Tyler Ray Hoffman, known to most as Huffy, 37, passed away unexpectedly Friday, June 23, 2023.

He was born Dec. 17, 1985, in Fremont, to Patti (Stevens) and Haldon Hoffman. Tyler attended Vanguard and graduated from Gibsonburg High School in 2004.

They have two beautiful sons, Konner and Kolten Hoffman, who were Tyler's pride and joy and were always ready to be Daddy's helpers.

Tyler had a love for working on equipment, farming, excavating, firefighting, and anything that involved getting his hands dirty. He was the one that anyone could call for help and he would be right there, no matter what he was doing. Tyler loved to work hard and play harder. He spent many weekends taking his family camping and teaching the boys how to ride 4-wheelers. He touched so many people's hearts and was truly an amazing man. Tyler was a member of the Eagles and proud and valued member of GVFD. Tyler was employed by Ohio Operating Engineers Local 18, at Rudolph Libbe and D2 Excavating.
