Tyler Molamphy

Tyler Joseph Molamphy, 23, of Siren, received his wings with his family by his side on Wednesday, December 27, 2017 at HCMC in Minneapolis, MN. He was born on November 16, 1994 in St. Croix Falls, WI. Tyler’s battle for life started at 14 days old. This is when he started his battle with Hemaphagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Right Away Tyler proved and showed he was a fighter and would continue fighting for 23 years. He received a Bone Marrow Transplant on June 9, 1995 from a wonderful woman, Liz Thurston, which gave him a new chance at life. Life for Tyler was not easy but with every new challenge he took in stride with a smile on his face. Tyler went to school in Siren and loved being there. He had a way about him to make everyone he met fall in love with him. Everyone in the school that knew Tyler, loved him and his infectious smile, naughtiness, his goofy personality, and his stubbornness. When he graduated he moved into Endeavors. A new adventure that he fell in love with and made many new friends. “Little T” was what he was known by there and just like school, it wasn’t long before everyone loved him. The love Tyler had for his family was like no other. No matter how much pain, or how bad he was feeling, he would always find a smile to tell them he was ok. Tyler came to this earth to teach and teach he did. Every doctor, nurse, therapist, teacher, and person he met, he taught them something. He taught his family strength, resilience, love, to never give up, and most of all happiness. Tyler loved summer and every chance he could get he would be outside. His favorite area outside, was Grandma Coni’s back yard. If grandma was too slow to get him outside, he would sit and bang on the back patio door. He loved spending time at grandma’s and driving her crazy. His favorite person ever was his sister. He would do anything for her and when she came in the room he would light up. He could never stay mad at her for long. He loved causing trouble with his brother and together they liked to destroy their sister’s room. Tyler loved all the dogs and every dog loved him more. Tyler was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Lonny Virchow and Larry Moody; his beloved dogs, Bear Dog, Reno, Lexus, and Buster. Left behind to carry on his legacy of love and strength, are his mother Heidi and father Jody, sister Mercedes (Bryce), brother Brady (Paige), Grandma Coni, Grandma Donna, Aunt Olivia and Uncle Marc, favorite cousin Evan, Chad & Lisa Giller, Jason & Eva Moody, Jessica & John Stoeklen, and Jeanine Moody.
