an elephant. He went to Disney's Animal Kingdom and on his first day, he not only saw elephants, in the gift shop he found a lion tail he could wear. He got his wish.
Survived by his parents David and Brittni Lloyd, siblings, Emma (Dennis) Empet, Chase Bernsdorff, and Abigail Lloyd. Also, many uncles, aunts, cousins, his numerous imaginary mythical creature friends, and his chain.
Preceded in death by, his mother Elizabeth Lloyd, grandmother Tamara Davis, grandfather Howard Lloyd, and great grandmother Sharon Roberts.
