Julian Mark the first born to Renee and Mark Tyler on June 1, 1987. Having a child was the most incredible experience but it is hard to express the day-to-day pleasure it was to watch him grow and experience the world. He was their EVERYTHING.
Right after Julian turned 5 he became a "big brother" to Jordan Chase Tyler. He took his role of big brother quite seriously. He was to teach, encourage, love and protect his little brother. The Tyler's home was incredibly busy raising two boys.
Julian was a great athlete and his love for basketball started at very early age in Ft. Wayne In. This love for the game carried on through his young adulthood. He graduated from Stoney Creek High School in 2005 where he played Varsity Basket/Football. He befriended everyone. He was kind, had a gentle soul, big heart and a contagious smile.
After high school like many young people, he was trying to figure out how to meet life's necessities while pursuing Higher education (Oakland CC)/Penn Foster where he received his certificate in Physical therapy. After completion of the program, Julian realized he also had a passion for Sales/retail. He pursued this path and became successful (he could sell any kind of merchandise). After working as a manager for several of the USA's top Mobile carries (T- Mobile, AT&T, Sprint etc. He focused his sites on becoming a "Sneaker Addict". He made this business very lucrative (for there are still an overabundance of sneakers in the house today).
Being a sneaker addict rekindled his love for basketball. This love ignited a fire and desire to show others what he had learned, he wanted to become a coach, wanted to mentor, make an impact. Julian made the decision to coach and was fortunate to get a position as an AAU coach with Midwest Basketball Club/Loud academy. This passion for coaching lead Julian to become a top candidate for a High School Varsity Basketball coaching position.
Julian's dream was finally coming true. This took a tragic turn on June 26, 2025 when he gained his wings to be with the Lord. He is preceded in death by his cherished Grandparents William and Hazel Jordan, Jack and Geneva Tyler. Aunt (Jackie Tyler).
Julian leaves to cherish his loving memories, Parents (Mark & Renee Tyler), brother Jordan (Stefania) Uncles (Gary Tyler, Douglas Jordan) and host of relatives and friends that will truly miss him.

My deepest condolences to the Tyler family. Julian will always hold a special place in my heart. From growing up together in Rochester to playing AAU and high school basketball side by side. The game is what brought us together. I'll always cherish the times we competed - rather it was at Borden Park, shooting in the driveway or just sharing a laugh on the bus ride after a tough loss. Julian had a unique gift for lifting others up. He was sincere, genuine and always real - the kind of person you were lucky to know. Julian, you will be missed.
