Tyler Blake Everett, 46, of Kerrville, Texas, passed away on April 23, 2026. Born on May 1, 1979, in Webster, Texas, Tyler lived a life marked by service, humor, hard work, and a deep love for his family.
Tyler proudly served in the United States Army as a Chinook mechanic with the elite 160th unit, completing three foreign war tours. His first tour in Afghanistan in 2001, second tour in Iraq in 2003 and his last tour in 2004 back to Afghanistan. After that, he received the Army Commendation Award in 2006. His dedication to his country and his fellow soldiers was a defining chapter of his life, one that shaped the disciplined, resilient man so many came to know and admire. After leaving the military, Tyler worked hard as a technician and could almost always be found in his shop, tinkering on some new project with his loyal dog Rhea right by his side.
Tyler was one of the funniest people you could ever meet, the kind of person whose laugh filled a room and whose bear hugs you never forgot. He was his children's biggest supporter and never, not once, gave up on them. He loved being on his bike and was a proud member of the Boozefighters Motorcycle Club in Kerrville. He was a die-hard Houston Astros fan, a devoted Titans fan, and a lover of all types of sports. He and his daughter would talk basketball constantly, debating and bonding over the game they both loved. Tyler also had a legendary shoe collection, probably the biggest around, and he took real pride in it. He had a natural gift with animals, and they loved him right back, which says everything you need to know about the kind of soul he was.
Tyler is survived by his three children, Brooklyn Naomee Everett, Braylen Tyler Everett, and Brylee Jordan Everett; his father, Charles Walter Everett; his mother, Mary Frances Mayhugh; his sisters, Deborah Wells and Allison Katrina Loring alongside her son Miles Wayne Loring and his father Chris Loring; his brothers, Wesley Everett, Cade Nathan Macfarlane, and Corban Nicklaus Macfarlane; his aunt, Kelly Everett; his cousins, Foster Everett and Adriana Everett. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Claire and Charles Cheek and Mildred Louise and Foster Nugent Everett; his uncles, Travis Blake Everett and Michael David Everett; and Diana Everett.
His daughter remembers a quote Tyler had written on the wall of his shop: "Even if you are not ready for the day, it can't always be night." May those words bring comfort now, a gentle reminder from Tyler himself that even the darkest times will pass, and that the light he brought into this world continues to shine through everyone who loved him.
