Tyler William Burrows

BURROWS, Tyler William, 44, passed away on March 12, 2021. Tyler was born in Pontiac, Michigan in 1976. From his earliest days, he blessed us with his wit, humor and charm. His big smile was contagious. Tyler grew to be a tall man but was always a child at heart, a gentle giant. He always excelled in his endeavors, selling cars and then air conditioning in Arizona. His deep voice was calming and re-assuring as he created several radio commercials. His Grandad Bill Vidrih told him he should be in Radio! Tyler was at the center of our Family, during our many Family occasions. He was always there for everyone – lending kind words and a helping hand. He loved running, hiking, skiing and golfing – with obsessive work-outs in between.

Grandma Vidrih taught him to ski in Aspen, Colorado at a young age. He carried this skill his entire life and loved the mountains. When surrounded by family during Summer camping trips to Kneff Lake or Traverse City Michigan, he was in his element. He was especially close to Grandma and Gramps Burrows – as he lived with them in Michigan for some time and always looked after them. If Gramps was around, he could be found by looking for Tyler, towering about the herd. He was his Dad’s golf partner and running competitor through ½ marathons and 10K’s. He didn’t miss an opportunity to spend time with Family and connected with everyone he knew on a level that is un-explainable. He was magnetic.

Tyler’s primary joy was the time spent with his daughter, Hadley. She brought the child and the best out in Tyler. He loved her so much.

Tyler was preceded in death by this Mother, Sheila; her Mother, Grandma Aseneath Schneirs; Grandpa Bill Vidrih; and Grandfather “Gramps” William Burrows. He is survived by Grandparents Nancy Burrows, and Susie Vidrih; parents Tim and Kathe Burrows; two brothers Peter and Matthew Burrows; and the Love of his Life – Daughter Hadley Burrows age 8, Fillmore, CA. He has many Uncles, Aunts, Cousins and Friends. We mourn collectively for this truly outstanding man.

While we miss him dearly, his memories are etched in our souls and will accompany us throughout our days!
