Published in the Star Tribune from 4/9/2004 - 4/11/2004.

Marine Corps Cpl. Fey was assigned to 1st Combat Engineer Battalion, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Pendleton, California. Fey was killed by hostile fire. Tyler was a happy, lovable, good kid who loved life. He graduated from Academy of the Holy Angels in Richfield, Minnesota in 2000. Shortly after graduation, he enlisted in the Marines. He was proud of his decision to be in the service and serve as a combat engineer. In February, he returned to Iraq for his second tour and was scheduled to return to the United States in August. Friends remember how he went into the Marines as a fun loving kid and returned from his first tour in Iraq as a man – he learned something over there. Tyler liked snowboarding and planned to attend vocational school when he returned from Iraq. His personal awards include the Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal and the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon. Marines carried Tyler's casket to his grave, then saluted him one last time with white-gloved hands. Then, as they walked away from the grave, they remained stoic for as long as possible but one by one, they knelt and cried.
