Tyler passed away this morning following a cardiac event in his San Diego apartment.
Tyler was a sweet soul and wonderful friend to all of those who knew him.
We are beyond devastated by the loss of our dear friend and pray for his children and his father.

He later was nominated in 2019 for his longtime recurring role as Stefan DiMera onDays of Our Lives.
Christopher alleged his sister spent $40,000 of his money for her own personal use.
In court papers, and in an email to Bloomberg Law, she said she was protecting her brother.
Christopher is survived by two children from his second marriage.
I am once again devastated by yet another loss of a wonderful colleague and beautiful human being.
I have no words.
Tyler@Tyler2929was a joy to work with.
His smile & sense of humor lit up the stage.
I enjoyed every minute of our time together.
You never what someone else is silently coping with.
