A lifelong resident of Vicksburg, David E. Tyler went to be with Jesus, his Lord and Savior on Jan. 21, 2021, at the age of 65 after suffering the effects of COVID-19.

He is survived by sisters, Ruth Martin of Cordova, Tenn., Mary Wilburn of Duluth, Ga.; and his church family at First Baptist Church Vicksburg and many friends and coworkers around Vicksburg and Warren County.
