In loving memory of
TYLER RUSSELL FRUIN

It is with truly heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Tyler Russell Fruin of Kimberley, British Columbia, on September 9, 2026, at the age of 39.

Tyler’s life was not without sadness and struggles; however, his bright and cheerful disposition always managed to shine through. In this time of heartbreak, so many happy memories fill
our hearts and remind us of the incredible person he was. Angels’ wings now carry him home.

Born on October 19, 1986, in Oshawa, Ontario, Tyler was loving, courageous, caring, and fearless. He was truly one of a kind. Ty loved his animals. His dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs were a source of light and comfort in his life. He was a huge music fan and also played guitar. We will always remember his unmistakable barroom baritone, singing along to Dropkick Murphys and Social Distortion while he worked, headphones blasting in his ears. Tyler was an avid skier, fisherman, and daring dirt-bike rider. His family and friends knew him
as a man who lived full tilt, with no half measures. He embraced life with an adventurous spirit and never did anything halfway. His sisters, Momma, and family in Oshawa will always remember him as a deeply caring and generous young man who would have given the shirt off his back without ever being asked. He was loyal and a protector to his family, his absence will be deeply felt by everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.

Tyler is survived by his wife, Leah; mother, Linda (Paul); father, Russell (Lorrie); sisters, Natasha (Yousef) and Madison; brothers, Mac and Carter; aunt Sally and uncle Pitzy; aunt
Sue and uncle Norm; and uncle Neal (Dora).

He was loved unconditionally by all of us and will forever remain in our hearts and memories.

Thou wast not born for death immortal bird, no hungry generations tread thee down. How long will we love you? As long as stars are above you, and longer by far..
