Tylor R. Holzhauser, age 27 of Leicester, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, February 13th, 2026. He was a son of Joshua and Tina Marie Riddle. Tylor was proceeded in death by a brother-in-law Brian Hughes and an uncle Rickey Hensley.
A devoted follower of Christ, Tylor found great joy in preaching God’s Word and sharing his faith with others. He spoke with conviction, compassion, and a heart devoted to serving the Lord. His faith was not just something he talked about—it was something he lived every day.
Outside of his ministry, Tylor embraced life with enthusiasm. He loved the freedom of riding his motorcycle, feeling the open road beneath him and the wind at his back. He also enjoyed unwinding with video games, where his competitive spirit and sense of fun always shone through.
Family meant everything to him. He treasured time spent laughing, talking, and simply being present with those he loved most. Whether bowling a few frames, roller skating with a smile, or just enjoying a quiet evening together, he created memories that will be cherished forever.
He will be remembered for his strong faith, generous heart, playful spirit, and unwavering love for his family. His life touched many, and his impact will continue in the hearts of all who knew him.
