Tyke was born March 6, 1941 on the original homestead SE ¼ of 21-10-17 at Yellow Grass and resided there until his passing. He was the youngest in a family of seven. He attended Beautiful Plains School and was a member of Yellow Grass Calf Club. Tyke was a carpenter and mechanic, working for RMP, John Deere, Al Watson and Whitrow Bros. Service. Music was an important part of his life. He loved his farm and most of all loved his cabin at Barrier Lake where he spent many hours fishing. He always enjoyed family and friends coming out to the farm for a coffee and a visit. He is at peace now and has no more suffering after battling cancer. We’ve lost a loved one. We’re hurt, we’re sad, but we will never forget, never let the many memories of the time we had leave our souls or our hearts. So for now, watch over us and take care.

Interment followed at Yellow Grass Cemetery, Yellow Grass. Lunch was held at Yellow Grass Legion Hall, Yellow Grass. All in attendance were considered honorary pallbearers.
