Tyler Anthony Hayden was born on November 4, 1998, to parents Julie Riggs and Cory Hayden, in his home town of Sidney, MT. Julie met and married Jason Riggs when Tyler was only 2 year old. Jason was an incredible stepfather, who Tyler called Dad, and helped raise him to become the man he was. Tyler had an immeasurable love for his mother, who was not only his mother but also his best friend. She was his whole heart. Grandma and Grandpa Hayden, where Tyler spent a lot of his childhood time, were a very active part of his life.

He was so looking forward to starting his new job alongside his father and friend Cory. He was an exceptional brother to his siblings, Sadie Riggs, Samantha Riggs, Santos Riggs, and Jessilyn Aten, and always so proud of them and their accomplishments.

Tyler was an incredible athlete, passionate about football and wrestling. He placed highly in wrestling throughout his career, but he would tell you "Wrestling was just training for football season". This was a young man with an old soul. He showed unconditional love and loyalty to all his family and friends. He had many interests and talents, including making music, making memories, and making people smile.

Music has moments of rapturous sound

And intervals of rest.

It thrills the heart with its majestyAnd soothes it when suppressed.

Life too has ringing,throbbing tones And muted, silent

keys,

Yet both are merged at the master's touch

Into living symphonies.
