SOUTH CHINA – Rodney S. Tyler, 51, died Saturday, Dec. 25, 2021, at the Alfond Center for Health following a brief illness. He was born in Augusta, on Feb. 27, 1970, a son of the late Ronald V. and Beverly A. (Lucas) Tyler.

Rod, as most knew him, was a graduate of Erskine Academy and earned an associate degree from Central Maine Community College.

He was employed by Clyde Billing Auto dealership for several years before they were purchased by O’Connor Motors, where he continued to work as a Master Volkswagen Technician. He was known far and wide as the guy to call for Volkswagen help and parts. Rod was happiest outdoors with friends and family camping, fishing, hunting, ATVing and searching for the elusive big buck. Best known as the life of the party and the first to offer a helping hand. His absence from these activities leaves a tremendous loss for all that loved and knew him.

Rod is survived by his wife of 18 years, Lori A. (Wentworth) Tyler of South China; two sons: Lucas Tyler of Montville and Ryan Tyler of South China; a daughter, Lauren Tyler of South China; a brother, Richard Tyler and his fiance Melissa Ingraham of Knox; several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
