Tyler Jay Whitmire

Tyler Jay Whitmire, 27, of Weatherford, passed away Thursday, September 16, 2021, as a result of a motor vehicle accident while at work, near Marble Falls, Texas. Tyler attended Weatherford Schools, graduating in 2012. He was very successful at racing quads and dirt bikes, starting at the age of 8 and continuing through his teenage years. 

Tyler’s passion in life was to become a Journeyman Lineman, a goal he achieved by working on electrical transmission lines for Irby Construction. Tyler was happiest when working on 138,000 volt transmission lines, 150 feet in the air, or when he was fishing. He was good at his job, and at fishing, and will be missed but never forgotten, by his family, friends and co-workers.
