Tyler was born on March 31, 1962, to Richard and Judy (Long) Van Horbeck in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. "One hell of an athlete" would be the first thought that comes to mind for many when thinking of Ty, being a multisport athlete in football, basketball, and, most importantly, baseball at Jefferson High School up until graduation in 1980. He subsequently went on to play baseball at Northeast Oklahoma A&M and William Jewel in Missouri before returning to Cedar Rapids to build a life among family and start one of his own.
From there he would be remembered as the biggest goof ball in every room, rarely allowing a photo opportunity to happen without some shenanigans. He lived a life of fun, love, and smiles, and the world will have a little less of each for having lost him.
Tyler is remembered as a beloved father, son, brother, and friend, who brought a rambunctious energy to every room he entered, and laughter to everyone who had their lives bettered by having known him.
He is survived by his daughter, London Van Horbeck (Cooper Maahs); his brother, Todd (Deanna) Van Horbeck; his mother Judy (Ed) Graham; and by a plethora of friends and loved ones.
He is proceeded in death by his father Rich.
