Tye was born October 7, 1979 to MarrSue (Harris) Martin and Willian L Sutor in Richland Washington at 7:22 pm. Tye attended several schools while growing up and graduated from Thurston High School in Springfield Oregon which he considered his hometown. After graduation he enlisted into the Army where he proudly served our county until 2005. He was a wounded warrior with PTSD. He moved to Phoenix Arizona to attend a trade school and join his mother who had just recently moved to Phoenix. He later received his bachelor’s degree in business management from the University of Phoenix. As he was trying to find a career that suited him with his military background, he found a career with DOC as a correctional office at Lewis Prison in Buckeye.He found the comradery of brotherhood and sisterhood he had experience in his new career as correctional officer at Lewis Prison in Buckeye.
He was a quiet, kindhearted man that was very loyal to everyone who was important to him. He had a great laugh oftentimes surprising others with his quirky sense of humor. He gave the biggest bear hugs that matched his 6-foot 3in size. He enjoyed his 2 pool leagues that he had been on for years and the caption of one. He enjoyed the Oakland Raiders and the Oregon Ducks football team. He enjoyed spending time with those close to him and the occasional night on the town. He enjoyed a variety of foods and could eat more than his fair share. He enjoyed spending time with his mom and dogs at the family home where he was a great help around the house. Tye had a great fashion sense and every May he would find the perfect dress, jewelry and shoes for his mom to wear to San Diego for his brothers Chip’s Pre-Mother’s Day luncheon.
He is survived by his loving Mom, MarrSue Martin, brothers Chip Messenger and Jeremy Martin, half brother and sister Will and Amber Sutor, Father William Sutor. Preceded in death: Stepfather Wayne Martin, Grandma & Grandpa Little, Uncle Scott Harris, Grandpa Sutor
