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.
