TYLER PATRICK PAQUETTE
February 27, 1994 – June 2, 2024
We are deeply saddened to announce that Tyler Patrick Paquette, our dear son, brother, and friend unexpectedly passed away on Sunday, June 2, 2024, at the age of 30.
Born on February 27th, 1994, to Tom & Doris Paquette, Ty lived a life full of fun & adventure. He grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and from a young age, he had a vibrant curiosity and a passion for anything creative, fast, and dangerous. His infectious smile and humor endeared him to everyone he met.
Exploring and adventure was what Ty was often known for. After graduation this led him to Rjukan, Norway, where he worked at a lodge & ski resort for years. Working at the resort, Ty found his passion for snowboarding. He posted videos of himself boarding in the mountains and sharing his adventures any time he could.
From sleeping on the beach in Greece, snowboarding in Norway, or exploring the mountains of British Columbia. Ty cared more about the journey and the people he crossed paths with than the destination itself. He connected with so many people from all walks of life and people were drawn to his adventurous spirit and enthusiasm. He was never afraid to be bold. Whether he was requesting the Disney Mulan soundtrack in a club or forcing me (Matt) to get a tattoo with him, we always had good times wherever we were.
After travelling abroad, he started his career with Deveraux Developments, where he worked as a carpenter for 8 years. Ty was an irreplaceable part of their team and quickly became an integral part of the success rate of the company’s projects in Winnipeg. He was hard-working and beloved by all his co-workers and someone they could rely on.
Throughout his career, Ty picked up a love for his tools, that’s for sure. When he wasn’t finishing buildings for Deveraux, he was probably at the local Home Depot, spending his hard-earned cheque on a tool he wouldn’t use for 10 years.
Ty found joy in skateboarding, basketball, and traveling to different ski resorts in his absolute liability of a vehicle (the Chevy Blazer). He also loved to read books and spend time with his family.
Aside from that, much of his time was spent helping others with projects, wherever he could. Whether it was installing flooring, building a deck, or planter boxes, he approached each project with pride and enthusiasm. He always made time for laughter along the way as well.
After all that, Ty’s biggest accomplishment in life was the love he earned from his beloved niece & nephews. So much so, that when we all visited, the kids didn’t care about anybody else until they got to see Uncle Ty. He had a special gift for making each of the kids feel cherished and understood. Ty was either pushing them on the swing in our parents’ backyard, teaching them how to ride a bike, or spending time with them at the park.
His influence was so great that our nearby convenience store is now referred to in our family as ‘The Slushy Store’, because of Ty’s never-ending chase of fun with the kids. He was the definition of ‘funcle’. He found so much joy in seeing their reactions to all the crazy, fun things they did together.
Above all, Ty loved to spend so much of his time with us, his friends, and his family. He always turned ordinary moments into a room filled with laughter and joy. You could say he was our family’s ‘glue guy’. Although he might not be physically with us, the bond he applied to our hearts and the memories we have will hold us together forever.
At this time, we’re still in the process of deciding what we’d like to do to best honor Ty. We’ll be providing an update to you all within the coming weeks, which we’ll post on social media. Our family will be donating a park bench in Ty’s honor to Lodge & Strathmillan Park, where Ty would often take the kids to play. We invite you all to visit the bench when installed.
We are deeply grateful for the overwhelming outpouring of love, support, and generosity extended to our family following the passing of Ty.
We love you, Ty.
Ty’s family kindly requests that all of his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.
