  Tyler Lee Dilly, 37, of Monticello, Indiana died unexpectedly on Friday, May 12, 2023 in Monticello.  He was born Monday, July 29, 1985 in Monticello to Timothy Alan Dilley and Terye Spencer.

     Tyler was born and lived in Monticello until he was eleven years old.  He and his family briefly lived in California and eventually moved to Conroe Texas. 

    Tyler worked in many different occupations throughout his life but the thing he enjoyed most was people. He never met a stranger and always enjoyed making new friends and helping people!  Tyler had a tender heart and a good soul!  He was full of compassion and tried to help everyone he could.

    Tyler was a big part at Calvary Temple.  He regularly took up the offering and helped wherever he could. Tyler enjoyed being involved in everything going on at the church! He loved the Lord and always had a smile and kind words to say to anyone who would listen.

     Tyler always loved to cook and to make new things he had not tried before. In the fall of 2022, he won second prize out of 11 contestants in a chili cook-off. He also made some of the best brussels sprouts anyone would ever want to taste. 

    Tyler is survived by his father, Timothy Alan Dilley, mother, Terye Spencer, two brothers, Timothy Adam Dilley and Stephen Roberts and one sister, Stephanie Roberts.  Also surviving are his grandmother Charlotte Russell, two aunts, Renee Burkett and Angie Burkett, two uncles, Danny Burkett and Michael Russell and former stepfather Mark Roberts.

    A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 2:00p.m. on Sunday, May 21, 2023 at Calvary Temple Church, 1216 West Broadway Street, Monticello, Indiana with Pastor Charlie Roberts officiating.  

Tyler left his mark on the world and in the hearts of those who loved him! Few make good impressions, even fewer in life try to leave the world a better place than when they found it. He was one of the few!
