Tyler Steven
Hawker

The person behind the legacy

Remembering his life.
Carrying his love forward.

Tyler Hawker is remembered as a loving father of two children, a cherished son, brother, uncle, and partner. He was caring and determined—a go-getter who kept a smile on his face no matter what life brought his way. Most of all, he cherished both of his children.

His place in their lives is more than the loss they experienced. He remains part of their family, their story, and the love behind this foundation.

Always their father

Tyler’s love for his children is at the heart of the legacy Sherron carries forward. His death changed their lives forever, but his place as their father remains. Remembering him means making room for his name, his face, and his place in their family’s story.

“Tyler's life, his love for his children, and the impact of losing him is the inspiration of this foundation. This foundation carries his legacy forward by helping families find the support and village I wish my kids and I had.”

— Sherron Ward, Founder

A legacy rooted in love

The Village After Foundation was created in Tyler’s memory. Through support for children and the people raising them after loss, Sherron is honoring the love that came before—and helping other families find a village for what comes next.
