My husband Jono & myself Kristiana Italiano long life friends and with the blessing of Dean, Nicole, Mia, and Ali, I’ve created this fundraiser to honor the life of our beloved Tyler.
On Tuesday, June 10th, our world was shattered when we received the devastating news that Tyler had suddenly passed away.
Despite the swift response of emergency services, Tyler tragically passed away, leaving an irreplaceable void in our hearts.
Tyler was a vibrant 19-year-old with a heart full of dreams and a spirit that touched everyone he met. He was a true cowboy at heart — he loved motorbikes and Landcruiser’s. He worked on many big stations such as Pardoo Station and Liveringa Station plus also loved driving dump trucks and dozers in the Mines. His main love was bull riding and rode at many Rodeos thoughout WA.
He lived for the land, the adrenaline, and the lifestyle that came with it. It’s how he found joy, freedom, and pride in being exactly who he was.
Unfortunately for Tyler he faced challenges that no young adult should ever have to endure. After over coming a huge hurdle in life, the pressures of social media platforms like Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram weighed heavily on him. Despite those struggles, he showed immense courage and resilience.
We are incredibly proud of the young man he was and the strength he carried. In the wake of this tragedy, we aim to support the Cochrane family with the unexpected expenses that come with such a loss — including funeral costs and time away from work to grieve and heal.
Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference and is deeply appreciated.
If you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this campaign with your network would mean the world to us.
Thank you for your love, support, and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
