Funeral Service:

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), stepsister, Heather (Daren) Grandstrand; and nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends, as well as special friends, Denise and Amanda.

A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, March 7, 2026, at Boulger Funeral Home and Celebration of Life Center in Fargo, with visitation one hour prior.

  5. Tyler, we have not been close for a long time. However, you were my very first best friend starting the day we moved across the street from your family. I will always have the great memories of our time as friends when we were kids. Although my family moved away a long time ago and we were not the same after, I always knew that you would grow up to be the person you became. A gentle, kind hearted soul that will be missed by many. At one point, I knew you were a big Led Zepplin fan so here’s to hoping you found that stairway to heaven. You will be sorely missed.

  10. My condolences to Bob, Bob Jr, Bobbi, and all of Tyler’s friend and family.

    I had the pleasure to grow up with Tyler in the early 80’s. He was a kind soul with a mischievous smile and a fearless spirit. I have many fond memories of our time together.

    I remember reckless lawn jarts, bow and arrows, fishing trips, fondu nights, and “maybe” slurping a sip of beer (or two) from our parents drinks. Tyler was somebody who you could count on with an infectious smile and laugh that I will never forget.

    Tyler will be sorely missed but never forgotten. RIP Tyler, brother. Eric Moltumyr.

  14. Tyler one of the kindest and sweetest young men that I first met while he was in crib–over his 50 yrs he was always kind and respectful.he kind of guy you would want in your life–handled his health issues with courage–always wanted to know about the mischief Bobby and I got into–so many memories pop up–mostly I wish I was the guy that Tyler was.

  15. Tyler, though you’re gone, your love remains an unending beacon in my life, illuminating every moment. In the silence, I still hear your voice, a gentle whisper that brings me peace. You gifted me the most precious present – your love, which continues to guide me. Though words fall short, know that my heart overflows with love and gratitude. Your absence is deeply felt, yet I’m surrounded by the beauty of our memories. I’m learning to navigate this new reality, buoyed by the strength you instilled in me. My love for you is eternal, a flame that burns brighter with each passing day. You may be gone, but your memory is forever etched in my heart. Our love story may have ended, but its impact will be felt forever. I’ll carry your love with me always, drawing strength from the memories we created. Rest easy, my love, knowing you’re deeply missed. You were loved beyond measure and will never be forgotten. You were more than my partner – you were my guiding star, my rock, my best friend. I celebrate the life we envisioned and the love we shared. Every laugh, every lesson, every late-night conversation was a gift. Your love empowered me, and I’ll continue to shine brighter because of it. You were my soulmate, my heart, my everything.

  19. RIP my dear son. You left us way too soon. I don’t know why except God needed you more than us. You were always my confident as I was yours. Except you did not tell me how sick you were. Im so sorry i didnt know. Now who can I tell my secrets and troubles to? You were the most kind loving helpful person. Always taking care of everyone else before yourself I know you are in a better place. Hanging out with Lucky , JD and your cats. Having talks with your Mom and Grandma. Love you to the moon and back . My heart is broken. Tears falling as I write this. See you on the other side..you can show me around. Love Mom

  20. I am so sorry to hear about Tyler. My condolences go out to the Ward family and everyone who was close to him. I knew Tyler back in my highschool years and have lots of great memories with him. We had good times driving around in his camaro probably listening to Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd. I think we watched The Doors movie about hundred times. He was such a kind soul and was a good friend to everyone he knew. I’m glad I had tbe opportunity to know him. RIP Tyler.

    No words can ever explain away the death of a child. It’s a parents worst nightmare. Know that you have many friends for love and support.

    Love Michael and Marvyl Grinney
