Tyler Lee Shaulis-Morris

tyler shaulis-morris
Tyler Lee Shaulis-Morris was born on January 11, 1994 in Prince William County, VA. to the very proudest of parents - Donald and Lori Morris.

Tyler had a drive to succeed in life and tried to make each day count. His dream was to build a life together with his loving girlfriend, Miranda. They had recently purchased a home that they were exceptionally proud of. Tyler spent much of his free time remodeling the house and turning it into what he dreamt would be the perfect place to start a family.

Tyler enjoyed spending time with family and close friends, raising and playing with his dog Thalia, video games, movies and cooking (most especially experimenting with new dishes). And when time allowed another favorite past time - just being lazy on the couch in his pajamas. He was clever, creative and crafty. Quoting from a letter given to him in elementary school by a long time and good friend; "Tyler makes old things into new things".



Tyler touched the lives of many throughout his 27 years with his infectious personality, love of children and desire to help others. He was a true mentor, a little league coach, a work colleague, a trusted friend, loving boyfriend and wonderful son.

Tyler passed away on February 10, 2021, suddenly and unexpectedly, of heart complications. He left us in the arms of his loving girlfriend and with a best friend by his side.

He is survived by his parents Donald and Lori Morris, uncles Mike and Tony Morris, grandparents Charles and Chris Morris, aunts Robin and Wendy, cousins, many dear friends and one very adored and loving girlfriend, Miranda Wyman.

  2. You were a great boy and a fantastic young man. You helped your mom and I grow in life as much as we helped you. You were our rock. You will always be our rock though we can no longer see you. We couldn’t have asked for a better son. We miss and love you very much

  3. Tyler was taken from this earth way to soon. He was an awesome young man with so much potential…………….His parents did a wonderful job raising this fun loving, smart and extremely creative young man. Some never find true love, Tyler was able to find what most people never have, with Miranda. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

  4. Tyler was a great caring person with open arms and a helpful hand for all. He will be missed but not forgotten. Dommie will always remember the cuddle times. I will always remember a fine young man.

  5. Tyler was a bright, fun-loving young man and I will always be a better person for having been his colleague and friend. This loss is stunning and devastating. Lori and Don, you raised a fine young man who was light for everyone who’s life he touched. My love to your family and condolences on your loss.

  6. Tyler’s family has been like a part of our family since he was three years old. Watching him grow up and become a wonderful young man with so many gifts. We have many wonderful memories over the years that we will cherish always. Whenever I think of Tyler, it always makes me smile because he was just being classic Tyler, the original. Our deepest condolences to Lori and Don.

  7. The Morris’s were me and my son’s neighbors when we lived in Virginia. I love Lori like a sister and my son and I were shocked and devastated by the news of Tyler’s passing. I loved that kid! He was so funny! The 1st memory I have of him is when he built a snow fort between our two townhouses. It was dark outside, Ian and I had just moved in. We were coming home from somewhere and there was this skinny kid building a snow fort. Tyler is older than Ian and when Tyler asked Ian to check it out, he was a little intimidated. Lori came out, said hi, and ensured Ian that Tyler was harmless. Lol! Ian checked out the fort and was kind of in awe of Tyler. Lori and I became good friends after that. I watched Tyler grow over the next for years…he was such a good kid. Thanks to Facebook, I’ve watched him grow into a fine young man. Now he’s an angel watching over his parents. I am so heartbroken you are gone, Tyler.

  8. Tyler, you were not only the best son anyone could have asked for, but you were also the best nephew. You brought so much joy to everyone around you and especially your Mom and Dad who you made so proud. You were funny, witty, and extremely kind and we will miss you so much. You grew up to be such an outstanding young man and I know you would have done more great things in life. Thanks for being a great role model to my kids (your cousins). They looked up to you so much and I appreciate how you went out of your way to spend extra time with them. They will always have great memories of the times spent with you as I will. In this difficult time, my son reminds me of words you once told him when he asked you how you were able to handle a rough situation a couple years ago. You told him “you have to be strong for the ones you love”. We love you and we will be strong for each other as you would have wanted us to. We will remember and think about you always!

  9. I had the honor of knowing Tyler since we were 3 years old. He was a great friend and brought so much joy and positivity to everyone around him. He was such a caring person, who always put others before himself. The impacts he made on not only me, but everyone he touched will never be forgotten. I cannot imagine going through life and growing up without him. I am blessed to have known him and had him in my life. He was taken far too early from us. My thoughts and prayers are with Lori, Don, and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

  10. Thinking of you all and wishing you peace and comfort. Tyler was an amazing son and person. He will be missed by all who knew him.

  11. Tyler was an AWESOME student. I remember him and Shane and some of the other other guys on my P.E. Committee ALWAYS wanting to help out with whatever needed to be done to set up for Classes and Organize the Equipment Room. He was also a GREAT student in Elementary P.E. Class. There wasn’t anything he wasn’t good at in Class. He will always be considered one of my Best Students at Westgate and will be sorely missed by not only me but everyone who ever met him. RIP Tyler

  12. I was Tyler’s Little League coach throughout his Little League career. With the support of his wonderful parents Lori & Don who assisted me the whole time, it was a memory filled experience. I feel so blessed to have them part of my life and this moment in time of Tyler’s youth. It was a pure joy to watch him grow from a happy little, caring boy to the man he became. A person anyone who knew him would be proud of and would be better off for knowing him. He was a model player, teammate and mentor to the younger players. He always did the best he could with a positive attitude. Any Coach would be happy to have a kid like that on his team. Nothing but praise for him from all my Assistant Coaches over the years. Opposing team Coaches liked him and who he was as a competitor and person. Some of them can still tell me now specific memories of Tyler in games. He developed into a great Little League player and ended his career as a two time All-Star and part of a team that won our District and went onto the VA State Tournament. When his Little League days were over, he still helped me out as a Coach. He would go onto coaching himself. Nothing makes a Coach prouder than one of their former players becoming a Coach themselves. He was a truly loving, caring person who enjoyed helping others. I’m so glad our paths crossed with the Morris’s so we could enjoy this experience together. To see Tyler grow up along with his friends over the years has been a true blessing. What a smart, intelligent man he was. “Hey 9”, “Yes Coach?” I can still see his happy face and hear his voice from all those dugouts, practices and ball fields a long time ago. What a blessing and memories I will always cherish. My deepest condolences to Lori & Don and his entire family. Tyler, you were one of a kind. Rest in peace. I will miss you.

  13. We will always remember the creative and beautiful things Tyler did with Christmas decorations and how magical he made Christmas for the little ones. For we older ones, he was a joy to be around and a young man of impressive talents.

  14. Tyler was simply a fun mix of the ‘best’ of both Lori and Don – going forward, by sharing good times together, his life and memories will be cherished and celebrated in many ways by so many of us who’s lives were touched by Tyler – Rest in Peace ✌️ dear friend – you already know how much you are missed and loved.

  15. I’m so proud to say I hired Tyler into Navy Federal as an intern back in 2015. He was so motivated, genuine, funny, and maybe just a little bit mischevious. Despite the fact that we moved onto different teams, we stayed in touch periodically, and he remembered the little details about my family, which was incredibly meaningful to me. One of my best memories of Tyler was his love for Christmas decorations. His desk was always decked out, and I’ll think of him every year when I decorate with my family. Hugs to Lori and to all of Tyler’s family and friends.

  16. Don & Lori, We are so sorry to hear about Tyler. Even though we hadn’t seen him in a number of years, we have fond memories of him. He is the one who convinced me that rats could make good pets! We are thinking about you and your family. Julie & Doug Scoville

  17. Tyler was a terrific person who had such great potential in life. I worked closely with him for the past 2+ years and I can tell you he had such great convictions in life and was so passionate and clever. I admired his confidence and personality and I’m a better person for knowing him. I love you man!

  18. In his short time here on earth Tyler touched so many lives. We should all be so lucky to have lived and loved as he did. He will always be with us in our memories and will always be with his soulmate Miranda as her guardian angel now, as he was in life. Thank you for your love and strength, and kindness Tyler.

  19. Remembering Tyler’s wonderful and gentle soul will forever remain in our hearts. May he rest in peace and live on within the memories of his loved ones. Love, hugs and prayers to all.
    ~ Love, Jenn, Joe & Darren

  20. Tyler, you graced us with your beautiful soul on earth and you will always continue to live with us, for as long as we live, your presence in the spiritual will be cherished. Until we meet again, love you Ty.

  21. Tyler was a sweet and intelligent person. His care and interest for others was evident in all his actions. Tyler had a kind and gentle soul.

  22. Never met Tyler but heard about him over the years from his loving uncle Tony at work. May he rest in peace and God bless his soul.

  23. I never met Tyler face to face, but worked with him weekly. He was a pleasure to work with. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
