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.

"Tyler wasn’t just the township mechanic — he was our mechanic," the Berkeley Township PBA said. "He took pride in making sure our patrol vehicles were safe, reliable, and ready for anything. But more than that, he cared about the people behind the wheel. Tyler would go out of his way to help any one of us, and his commitment never went unnoticed."
