Tyler Leslie Warner, 13 years young, died Monday, March 11, 2024, at WVU Children’s Hospital in Morgantown, WV.

He was born February 24, 2011, in Weston, WV, a son of Patrick and Deanna (Koon) Warner. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his brother, Sawyer Warner; grandpa and grandma Dave and Debbie Koon; aunt Danielle and uncle Shaun Lipps;  Uncle Devin Koon; cousin,  Emmalea Lipps and several great aunts and uncles, extended cousins and friends who loved him dearly.
