Tyler David Scamehorn

June 9, 2019

Tyler David Scamehorn, 15, of Fort Collins, passed away at home on June 9, 2019. His parents and sister are heartbroken. Born in Fort Collins, Tyler was going into his sophomore year at Rocky Mountain High School. He enjoyed school, especially math, photography and learning to speak Spanish. Tyler loved being outside – boating, camping, riding dirt bikes – all things outdoors. He held a black belt in karate after years of hard work and practice at the dojo of Karate West. Not long ago, Tyler attended a “No Barriers” trip to Costa Rica and came home much more concerned and aware about the world and other cultures. He was a very spiritual young man, quiet, and had a great memory too. Tyler had a heart of gold – he was a loving son and an awesome brother and friend. He was always protective of others, especially his little sister, with whom he had a great relationship. Tyler is survived by his parents, Greg and Tina Scamehorn; sister Amira Scamehorn; grandparents, Terry and Marcy Scamehorn of Longmont, CO and Edward and Gloria Shreffler of Denver; aunts and uncles, Angie (Dave) Juarez, Steve Scamehorn, Eric (Erika) Scamehorn, and Scott Scamehorn; cousins, Devon Juarez, Zack Scamehorn, Sarah Hart, Dexter Scamehorn, and Georgia Scamehorn. A Celebration of Tyler’s Life will be held at 3:00 pm, Sunday, June 23, 2019 at Mountain View Community Church, 328 Remington St., Fort Collins. A potluck reception will be held at the church afterward. Donations in Tyler’s honor may be made to Larimer County Mental Health Services, or National Alliance on Mental Illness with the hope that more people will know there is help out there for those suffering from anxiety, depression, and mental health challenges. Tyler had a heart of gold and will be forever missed – no family should ever have to bury a child.
