Mr. Tyler was born on April 2, 1941 in Wilkes County where he has lived most of his life. Shortly after graduating in 1959, from Washington Wilkes High School, he lived in Augusta and worked for Western Electric. Then, he was employed by Pet Milk as a route salesman in Greene County for 9 years. In 1973, he became owner of Tyler’s Machine Shop, Inc. which he and his wife, Kay operated for 45 years retiring in April of 2018. Mr. Tyler, a true southern gentleman, was well known in the area as one of the most accommodating businessmen that one would ever meet. If he told you that he would give you something, he would always give more. He enjoyed serving the public but most of all, he loved God, his church, and his family.  His father, Herman Tyler and infant daughter, Sheryl Suzanne Tyler, preceded him in death.

He is survived by his wife, Kay Dunaway Tyler; sons, Jeff Tyler of Washington, DC and Greg Tyler and wife, Gena of Hoschton, Ga; mother, Mildred D.
