Obituary for Tyler Corbett Rico
Tyler Corbett Rico- father, husband, son, brother, grandson, and hero passed unexpectedly on August 30, 2021.
Tyler was born in Oak Harbor, WA to Sheri and Esteban Rico. A graduate of Oak Harbor High School, Tyler enlisted in the Air Force and was stationed in Wichita Falls, TX. Tyler returned home to Oak Harbor after leaving the armed forces. His passion to do the right thing and help those in need guided him to a volunteer position in the North Whidbey Fire and Rescue Department. He rose to the position of lieutenant in just 7 short years. Tyler had strength and bravery in earnest, but his kind and genuine demeanor were what shined brightest- he was a true friend to everyone he met.
Tyler married Ashely Rico in 2020 and together they have six wonderful children. Together they have built a home and a place in the local community of Oak Harbor.
Tyler’s memory lives on in the hearts of those he leaves behind: his mother, Sheri Rico; his Father, Esteban Rico; his sister, Laurin Goodwin; his wife, Ashley Rico; his children: Valerie, Sophia, Aubrey, Phillip, Isaac, and Keighson; his family on the west coast in Oak Harbor; and his family on the opposite side of the country in Miami.
He was loved by all, and we will carry him on in our hearts.
