Tyler John Dietrich, 33, of Lancaster area passed away on April 29, 2025. He was born in Lancaster to John and Tracy Dietrich and was a lifelong resident of this area. Tyler was a graduate of Penn Manor High School with the Class of 2010.
Life with Tyler was a true adventure. He was a self-taught expert on many subjects, especially all things involving wildlife and the ocean. He created and operated his own company, Sofishticated Aquatics, specializing in saltwater fish and coral reefs. A true animal lover, Tyler had a great respect for all living things and was an avid outdoorsman.
He enjoyed spending time in nature, oftentimes in his tree stand. He was a creative soul who grew up playing the cello and enjoyed photography. He had a great eye for capturing wildlife- with his camera, and his hands. He always had an adventurous, daring, and brave spirit.
Anyone who met Tyler could agree he was very charismatic, witty, and intelligent. He never shied away from meeting new people and leaving a lasting impression. Tyler however, could likely scare you with his many pyro-obsessed hobbies and risk-taking shenanigans.
As a loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, and uncle, Tyler adored his family and treasured spending time with them. Tyler will be truly missed by his parents, John Dietrich of New Providence, Tracy Dietrich of Lancaster; two sisters, Jenna Sohne, wife of Noah Sohne of Brooklyn, NY, Olivia Dietrich, partner of Jalita Boffman of Rockville, MD; a nephew, Kove Sohne of Brooklyn, NY; his grandfather, Ted, husband of Mary Schreiber of Columbia; numerous aunts and uncles, a few close members including- Brenda Cloud, Brian and Vivian Schreiber; cousins including Heather Hersh and Justin Schreiber.
Those who knew Tyler also knew of his special bond with his beloved cat, Kitty. She quite literally found him during one of his hunting trips, and they have been attached at the hip ever since. Tyler was a kind and good-hearted soul, and his memory will forever live in the hearts of many. Tyler’s family would like to ask that the next time you have a quiet moment in nature, to think of his spirit and the memories that you shared with him.
A celebration of Tyler’s life will be held at a later date and will be announced by his family.
