Tyler James "TyTy" Ziegler, Jr.

STOUGHTON - Tyler James “TyTy” Ziegler Jr., was called home on Tuesday, November 12, 2024.

TyTy was born on February 27, 2021. He was eager to join the world and made his appearance early. TyTy spent the first 34 days of his life in the NICU. He came into this world a fighter and fought with everything he had to be here on this earth. TyTy was a very sweet boy. He loved playing in the dirt, burying his monster trucks. He loved his monster trucks, especially El Toro Loco. TyTy always had a huge bucket of monster trucks. He would ask you to grab one and would get sassy if you didn’t know which one to grab. He could name every single one.

TyTy loved going on adventures with his Paw Patrol crew. Big sister, Zamarianah, was always his biggest cheerleader, she helped him through all of his obstacles and was his motivation to continue to thrive. TyTy was a loving big brother to “Mr. Ryatt,” always checking to make sure he was well taken care of and had what he wanted.

He loved helping his daddy outside and would “help” him fix trucks. He was a daddy’s boy, in name and in life. TyTy was mommy’s little helper, pitching in and helping with the chores. Sleeping next to mom was his safe place. He was her little snuggle bug.

TyTy was our superhero. Through every chemo treatment, surgery, and procedure, TyTy showed us what true strength is.

TyTy is survived by his parents, Tyler and Savannah; beloved siblings, Zamarianah and Ryatt; loving aunts and uncles, Rosie Ziegler, Jacob Zahn, Jenna Ziegler, Austin Bartel and Izaiah Johnson; and caring grandparents and great-grandparents, David Mikkelson, Dennel Davenport, David Ziegler, Kelly Putchinski, Angie Ziegler, Wendell Ziegler, Gloria Mikkelson, Leif Mikkelson, Donna Davenport and James Fosdal. He was preceded in death by his brother, Ashtyn Ziegler; great-grandparents, Robert Schwobe, Mary Schwobe and Carl Mikkelson Sr.

A funeral service will be held at GUNDERSON STOUGHTON FUNERAL AND CREMATION CARE, 1358 Highway 51 N. at Jackson St., Stoughton, at 12 noon on Sunday, November 17, 2024. A visitation will be held at the funeral home from 10 a.m. until the time of the service on Sunday.
