IN REMEMBRANCE OF
Tyler Graham
January 20, 2003 - October 22, 2021
The Tyler Graham Foundation began in 2021 following the sudden death of cherished Colchester community member Tyler Graham, 18. Tyler was beloved by all who knew him and made a lasting impact on his community on and off the athletic field. He excelled in soccer and basketball, but his true love was lacrosse. He was known for his sportsmanship, passion and was a natural leader being awarded a captain in his senior year at Bacon Academy. His footwork danced him across the field earning him the nickname Mambo. His athletic prowess was recognized when he was awarded “All Conference” as well as “First Team All-State” his senior year. Tyler was a true team player who looked out for his younger teammates taking them under his wing and encouraging their growth in the sport he loved. Tyler was a graduate of Bacon Academy ’21 and had just entered his freshman year at Western Connecticut State University, majoring in Business Administration and was very proud to continue his lacrosse career in college. To family and friends, Tyler exuded a strong protective streak and was known as the peacekeeper, a skill he perfected growing up between his two sisters. His smile would light up any room he entered and was known for his amazing sense of humor and goofy nature bringing joy to all around him.
We thank you for taking the time to remember and honor Tyler through his foundation.
