Tyler Jared Fugate was born November 4, 1990, in Davenport, the son of Keith Fugate and Rachel Thompson. He married the love of his life, Meghan Leamy, on October 6, 2018, in Rock Island, Illinois.

Tyler embraced his inner nerd with pride. An avid gamer, he found joy in everything from tabletop adventures, especially Dungeons & Dragons, to online gaming sessions with friends across the country. His creativity shined through the intricate dioramas he built and the miniature figures he carefully painted. He also enjoyed cooking and sharing good food with those he loved. Above all else, Tyler treasured time with his family. His greatest accomplishment and deepest source of happiness was being a devoted husband to Meghan and a loving father to Eva, Lylah, Madison, and Duncan.

Tyler is survived by his wife, Meghan; four children, Eva, Lylah, Madison, and Duncan Fugate; siblings, Jesse (Alondra Marquez) Fugate, Dylan (Sarah) Fugate, Rylee (Cody) Bingman, Chase (Makenzie) Luebbe, Cody (fiancé Elizabeth Payne) Luebbe, Cooper Bellinger, and Cya Bellinger; and his cat, Dani. He was preceded in death by his parents, Keith Fugate and Rachel Thompson.
