Tyler Anthony Schooter was born November 15, 1988, in Santa Barbara, CA. He passed peacefully with his family by his side at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center on August 09, 2022, after a brief illness.

Tyler worked at Marian Medical Center as a radiology technician. He loved fishing, camping, golfing, snowboarding, downhill mountain biking, sky diving, and the ocean. He had a close circle of friends which were his chosen brothers Steve, Peter, Dylan, and Brian.  Tyler was the life of the party at every party. His signature prank was to say, "You dropped your pocket," point to the ground, and laugh when you looked down.  He was extremely funny and loved to startle and shock people with his unique pranks and antics, which were always punctuated by his classic laughter and his impish smile. Tyler was loved by everyone who knew him. He was generous and sincere. Tyler cared deeply for his family and his friends. He will be greatly missed.

He was preceded in death by his beloved grandparents, Jim and Lynn Schooter and Joe Guerrero. He is survived by his father, Denis Schooter (Andrea Schiada-Oakes); his mother, Darcie Guerrero; his siblings, Travis Schooter (Tabatha Schooter) and Brittany Schooter; and his niece, Teagan Schooter.
