He owned and operated T&T Cornhole, where he met and became friends with many people. Most importantly, Tyler was a good husband and father. He will forever be missed and leaves a void in the hearts of all that knew and loved him.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Janet Thiels; maternal grandfather, Ira Dale Jones; and uncle, Kevin Thiels.
Those left to cherish his memory include his loving wife of 11 years, Tiffany; daughter, Kyla; son, Wesley; parents, Jeannie and Charles Landry; Brent and Phyllis Thiels; paternal grandfather, Charles Thiels; maternal grandmother, Ernestine Crawford; in-laws, Ann Berry and Lance Harris; two sisters, Tiffany Johnson (Erik) and Sabrina Thiels; two brothers, Austin Laborde (Dee) and Brenton Thiels; two step-brothers, Tanner Landry (Megan) and Taylor Landry; and a host of extended family and friends.
A special thanks goes to Dustin Lewis for being the best friend and brother-in-law to Tyler, for being the godfather to Kyla and Wesley, and to all of Tyler's military family.
