Tyler Andrew Luedtke
06/19/2001 — 10/19/2006
From Kennewick, WA, US | Born in Richland, Washington
Tyler Andrew Luedtke
Tyler Andrew Luedtke, 5, of Kennewick was born June 19, 2001 in Richland, WA and passed away October 19, 2006 in Kennewick, WA. He lived in Richland 1 year before moving to Kennewick.
Tyler attended preschool for 1 year at Rainbow Montessori in Kennewick. He had just started Kindergarten at Canyon View Elementary in Kennewick. He had talked of riding the bus to kindergarten since he was 3. His first day at Canyon View Elementary was his greatest achievement.
Tyler was an artist. He drew pictures with amazing detail and enjoyed drawing and coloring pictures. For Tyler, it was year round Halloween as youd frequently find him dressing up in one of his favorite costumes Spiderman, Ninja Turtles or Power Rangers. You could always count on Tyler for a good sword fight.
He had the opportunity to be Washington State Patrol Chief for a day.
He was the first grandchild on both sides of the family. He was always very happy and energetic. He was always very outgoing and made friends very easily. In his short 5 ½ years, Tyler had more friends than most people have in a lifetime. Tyler had a wonderful sense of humor and constantly made people around him laugh and smile.
Tyler touched the lives of hundreds of people, even many people who never had a chance to meet him personally. Though he spent the majority of his life battling cancer, he rarely complained. Looking at Tyler you would never know he was sick; he brought so much joy to peoples lives.
People that were blessed to have known Tyler can say with all honesty, their lives will be forever changed. What a blessing he was!
Tyler is survived by his parents, Heidi Ehlis and Brian Luedtke; grandmothers, Tina Rowsell-Sickenberger and Lori Ehlis; grandfathers, Tim Ehlis and Kent Luedtkke; great grandparents, Dixie Kinmark and Cliff Porter; Ron and Sharon Kinmart, Glenda Hammer, Howard and June Koppe; and great-great grandmothers, Olive Sparrow and Olive Kinmark.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Floyd Sparrow, Kkatherine and George Ehlis, Jerry Plunkett, great uncle, Mike Ehlis, plus many aunts, uncles and friends.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, October 24, 2006, at Cathedral of Joy. Interment will follow in Sunset Memorial Gardens, Richland
Visitation will be at Einans Funeral Home from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Monday, October 23.
Memorial contributions may be made Neuroblastoma Society or the Humane Society.
Sorry I didn’t get to stay
To laugh and run and play.
To be there by your side.
I am sorry that I had to die.
God sent me down to be with you,
to make your loving heart anew.
To help you look up and see
Both God and little me.
Mommy, Daddy, I wish i could stay.
Just like I heard you pray.
But, all the angels did cry
when they told little me goodbye.
God didn’t take me cause he is mad.
He didn’t send me to make you sad.
But to give us both a chance to be a love so precious… don’t you see?
Up here no trouble do i see
and the pretty angels sing to me.
The streets of gold is where I play you’ll come here too, someday.
Until the day you join me here,
I’ll love you oh so dear.
Each breeze you feel and see,
brings love and a kiss from me.
You and your family are in my heart!!
Tyler,My life has been much enriched because I had the opportunity to meet such a wonderful courageous person. I am just sorry to see you go, but you are where pain and suffering is no more.

Heidi,
We are thinking of you and send out love and prayers and Tyler, Happy Trails to you little Cowboy.
Love
Grandpa & Grandma Snyder
Even though we never met Tyler in person, when we learned of him through our son & daughter in law, we felt a special bond with him that only became stronger with time. We came to love him very much and prayed and prayer for him. What a special child and what a little fighter. Tyler is a class act! We will never forget him.
Thanks for the good times buddy! Nicholas and I will never forget the goodtimes we had with you and your Daddy!
So sad about your loss. He really was a trooper. Tyler was a sweet little man. May he run and play with all his brothers in heaven. Love Jana
I don’t know your family, but having a child of my own and another on the way- I can’t imagine what it’s like to lose someone so dear to my heart. He’s a precious little angel now that is watching over the both of you!! Hold each memory to heart and know he is smiling down upon you right now.
God Bless your family
Brian & Heidi,
Are thoughts and prayers are will you both through this very dark time in your life. Knowing what it is like to lose a son, we can only tell you to trust in God, let family and friends help you through this very hard time. I know someday the pain will ease and the memories will bring comfort, just as they have done with us.
I remember the birthday party we had for Tyler last year in our backyard with the big “Blue Dog” bouncey toy, and finding other little kids to come over so he would have fun. I am not sure who had more fun in the bouncey toy Dad or Tyler but it was precious. Thank you for sharing Tyler with our family he will stay in our hearts forever. We are all here for you, please remember that.
We love you both,
Patty & Ed Gire
Brian Barton, Ken Barton, Erika & Tom Watkins, Willie Gire
OUR THOUGHTS AND LOVE ARE ALWAYS WITH YOU ALL. WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR COURAGE AND STEADFASTNESS.
AUNT MARY AND MARY ANN COHEN
Our deepest sympathies to your family. Please know our thoughts are with you at this very difficult time. James and Julie Holland
Tyler was a great friend. I liked to play coloring with him. He was good at everything I played with him. I will miss him. I am sorry for you to lose your son. I know he is in heaven and we will see him soon. He is still in our hearts. Love, Adella
We are very sorry for your loss, you will all be in our prayers.
I remember Tyler fondly when you first arrived to the Ronald McDOnald House. We had been there for a few months with our daughter, Janaleah, and she was just 1 year older. I remember introducting Tyler’s Grandma, Lori, to another family with a child that had neuroblastoma. I can enter into your loss completely as it was 2 years ago on Saturday that our Janaleah passed away. I know we have managed due to the comfort from God and Jesus. May you all know that peace and comfort too. We truly express our condolences.
I knew Tyler only during the last year of his life. For the most part, I saw him when he was a guest at my house when his mother and grandmother were over in Seattle to get treatments and tests at Children’s Orthopedic Hospital. I remember him fondly as a very normal 5 year old, always wanting to engage you in conversation or games. My favorite and most heard quote: “That would be a good idea!”. My fondest memory of Tyler was a day where his grandmother, Lori, and I took him on a ferry boat ride. We walked around town and bought him pretty much whatever he wanted even though he couldn’t eat it all!. My heart goes out to all his family, who showed such love and devotion to Tyler during his short life. All of you are an inspiration to a great many people.
We didn’t know Tyler but his obituary sounds like we had an angel here on earth. Now there’s another one in Heaven. God bless and comfort all of you through Jesus Christ.
Brian,
Tim and I first met Tyler at your graduation from the WA State Patrol Academy last February. We could see how very proud he was of you and as you were of him. How lucky Tyler was to have you as his father. We truly believe that God sends us his angels in the form of our children. Tyler was definately one of God’s special angels.
Brian and Heidi,
Jocelyn and I send our deepest and most heartfelt condolences. Tyler was a neat kid with a tremendous impact on those he met, us included.
Brian, I remember you and I sneaking away from the terminal for a short while, so you could give him his shots and I could meet him at the Ronald McDonald House; he was in his Spiderman gear and full of smiles! How you hugged him and showed your love when he cried after the shots, I won’t forget. Or when you brought him by work one afternoon and the whole crew sat outside with him drinking coffee..he was just “one of the guys”!!! I am so glad I had the chance to meet him and have some terrific memories!
Take care of yourselves and God Bless!
Scott, Jocelyn and Kai
Mr.& Mrs. Luedtke, I never had the chance to meet Tyler but I feel like I know him. My sister, Kim Gough and my nieces, Karlie & Britney knew Tyler and loved playing with him.I loved hearing stories of Tyler and what he liked to do. He had a spirit about him–we should all strive to enjoy life like he did!! Tyler has been in my prayers the past few years and he will continue to be as well as your family. May you find comfort, strength and love in his memories. Lynette Sali
You don’t know me, but I just want you to know my prayers are with you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss.
Dear Brian and Heidi:
I will miss Tyler very much. I very much enjoyed clowning for him this last August. I will always remember his smiling face. Tyler has touched my heart and my life. I will never forget him. He will remain in my heart forever. My deepest sympathies go out to both of you. You are in my prayers always. I pray that Jesus will comfort you.
With deepest sympathies,
Richard Melendy, BigTop the Clown
Lori and family,
just want to let you know that we are thinking of you and hope that with time and patience the good memories will shine through the hard times. Take care, love ya , jody
Tyler-

Heidi & Brian,
The tribute you both did for Tyler was amazing! His services were beautiful, just like Tyler. Our prayers will continue to be with the both of you. Tyler will be missed but will always stay in our hearts…
Tyler, we never knew your sweet little angel face, but you are a very handsome young man, and a very brave one. I,m sure you made mommy and daddy so proud of you.
We can see you now with jesus’s school of angels dancing and singing free from the pains your sweet little self endured here on this earth for the short stay you had. What a sweet and brave boy you must have been, and how blessed mommy and daddy were for being honored with your sweetness. You truely are a graduate into his kingdom. you’re beautiful.
Thank you Heidi and Lori for giving your family,friends, and others the gift of Tyler…I know, I’ve said it before but in his short little life you shared him with so many people. That was an extremely generous gift and because of it, you have changed many people’s lives forever. In doing so, you also connected people in new ways and actual friendships became stronger. Tyler’s spirit will always be with all of us because of it. Please know, too, we will remain connected and bonded to you forever. We love you!
Dixie, Lori, Heidi & Brian –
Tyler brought the hearts & prayers of many people into each of your lives as so many of us prayed for all of you during Tyler’s illness. I heard about awe inspiring Tyler & his admirable family through my friends, Mary&Mary Ann Cohen and Betty&Don Brown a couple of years ago & joined the prayer community for Tyler & his family. You all will continue to be in my heart & in my prayers. God bless.
tyler
i love you
youll always be my superhero.
i miss you. you were truely amazing. and i am very glad to have know you.
and your pictures you drew for me… ill always treasure them… they are so special. there isnt any words to describe it. i just miss you… everytime i see a picture of you or spiderman. my eyes water. i wrote a poem.
“sorrow”
sorrow is tear-drop blue
it sounds like rain, gently falling on the pavement
it tastes like baking soda and flour
it smells like dirt, fresh after rain
sorrow looks like the wind blowing leaves across the empty playground
it makes me feel as if my heart were crying.
sorrow is blue, like the bottom of the ocean
it sounds like waves crashing into the peir
it tastes like depression, a poison
it smells like salt water
Sorrow looks like people wearing black
it makes me feel melancoly.
Sorrow is as black as the 6 ft. hole in the ground i could fill with my tears
it sounds like sobs coming from your surrounding friends and family
it tastes like the salty tears streaming down my face
it smells like moldy bread
Sorrow looks like a lonely best friend, red-faced and sobbing
it makes me feel as if ive lost someone very loved.
sorrow is the feeling that consumes me, now that i have lost you to THAT ENEMY.
Heidi and Brian,
My heart goes out to you both, arms open in condolences for your loss. All my memories revolve around him as a very healthy little boy, one with wide open eyes, ready to take on the world, and one who was never shy of taking a short nap on my shoulder. Tyler took on the world head on. He has touched many lives near and far and will always be in my heart.
Brian,
Our prayers and thoughts have been with you during this difficult time. Although I only met Tyler once, he definitely left an impression that continues to bring a smile to my face. Please know that we are here for you and continue to keep you and Tyler’s mother in our prayers.
Hugs and love,

Tyler will never be forgotten. I thank YOU for sharing him with me. Even though he was in my life for a short time, he has made a lasting impact. He always had a smile on his face and brought joy to all of us around him. I’m glad I was able to provide that “first day of kindergarten” for all of you. He showed us all that inspite of what he was dealing with that you can always find something positive in every situation.

We felt that we knew Tyler even though the only time we saw him was at “Tyler’s Dance.He was having so much fun with his friends. You could feel all of the love for him at that party.
He was such a courageous little guy and we loved hearing Dixie tell us about the funny things he said and did. You will have such wonderful memories to cherish about this little angel.
Please accept our sincere sympathy and know that we pray for you.
Love.
George and Billie
Are prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Heidi and Brian,
My prayer for you is that the sharp edge of your grief is over shadowed by the warm memories of Tyler. Every memory I have of Tyler is of his dimples and big smile. He was such a cute baby with a huge gummy dimpled smile.
With all that he went through, he was still such a normal happy kid.
Tyler, God be with you till we all meet again.
Hello, I know you don’t know me. I just wanted to say my thought are with you and your family at this hard time. May god be with you.
Heidi and Brian
My heart goes out to you in this time of grief. You both are in my prayers and I hope that you can cherish the happy times you have had with Tyler the most. I will never foget that little guys smile. He will be forever missed. Love to you both!
I never had the opportunity to know Tyler personally but I remember pictures of a beautiful wide-eyed little boy. Heidi, grandmas Lori and Tina and aunt Lisa all shared his progress and setbacks with me through his illness. My heart goes out to all of the friends and family who love him so dearly and cared for him so devotedly.Tyler is playing with his friend Gabby now and is free of pain but those left behind have to learn to live without him, which leaves an enormous void in all your hearts.My prayer for your family is for God to help ease your sorrow and to hold Tyler as dear to Him as he was to you here on Earth.
Our most sincere thoughts are with you. Tyler was one of the most inspiring little boys and we are so very lucky to have had him in our lives and in our family, even for such a short time, he made us all a little better. Our prayers are with you.
Love always,
Abby and Robert
Your family is in our thoughts!
In celebration of Tyler’s life a star has been named in the International Star Registry, “Tyler Luedtke Our Hero”. So when you cast your eyes upon the midnight sky, we will remember what a spcial gift he was and will always be.
Tyler-
The God who made the stars, made you. He put you on this Earth at a precise time, to accomplish wonderful things. You did that and more. Our only regret is that your cousins Madison and Mackenzie never got to play with you. We will see you soon.
Heidi & Brian,
We love you and are praying for you. If you need anything, we are here.
Love,
Craig, Kimberly, Madison, & Mackenzie McDermott

We send our sympathy in the loss of your little Tyler. We never got to meet Tyler but got to know him from the e-mails we received. My God help the two of you get through this part of your life. Aunt Doris
