Tyler Spieker
Tyler Spieker, age 24 years of Sheboygan Falls, formerly of Random Lake passed away Tuesday, June 1, 2010 at his residence. He was born October 27, 1985, in Sheboygan, son of Thomas and Annette Mueller Spieker. Tyler graduated from St. John’s Lutheran School in Sherman Center in 2000 and from Sheboygan Lutheran High School in 2004. During High School, he was employed at Mueller Sales and Service in Random Lake. He was a 2005 graduate of MATC. He worked for H & H Utilities and was currently employed at Plymouth Utilities as an electrical lineman. Tyler took much pride in running Spieker’s Sweet Corn business which he started with his brother Ross. He also enjoyed time spent on the family pumpkin farm which he operated with his family. He loved racing which took Tyler into stock car racing with his cousin Jeremy. Many hours spent building and racing “The Car” developed friendships and teammates. The Grand National Championship of 2007 was a special source of pride. Many of his hobbies took him outdoors. Hunting, snowmobiling, motorcycling and most recently fishing with his brother took much of his free time. He had a special fondness for the family dog Riley. His love for family and his kind heart will never be forgotten. Tyler had a strong faith and loved his Lord and Savior as witnessed by his confirmation verse, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46: 1 NIV
