Reginald Ernest Tyler


Peacefully, on February 2nd, 2018 in his 86th year, Reg Tyler passed away surrounded by his family. Reg lived an incredible life and will forever be remembered by those he touched, particularly in the Feversham & Ravenna communities; through his years of involvement with the local arena and volunteering within the broader community through organizations such as AA. His legacy of having been an extremely compassionate man, who has helped many others overcome challenge, will remain a cornerstone of his resilient, persevering and loving character, that was apparent until the very end.
