Tyler Allan Eden, 24, of Sterling, Colorado passed away Wednesday, July 17th, 2024. He was born November 30th, 1999 to Denice Berg and Birchell Eden in La Junta, CO. Tyler was blessed with one amazing sibling, his brother Jackson. The two kept one another on their toes for twenty plus years, and shared an unspoken, private language and bond.

Tyler made friends easily, but actively chose to keep his social circle, and those he trusted close. Tyler was a gentle soul and enjoyed gaming with folks through different systems/mediums and thrived on family time, especially over a good card game with food and great company. Tyler lived for the Renaissance Festival, and enjoyed travel in the southern region of the US.

Tyler was surrounded by animals since the day he was born. He had a sincere compassion for them, especially Charles, his beloved cat. Tyler’s mom describes him as warm hearted and fun loving – anyone that knew him knew of his soft and gentle personality.

After graduating from La Junta High School, he attended Otero College where he earned his Associate’s Degree. At the time of his passing, Tyler was employed by The Colorado Department of Corrections in the Sterling Correctional Facility as a Correctional Officer for 3-1/2 years. He drove a flashy car, had an impressive career path, and was loved by many.
