Tyler James Adrian passed away peacefully in his sleep from natural causes on November 16, 2023, in Clinton, Tennessee. Born September 29, 1983, in Childress, Texas, Tyler was always so proud of being a native Texan along with his son, Westin. His life was marked by a spirit of adventure, creativity, and a deep love for his family and friends.
While growing up, Tyler loved playing baseball and football and enjoyed hunting and fishing. He and his brother were always outdoors, usually shooting BB guns. He grew up involved in summer rodeo bible camps and schools and started helping his dad lead the camps as a young adult. He went on to teach at Platte Valley Rodeo Bible Camp. Tyler graduated from Central Heights High School in Richmond, Kansas, in 2002. After graduation, he served his country with honor and dedication in the United States Army. Tyler began riding bulls at 16 and after his time in the military, he became a successful, professional bull rider. He was always a risk-taker, ready to embrace the thrill of the next ride. He competed in NFPB, PRCA, PBR, and CBR. His bull riding career lasted over 15 years, during which he won numerous buckles and trophies, including the 2013 CBR Horizon World Championship. He lived hard, worked hard, rode hard, and fought hard. But above all, he loved hard.
He recently founded his own company, “All-In Home Renovations.” His handyman skills and construction knowledge covered a wide range of projects. Tyler was also a talented leather craftsman, a testament to his creativity and attention to detail. Tyler believed in Jesus Christ and attended Sevier Heights Church, where he loved sharing the services with his closest friends. Tyler loved playing golf and enjoyed following the Dallas Cowboys Football Team. He also found peace in nature and loved fishing. However, the most important aspect of his life was his family.
