Paul was born on January 27, 1974 in Negros Occidental, Bacolod City Philippines, to Leah Barney and Edgardo Piccio. He graduated from the Al Collins Graphic Design School with a degree in Graphic Design in 1997.
Paul, also known as Tyler Corbin, grew up in Las Vegas and was truly gifted with talent. He started his love of art at an early age, winning local drawing contests for the city; eventually mastering graphic design and with the artistic mind fell in love with magic. He developed his own magic tricks and not only entertained everyone with his skills but also helped grow and continue the interest of magic through his videos.
Paul’s talents will also be remembered by his many artwork designs during his fight; with his greatest achievement and most special to him was honoring the 58 victims of the 1 October shooting and Golden Knights Stanley Cup run and gathering the community by having fans sign his framed art to give to Fleury. Sitting outside during all practices and games, gave him a purpose and became friends with many fans.
He is survived by his mother, Leah Barney; sisters, Farrah Piccio Sahakian and Crystal Barney Dirks; daughter Apple Kemnetz-Piccio, and his significant other, Britt Kemnetz.
A memorial will take place on January 25 at 11:00 a.m. at Palm Northwest Mortuary. Friends and family are welcome to attend and celebrate Paul “Tyler’s” life.
“I learned that there were two ways I could live my life: following my dreams or doing something else. Dreams aren't a matter of chance, but a matter of choice. When I dream, I believe I am rehearsing my future.”
-- David Copperfield
