SLAYTON, Tyler Michael

Published by Today's News Herald from Sep. 25 to Sep. 26, 2022 - Lake Havasu City, Arizona - War decorated combat Infantry Army Specialist Tyler Michael Slaton went to be with the Lord Sept. 14, 2022 in Lake Havasu City. Tyler was born in Huntington Beach, California to his parents John and Lisa on May 13, 1986. He grew up with three brothers and a large loving family. While a young boy, Tyler grew up in Moreno Valley and in the 5th grade relocated to Huntington Beach. Tyler excelled in football and baseball and proudly wore the traditional Slaton #6. He graduated from Edison High School as an accomplished athlete. In 2008, Tyler enlisted in the United States Army and completed his basic training at Fort Benning, Georgia. Tyler received orders to report to the frontlines in Iraq and fight the war on terrorism. While serving our country, Tyler earned war time medals and awards that he and his family are very proud of. Tyler finished his military career teaching young army servicemen the skills and abilities he had acquired during war. Tyler retired from the Army with a disability pension in 2013 and settled down in Lake Havasu City, AZ. Tyler loved three things: his dogs, his family and his country. Tyler worked hard in construction trades and served his community. When he needed a break, you could find Tyler and His "boys" Stryker and Zeus down by the Colorado River cooling off in the Arizona sun. As the movie title reads "All dogs go to heaven", Stryker received orders a week ahead of Tyler to be ready and welcome him to heaven. Zeus is now cared for by his Grandma Lisa. Tyler leaves behind his good boy Zeus, his mother Lisa and stepfather Leonard, his father John, brothers Joshua, Jacob and Christian, grandparents John, Mary, and Barbara as well as many aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.
