Tyler Shipman

July 18, 1991 — February 14, 2010

Lifelong Frazee resident, Tyler Shipman (18), lost his earthly battle with cancer at his home in Frazee and went peacefully to meet his Heavenly Father on February 14, 2010.
Tyler Jay Shipman was born to Jay and Daneele (Stoll) Shipman on July 18, 1991, at Dakota Hospital in Fargo, ND. He attended Frazee High School as a senior until his illness. Tyler was baptized at Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Detroit Lakes, MN on September of 1991, and confirmed in St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Evergreen, MN on April of 2007.
Tyler was a very active young man who loved life. His favorite hobbies were snowmobiling, fishing, hunting, riding his ATV, and hanging out with his friends. One of his favorite past-times was fishing with his dad and brother Carter. He also worked very hard with his dad building up their business, Shipman's Tree Service. Tyler loved cars, especially Pontiac Fieros, and was fortunate enough to see his pride and joy fixed up to pristine condition in the last months of his life. He loved to drive fast and race anything with anyone. He recently began to take up RC remote control car racing and also completing model car kits. He smiled a lot, laughed a lot and was a blessing to those who knew him well. In the last months of his life battling cancer, he taught us all about bravery. His life was made better by the friends and family who surrounded him, and we will be forever changed for having Tyler as a part of our lives.
