Tyler Mark Noesen
4/23/81 - 1/8/12
Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.
Tyler Noesen died of pancreatic cancer after a 5 1/2 year battle. He died peacefully at home with his loving wife the morning of Sunday, January 8, 2012.
Tyler was raised in San Pedro and schooled in Long Beach. He attended South Shores Elementary, Longfellow Elementary, Hughes Middle School, and Poly High School. As a child he played baseball and basketball at Bogdonavich Park, roller hockey and indoor soccer at the Lakewood YMCA, and soccer with San Pedro AYSO and Long Beach United Soccer Club. He played the saxophone in the Poly band.
He surfed, scuba dived, water and snow skied. He loved Catalina. He was an Eagle Scout. Tyler ran cross country and track and was the 1998 Moore League individual cross country champion, but more important to him was that he contributed to three state high school championships. He was an International Ambassador at Poly.
UC Berkeley was his college, graduating in 2003 as a mechanical and materials science engineer. He ran in college, living in the “track house,” which was “like a fraternity, only dirtier.” Tyler spent one summer on a fishing boat in Alaska. He was employed by Raytheon Corporation for 10 years as an engineer in the DPA (Destructive Physical Analysis) department. Tyler was interested in national and international politics and his recent reading list and dream was to be a Foreign Service Officer.
Tyler met Eva, the love of his life, at Cal in 2002 (she was from Switzerland). They were kindred spirits: traveling, competing, and living life as an adventure. They married in 2006. Despite his profound disease, Tyler’s last years were full of fun, laughter, friends, travel and joy. He is survived by his wife Eva, his parents Dennis and Yvonne, and many uncles, aunts and cousins. Read more about Tyler at tnoesen.blogspot.com.

We love you and miss you already, Tyler. Dennis, Yvonne, and Eva I am so sorry for your profound loss and sending you strength and light.
Tyler's dad notes Tyler's many accomplishments. He knew much success in his short life. He had every reason to be vain and yet was quite humble. He made each of us feel that we were the center of his universe when we were in his presence. His warmth and humor were contagious.
Although he is no longer with us physically his warm spirit will stay with us for our lifetimes.
We love you.

I will miss you Tyler. I wish I had kept in touch and I was with you at all times. I miss fishing on your dads boat. The schroeders love you and your family.
I am so, so sorry for your loss. Gone far too soon. My mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last August. I commend you for the work you are doing to raise awareness about this terrible disease and hope for those who are living with it. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Tyler and family,
Your story is amazing and I am so sorry I did not have the pleasure of meeting you Tyler before you had to leave. I lost my father to pancreatic cancer April 2010. Hopefully we will find a cure soon. Sending my love and good thoughts to Tyler's wife and parents and friends and family.
Dear Eva and Tyler's Parents,
It is with great sadness that we have learned that Tyler passed away. Please accept our deepest condolences.
May God be with you, and Bless Tyler’s soul.
Love,
Thithui and Hocine
