1978 - 2008
Tyler Adam Fader passed away Oct. 22, 2008, at his home in Denver. He was 30.
Tyler was born in Steamboat Springs on July 17, 1978. He spent his first 19 years in Steamboat, snowboarding and playing hockey. He was a constant presence at the ball fields, first as a batboy, then as a player and later running the batting cages.
Tyler also enjoyed motorcycles and racing through his team, TF Racing.
By the time he entered Steamboat Springs High School, Tyler already was a whiz with computers - a talent that led to his career as an information technology specialist in Denver.
Tyler is survived by his parents, Jim and Kathy Fader; grandmothers Betty Fader, of Omaha, Neb., and Doris Kluse, of Stockton, Calif.; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and good friends who will miss him.
