Tyler Martin Oehmke

family was stationed during his father’s service in the U.S. Army. A

few years later the military moved his family to Italy, where as a young

boy he easily became fluent in Italian. The family ultimately moved

back to the United States settling in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Tyler made many trips to San Diego with his family throughout the years

to visit his paternal and maternal grandparents and their families.

Tyler ultimately came back to California after graduating from high

school to attend the California Maritime Academy. He demonstrated an

exceptional ability to fix things mechanical, and started a career

working as a mechanic at the San Diego County Club in the grounds

maintenance division for the last 9 years.

Tyler had a passion for bmx, motorcycles, trucks, classic cars and music

… and life in general.

He was generous and thoughtful, funny and surprising.

He had such a quirky sense of humor and always kept you

on your toes. His laughter could fill any room and his love for his family

and friends was unparalleled.

Tyler dreamt of having a family since he was a young boy. He fulfilled

this dream by creating a beautiful family. Aside from being a loving and

protective father, his capacity for joy and fun was extraordinary. His

passion for his children was as big as his strength and personality.

Surviving are his loving wife Terah, 9 year-old Aidan, 5 year-old Oliver

and 2 year-old Delilah.
