Tyler Willis Richardson

Tyler Willis Richardson passed on unexpectedly on Aug 3, 2011 in Palm Springs, California. He was just shy of his twenty-first birthday. Tyler will always be remembered for his kind and generous heart, a smile that would light up a room, and his wacky sense of humor. He brought joy to those he loved, and those he had just met. Tyler was a lover of people, especially children. He adored his niece, Ryin Nicole, and took advantage of any opportunity he had to be her silly Uncle Ty-Ty.

Tyler graduated from Soquel High in 2008. He attended Cabrillo College where he was majoring in psychology. Tyler's plan was to finish his last few credits at College of The Desert, Palm Springs, and complete his degree at UC Riverside. Tyler started working at the Bleu Spoon in Aptos at age fifteen. He worked at Seascape Resort for two-and-a half years, and was working at The Parker Resort in Palm Springs. He always felt good about working hard, being self-sufficient, and having a positive attitude.

Tyler leaves behind his parents Eric Richardson of Aptos, Wendy Richardson of Aptos; his sister Lindsey Kent, brother-in-law Jonathan Kent, niece Ryin Kent, and grandmother JoAnne Willis of San Jose; seven aunts and uncles, seven cousins; more friends than we could ever count, and his beloved Subaru WRX STi. Tyler was the best son, brother, uncle, grandson, nephew, cousin, co-worker, and friend that anyone could have.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate his life on Monday, August 29, 2011 at 4:00 pm on the bluff at Seascape Resort, 1 Seascape Resort Drive, Aptos, CA 95003. There will be a memory board to share your pictures and reflections of Tyler. In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favorite charity and spread Tyler's random acts of kindness and his smiles. Remember Tyler's words, "No worries. It's all good."
