Msgt Tyler John Weir

Tyler John Weir was a man among men and said what he thought whether you liked it or not. He was born January 20, 1986, in Spokane, WA to Jaqueline Marshall and Ralph Weir. Tyler grew up surrounded by sisters, which just made him tougher. He attended St Mary’s private Catholic school until high school where he attended and graduated from Gonzaga Prep. Tyler’s adventurous spirit led him to Bozeman, MT where he enrolled in mechanical engineering and ROTC. It was in Bozeman that Tyler met the love of his life, Jen, when he was 19. Jen was ready to get married, but Tyler made her wait four years and proposed right before leaving for Air Force Basic Training in December of 2008. Tyler attended schools in TX and AR then made a quick trip back to MT in August of 2009 to marry his girl and whisk her off to his first duty station in Little Rock. In May 2011, the couple welcomed their first child. Wyatt was born in Little Rock and spent his first year of life in the south. In 2012, Tyler was able to transfer to the Montana Air National Guard in Great Falls, MT. Tyler landed a job, and they welcomed their second child, Weston, in March of 2013. Wakely came as a surprise in July of 2014. He loved being outdoors hunting, hiking, cutting wood, working, finding sheds, and camping with his family. He was an active member of Cascade County Search and Rescue and Great Falls Ski Patrol. Tyler lived to help others and was always going above and beyond in all areas of his life, whether it was fixing a broken C-130 engine or talking one of his kids down after a bad day. No matter what he did, Tyler gave his all and will be missed every single day by those of us who knew him and loved him. Love you, Jen. Tyler is survived by his wife, Jen; children, Weston and Wakely; mother, Jackie Marshall; father, Ralph Weir; stepdad, Randy Marshall; sisters, Erin Weir, Jamie Strothers, and Kelsie Weir; grandmother, Ann Beaman; and all of his in-laws who loved him so very much. A vigil service will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, May 21, 2021, with a funeral liturgy to be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 22, 2021, both at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church.
