Tyler James Ward

Tyler James Ward, 50, of Fargo, ND passed away suddenly at his home on Tuesday, February 24, 2026.

Tyler was born (a whopping 2lb. 2oz.) on November 3, 1975, to Bob and “Tiny” Ward. He graduated from West Fargo High School and went on to receive his business degree with honors from Rasmussen University.

Tyler worked in the transportation industry for most of his career, most recently as a dispatch specialist at J-Mar Enterprises. Along with two lifelong friends he purchased Boss Automotive in Fargo where he was an owner/partner. He was an avid Twins and Vikings fan with a recent passion for pistol target shooting at a local indoor range with his brother and friends.

He loved traveling to Mexico as well as visiting his dad and mom in St. George, UT. He was an avid pet lover especially his two wonderful German Shepherds, Nico and Ozzy and his cat, Dean.

Despite many health issues and suffering, Tyler always remained loving, caring and helpful to everyone. Tyler rarely or ever said a negative thing about anybody. He will be missed by everyone he touched with his love, dynamic personality, and smile.

We miss you so much, RIP Tyler.

Tyler was preceded in death by his mother “Tiny” Ward; and his grandparents.

He is survived by his dad, Bob Ward (Cheryl); brother, Bob Ward Jr. (Jami); half-sister, Bobbie Ann (Benji); and nieces and nephews as well as special friends, Denise and Amanda.
