Tyler James Klein, aged 36, of Lincoln, Nebraska, departed this life on March 12, 2024. Born on February 22, 1988, in the same city, he was a beloved son, father, brother, and friend whose warmth and cheerful spirit touched all who knew him.

Tyler found his professional calling as the assistant manager at T.O. Haas Tire and Auto, where his work ethic and warm-hearted nature were appreciated by both colleagues and customers alike. His personal interests were as varied as they were passionate, ranging from avid attendance at Eagle Raceway events to the artistic capture of moments through photography while traveling country roads, a love of his Yukon and collecting of pocket knives and hat’s to sharing his love for cars with friends and family via Snapchat.

Tyler knew no boundaries when it came to his heart and children in his life. He leaves behind a legacy of laughter and love in his children: Tristyn Klein, Elijah Klein Mosley (mother, diabetic bestie, coparenting partner Jerrica Mosley), Tegyn Klein (mother, embarrassing picture muse, coparenting partner Jessica Storm), and Leyton Gustafson.

His brother Trevor Klein, sister-in-law Chelsea Klein, brother Craig Carlson, his devoted mother Tammy Carlson, father who raised him Jason Carlson, niece Cadence Klein, nephew Paxton Klein, along with numerous cherished aunts, uncles, and cousins. Preceding him in his journey to eternal rest was his adored Grandmother, Nancy King and his Grandfather Terry Klein.

A Celebration of Life to honor Tyler will be held from 2-6 PM on March 23, 2024, at the community center in Waverly, located at 11120 N 141st St, Waverly, NE 68462. This gathering will be a time to share the joy and kindness he spread throughout his life.

In place of flowers, those wishing to express sympathy may consider a contribution to the fund established by Chelsea Klein, ensuring his children are provided for financially for the coming months.
