Tyler James Grimes, 25, of Asheville, North Carolina passed away unexpectedly on January 20, 2022.

Tyler is survived by his mother, Lisa Grimes; his father and stepmother James and Sandra Grimes; his brother Kyle; two step sisters Katherine and Valentina; his paternal grandfather James Grimes Sr.. He is predeceased by his maternal grandparents Lorraine Kert and John Forte; and his paternal grandmother Kay Grimes.

Tyler was born November 17, 1996 in Port St. Lucie, Florida.  He most recently worked at 828 Electric and Sheer Comfort Heating & Air Conditioning.  He graduated from Martin County High School in Stuart, Florida, studied at Indian River State College and served in the United States Army.

Tyler was a devoted son and brother and was a friend to all he met.  He had a zest for life that was contagious to all who knew him. He loved going to the gym and spent a lot of his time working out. He had a passion for skateboarding, boating, four-wheeling/off-roading and was an avid New York Giants fan. After his move to North Carolina, he discovered a love of hiking, rafting and the great outdoors. Tyler had an amazing spirit and was known as the jokester amongst his friends - they called it "Grimes Time" because he loved to make people around him laugh.  He will be deeply missed.

A celebration of Tyler's life is being held at Forest Hills Memorial Park, 2001 SW Murphy Road, Palm City, Florida on Thursday, February 3, 2022.  Visitation is from 2pm-4pm, with service immediately following at 4pm. Afterwards family & friends will be gathering at Townies Tavern in Palm City to raise a glass in his honor. .
