The community of Roy High School is coming together in grief and remembrance following the unexpected passing of beloved student Tyler Durrant. Earlier this week, it was shared that Tyler passed away due to complications from a medical condition he had been living with since birth. His loss has left classmates, teachers, and families heartbroken as they reflect on the life of a young person who was deeply loved.
Tyler is remembered as someone who made a lasting impression on those around him. Friends and peers describe him as kind, genuine, and someone who brought warmth into everyday moments. His presence within the school community will be greatly missed, and his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
In the wake of this loss, the Roy High community is rallying to support Tyler’s family—particularly his father, who is now facing both emotional grief and unexpected financial burdens. A call has been made for those who are able and willing to contribute toward a celebration of Tyler’s life, as well as to help with end-of-life medical expenses. Any form of support, whether financial or emotional, is being met with deep appreciation.
To honor Tyler’s memory and show solidarity, students are encouraged to wear orange and blue on Monday, April 20, 2026. This simple gesture is meant to serve as a visible reminder of the love and support surrounding Tyler’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.
As the community mourns, there is also a shared commitment to uplift one another. Acts of kindness, remembrance, and unity are helping to carry Tyler’s legacy forward—ensuring that he is never forgotten and that his family feels the strength of the community standing beside them.
