Beloved son, brother, and friend, Tyler Aaron Dahl returned to his heavenly home on November 13, 2023 at the age of 28.
Tyler was born on February 7, 1995 and raised in Helena, Montana to Brett and Debbie Dahl, the youngest of three children. He was a gifted athlete in basketball, football, and track/field and an accomplished scholar.
In spite of many health challenges, he graduated from Capital High School in 2014 as valedictorian. Tyler later served an LDS mission Medellin, Colombia before attending Utah State University in Logan, Utah and graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in human biology.
Tyler worked in the field of medical laboratory science at ARUP Laboratories (Salt Lake City, Utah), Ashley Regional Medical Center (Vernal, Utah), and Aureus Medical.
Tyler loved traveling and exploring many states and had diverse hobbies, interests, and talents including drawing, reading, kayaking, snowmobiling, stock trading, shooting, and hiking.
Tyler was a kind and gentle soul with an infectious smile, a big heart, and a kind word for everyone. He willingly gave his time, money, and energy to family and friends. He dearly loved his nieces Londyn, Sophia, and Molly.
Tyler was a ‘budding’ artist who found inner peace and strength in art and learned to express himself through drawings and sketches. Tyler will always be known for his loyalty, honesty, kindness, and good nature.
Tyler is survived by his parents Brett and Debbie, Helena, Montana, brother Ryan (Micah) Severance, Colorado, sister Kristin Riser (Pete) Salt Lake City, Utah, and nieces Londyn, Sophia, and Molly (Severance, Colorado).

We’re so sorry for your loss. Tyler was our son’s roommate in Salt Lake City. While we didn’t see a lot of Tyler during our visits, whenever we did, we always enjoyed his infectious smile and conversation.

Dear Debbie, Brett and Family,
My heart aches for you in the loss of your beloved Son. It’s hard to understand why people are taken from us, but find comfort in knowing you were a special part of such a well loved and lived life. When the Lord calls our loved ones home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange. May happy memories carry you through this sorrowful time, as memories are the legacy of LOVE.
My deepest sympathy!

I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful son. I know his grandparents Ben and Mary were waiting for him with open loving arms. I hope Heavenly Father gives you strength in the days ahead. My prayers are with you.

Brett and Debbie,
I had the pleasure of coaching #3 at Capital High School and just wanted to convey the joy Tyler used to bring to me whenever our paths crossed. He always had a smile that inspired. 6:00 am weight room…smiling. 100 degree two-a-day practices…smiling. I am confident Tyler is in heaven making the good Lord smile as well. I know your strong faith will get you both through this horrible point in your life, and you have the solace of Tyler’s smile to get you through each and every difficult day.
God bless you both
Coach Pat Murphy

Debbie and Bret,
I send you my deepest condolences at Tyler’s passing. It was such a pleasure watching him grow up over the years. He was always a cheerful and bright young man even though he went through some tremendous challenges with his health. My fondest memory of Tyler was when he completed his Eagle Scout project at Helena Industries’ Thrift Store. I was so impressed with his organization, leadership and hard work. The book room that he and the other scouts built was a centerpiece of the store that was appreciated and loved by many people in the Helena community. Although Tyler is beyond our touch and out of our view, he will always be a in our hearts. This life is part of a circle that brings us back to our loving Father in Heaven. Tyler’s circle is complete and he is waiting for you to join him in our heavenly home. May God be with till that day, Wally Melcher
