Tyler Luft Obituary
Tyler Luft, 34, passed away unexpectedly on February 14, 2026, preceded in death by his father, Ty Luft. Born on May 16, 1991, Tyler lived a life marked by deep love for his family, a free spirit, and a heart that left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.
Tyler was a proud and loving father to Emmalynn Rose (13), Temprance Rae (10), and Kyler Layton (7), whom he shared with his wife, Savannah. His children were his greatest joy.
He is survived by his mother, Terry Haynes (Gary); his sisters, Rachael and Megan; and the many nieces and nephews who affectionately knew him as “TyTy.” His presence brought energy, humor, and warmth to every gathering.
Tyler had a passion for playing guitar, often filling the room with music that reflected his spirit. He loved riding motorcycles, embracing the freedom of the open road, and he had a unique hobby of collecting unusual and interesting items that told stories all their own. His curiosity and individuality were part of what made him unforgettable.
Though his time here was far too short, Tyler’s laughter, legacy and smile will live on through his children and in our memories and hearts. May he forever ride free and forever play on. We love you always.
