Tyler Hatch, a proud veteran of the United States Army Infantry, passed away unexpectedly on June 26, 2021. Tyler was born February 10, 1965 in Mesa, Arizona. He moved with his Dad and brother to Arkansas in 1976 and attended Cave City School and later graduated from Salem High School in 1983. He attended both Arkansas College (Lyon College) in Batesville, AR and the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, AR.

At the age of 21, MSG Tyler Wesley Hatch enlisted as an Infantryman in A Co, 2-153rd Infantry, Walnut Ridge, Arkansas in the fall of 1986. MSG Hatch graduated from the Primary Leadership Development Course, Basic Non-Commissioned Officers Course, Advanced Non-Commissioned Officers Course and was a graduate of Officer Candidate School Class 31 in July of 1988. Additionally, he attended the Jungle Warfare School in Fort Sherman Panama and was Certified a Jungle Warfare Expert upon graduation. He also was Certified as an Urban Warfare Expert in 1992. MSG Hatch chose to remain an enlisted Soldier upon completion of OCS and transferred back to Alpha Company. MSG Hatch served in several key leadership positions to include Squad Leader, Platoon Sergeant and as Acting First Sergeant during his deployment to Iraq in 2003-2005. MSG Hatch was hired as an Active Guard Reserve Soldier working as an instructor for the 233rd Regional Training Institute where he excelled as instructor for the Infantry Military Occupational Skills Qualification Course, the Non-Commissioned Officer Courses and as a guest Tactics and Land Navigation Instructor for the Officer Candidate School. MSG Hatch deployed twice in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. His first deployment was immediately following ''911'' when the 2-153rd GUNSLINGERS were deployed to the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt in support of the Multi-National Forces Observer Mission. His second deployment was also with 2-153rd GUNSLINGERS as part of the 39th Infantry Brigade in Iraq. Their mission was to conduct patrolling, security and interdiction missions in and around the Camp Taji area of operations.

His awards and badges include: the Bronze Star, Army Commendation Medal (3rd Award), Army Achievement (2nd Award), Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal with Campaign Star, Multi-National Force and Observers Medal and the Combat Infantryman Badge. And numerous other awards and decorations.

Retiring from the military in 2012, Tyler filled his time with family and friends, wagons, mules and horses. He knew something about everything and loved to sit and talk about it all. Whether it was an antique horse bit he had found or the new horse farm that he and Mary were building. One thing is for sure, he had time for you no matter the need….. no matter how small or big. His heart, smile and laugh will forever be remembered.

Tyler is survived by his partner and love of his life, Mary Power; two sons, Rayne Hatch (Amber Scheirer) of Scottsboro, AL and Peyton Hatch of Sherwood, AR; Mary's son, Blaine Turner of the home; his father, Wes Hatch of Bandera, TX and his brother Scott Hatch (Kathy Hatch) of Bandera, TX.
