It is with a broken heart that we announce Tyler Christian Stowell of Vancouver, BC passed away peacefully on June 15, 2024.

Tyler was a wonderful dad and loved his children very much. He loved taking the kids swimming, camping and his dream was to travel around the world with them. Tyler loved the outdoors and was very adventurous. As a youngster we would always go camping to Sheridan Lake in 100 Mile, BC and while we were setting up camp he would travel around the campground introducing himself. He also met and shared stories with David Suzuki, a highlight in his life.
Tyler worked at the ESL School as an Activity Coordinator and would take Students on tours and activities throughout BC. Tyler was also a First Aid attendant for construction sites and started a solar panel business.
Tyler met Satoko here in Vancouver and moved to Japan in 2008 where they married and had their first child Kisa and after 3 years moved back to Vancouver in 2011. In 2014 Tyler and Satoko welcome a second child Alex.
In 2018 Tyler had a tragic accident that left him a paraplegic. After 6 years he sadly died due to complications. Tyler will always be loved and missed by many, forever in our hearts❤️
Celebration of Life for Tyler will be Saturday June 22, 2024 (open house) between 1-4 pm at Gabriola Park clubhouse 20498 82 Avenue, Langley.

Tyler had the sweetest soul. In school he wrote me a poem and I'll cherish it always. After his accident we reconnected. I wish there was more I could have done to assist him. I think of you often Tyler and I hope you are at peace now.

Tyler,
Sorry to hear about your passing bro, we came up together in surrey and I’ll always remember when we first met at PM, good times and good parties. When you moved downtown you let me stay at your place and crash on your couch, I always appreciated that and you scoring me a room in your spot; we had good times living together at Nelson and Nicola when we were 21, going to English bay picking up girls and enjoying the crisp taste of Kokanee, sitting on the logs and listening to the crew playing instruments on sunny afternoons. Thats where I will see you again brother; on the beach, young and vibrant without a care in the world, until then rest easy my friend.

Tyler. I will miss you. You were a great father and friend. When you learned you would be a father you left your life in Canada and moved to japan. We came back to Canada around the same time. I loved catching up with you! Your dedication to provide for your family, in a way encouraged my heart as well. You had some dark times, but your soul always remained pure. I will miss you my friend. I know you will live on through your family and the people you have you touched.

My deepest condolences to Tyler, his family, and Satoko.
Tyler, I regret that we stopped talking to each other in the past few years.
We were good friends like a real family.
I remember that you called me in the morning when Kisa was born.
I was camping and I heard the great news in my tent and I was so happy for you that you became a dad on the day.
When I heard from your mouth that your daughter’s name was Kisa, I remember I felt like wow what a beautiful name it was.
I hope you are in a better place now.
I wish we could have talked before you left.
But I think you knew that I could never hate you.
I’ll keep our good memories in my mind forever.
I’ll never forget our old days.
I’ll never forget your smile.
You were a very handsome kid, Tyler. Nice and fit, you loved working out.
You loved dancing, you loved playing with your kids.
I miss you Tyler.
Satoko is my good friend now.
I’ll be in touch with her and I’ll be looking forward to hanging out with your kids time to time and seeing them growing up so fast.
And I’m sure that I’ll sometimes see you in their eyes when I talk to them.
Take care of yourself until we see each other again in heaven.
May you rest in peace.
