Obituary of Tyler Michael Barnes

Tyler Michael Barnes was born on December 19, 1984 in Tulsa, Oklahoma in a perpetual state of stubborness. As his older sister would say, even from a baby he just wouldn’t cooperate. This would go on to define Tyler as a wildly fun and exciting personality and he could very quickly get to know a person and relate with them. He would often take it as his own responsibility to make sure those around him were having a great time, even in an otherwise torturously boring environment. Tyler would go on to operate his own pest control company and he eventually discovered that the boss would let him off any time he wanted, and he loved taking advantage of this. Fun was the priority in his life and he had a passion for mountain bikes and motorcycles, but his extreme personality had him “oscillating hourly between anguish and exhilaration, multiplying fantastically the grandeur of his victories and exaggerating tragically the seriousness of his defeats,” as he would quote from his favorite book, Catch-22. Tyler’s truly greatest achievements are the daughters he leaves behind, Rendi and Katarina, and he loved bragging on them. Despite his haphazard approach to life, Tyler was deadly serious about loyalty to his family and his belief in Jesus Christ. Tyler went to be with his dad and the Lord on January 12th, 2021 after sustaining an accidental head injury. A celebration of life service will be held at Sapulpa First Baptist Church at 10:00am Monday, January 18th. Please send flowers/cards to First Baptist Church in Sapulpa or directly to the family. www.greenhillok.com
