Tyler William Cordle, 2 1/2

Tyler William Cordle, 2 1/2-year-old son of Jason and Kristine, passed away Monday, Aug. 16, 2010, at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, Wash., after a valiant 18-month battle with cancer. 

Private family services will be conducted at a later time.

Tyler was born Oct. 12, 2007, in Sandpoint, Idaho. From the time of his birth even in the midst of difficult times, he exhibited an exuberance and joy for life. His glowing personality warmed everyone around him. 

Tyler was all boy and enjoyed being outside whenever he could. He liked riding the lawn tractor and his dirt bike, but when circumstances arose he could be just as contented being inside holding his favorite stuffed dog, “puppy,” playing with someone’s cell phone, or playing with his matchbox cars.

Tyler is survived by his mom and dad of Kootenai, Idaho; his grandparents, Rusty and Laura Cordle of Sagle, Idaho, and Bill and Donna Armbruster of Careywood, Idaho; great-grandparents, Charles and Darlene Harpole of St. Maries, Idaho; great-aunt, Linda Armbruster of Hayden, Idaho; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Family and friends are invited to sign Tyler’s online guest book at www.coffeltfuneral.com.

Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Coffelt Funeral Service of Sandpoint.
