Tyler Les Nudell, aged 59, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 2, 2026 at his home in Mesa, Arizona following a courageous battle with cancer. He was surrounded with love and his family at his side. He is remembered as a loving husband, devoted father, trustworthy brother, proud uncle, and loyal friend.

Tyler was born on June 1,1966 in Fargo, North Dakota. Tyler’s love for his hometown was lifelong. Even after moving away, he proudly told people where he was born and grew up. He had such good friends from Fargo and absolutely loved being a part of the West Fargo Class of 1984.

Tyler was a true family man. He loved to share memories of growing up with his parents, brothers, and extended family. Tyler’s devotion to his family continued his entire life. As a husband and father, he loved spending time as a family, doing activities together, or just hanging out at home.

Work was an important part of Tyler’s life. He worked in the restaurant business in multiple management roles for many years, then joined Love’s Travel Stops working as an Other Income Specialist. He had a work ethic like none other and gave 100% every day. Even while battling cancer, he remained dedicated and driven. Work was a priority for him, and he continued to show up and do his best.

In 1993, Tyler Nudell and Becky Anderson were united in marriage. They made their home in Omaha, Nebraska, where they grew their family. They welcomed two daughters, Emily Jo (1995) and Grace Meredith (1998). Tyler loved being a dad! The family moved to Mesa, AZ in 2003.

Another passion in Tyler’s life was his love of sports. Many days were spent rooting for his favorite teams: the Minnesota Vikings, the Arizona Cardinals, and the Arizona Diamondbacks. He knew countless sports facts, kept up on the latest sports news, and enjoyed finding and collecting memorabilia.
