"Tyler’s life story can never actually be told because there are too many parts unfolding of the people he has met, he has helped, and impacted along his way," Webb's obituary reads.

Webb was a beloved member of the Ocean County community, wearing many hats in the Pinewald Pioneer Fire Company, volunteering with the NJ State Forest Fire Service and serving as a mechanic for Berkeley Township.

He started with the company in his teenage years, joining through the Boy Scouts of America Venture Crew. Webb became a full member the day he turned 18, the fire company said, and attended the fire academy as a kick off "an extraordinary 11 years of dedicated service."

"He served with honor in many roles, including Lieutenant, Chief Engineer, Trustee, and Chairman of the Backroom Committee," the fire department said. "No matter the position or the task, Tyler always stepped up and gave his all."

Two fundraisers have been launched in honor of Webb. A GoFundMe has raised more than $15,000 as of Friday and a Meal Train that's raised more than $17,000.

"Please keep Tyler’s memory alive, one burnout, one middle finger, & one shot of whiskey at a time," Webb's obituary reads.
