Tyler Louis Van Guelpen, 40, of Saint Andrews, New
Brunswick passed away on October 28th, 2021, surrounded by love and
support from his family and friends. Tyler was a true warrior during
his battle with cancer, always bringing a positive attitude and
cheering everyone up around him in his extended
fight.
He was born at the Charlotte County Hospital on April
21st, 1981. He is survived by his loving wife, Alison (Ladd), and his
proudest accomplishment, his beautiful daughter Bretton, of St.
Andrews; parents Louis and Laura Van Guelpen of Chamcook; sister
Bethany Van Guelpen and husband Anders Brolin, and dearest nephews
Oscar and Erik Brolin Van Guelpen, of Umeå, Sweden;
father-in-law and mother-in-law Glenn and Debra Ladd, of Fredericton;
brother-in-law Jeremy Ladd of St. John, and godson Luke Henderson of
St. Andrews.
Tyler graduated from the University of New Brunswick,
Fredericton with his Bachelor of Business Degree, and was a familiar
face in the halls of Jones Residence. Upon completion, Tyler made
connections around the province with various roles in the
pharmaceutical industry as well as lasting impressions during his
employment in the Provincial Government. In recent years, Tyler was
appreciative of the love and support of his co-workers at his employer
Mowi Canada East.
Tyler was always a proud Chamcooker and loved living
in the community of Saint Andrews. He was known as someone with a gift
to connect with people and form lifelong friendships. Tyler was a man
who gave everything and wanted nothing in return. His impact on the
community was evident at a fundraiser for his benefit that filled the
WC. O’Neill Arena to its greatest capacity in
decades.
Although he was extremely modest about his hunting
skills, Tyler was an avid and successful hunter who had a reputation
for always getting the biggest bucks. He also loved snowmobiling and
won multiple trophies with his passion, strength, and determination
for the sport. Tyler also loved working out at the gym and pursuing a
healthy lifestyle. He was a positive role model and mentor to many
youth in the community. Above all else, he was an incredible father
who, even during his toughest days, got out of bed to cherish every
possible day with his world, his daughter
Bretton.
Charlotte County lost a good friend in Tyler Van
Guelpen.
Our appreciation goes to Dr. Luisa Galvis and staff
at DECH, Dr. Brian Peer, staff at SJRH and Charlotte County Hospital
for their dedication and care.
A Memorial Service will be held at the All-Saints
