Tyler Glenn Collins, of Wayne, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, August 22, 2017, at the age of 31.

Tyler is survived by his mother Stacy Collins (nee Wright) and father, Glenn Collins, both of Wayne, as well as two brothers; Kyle of Tortola, B.V.I., Ryan, also of Wayne, and his sister, Tara Anne, who lives in South Lake Tahoe, CA. Additionally, he is survived by his maternal grandmother, Shirley Wright (Gram), his paternal grandparents, Thomas Collins (Pops) and Nicie Collins (Gramma), and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and his Pitbull, Mack.

Born into a family that treasures the outdoors, Tyler loved to be out in the fresh air. In younger years Tyler enjoyed playing soccer, snowboarding, riding quads and dirt bikes, and always loved hiking, camping, and boating. Preferring always to be in outdoors, and never in the classroom, one of his favorite days was in 2004 when he graduated from Wayne Valley High School. He continued his education at Monmouth County College where he received his Associates Degree in Automotive Technology. Tyler had a true talent for and interest in fixing cars and trucks, and put it to use after getting his degree by working as a mechanic, as well as doing towing and plowing. Tyler could fix most anything.

Tyler’s love of the outdoors included a wide variety of favorite places; Normandy Beach, NJ where he vacationed with his family every summer, camping in Brewers Bay Tortola, B.V.I. near his brother Kyle, and Indian Lake NY, where he camped with family and friends as often as possible. For Tyler, work was a means to get to one of these destinations, and he particularly enjoyed traveling and adventuring with his brother, Ryan, who was also his best friend.

Anyone who knew Tyler was familiar with his passion for animals, and his raise and release adventures. He enjoyed horses and had great times as a trail guide at Echo Lake Stables. He was also very involved in Pitbull rescue, which is where he found Mack, and homes for many other puppies..

Tyler was a sweet boy who grew into a loving man. He touched the lives of many people and will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
