Tyler Justin Torres, 29

Tyler Justin Torres passed on Thursday, June 9, 2022, at Yale-New Haven Hospital.

Tyler Justin, affectionately known as TJ by his family and loved ones, was born on August 29, 1992, in Derby, Connecticut, to Valorie Duclerc and Alvin Torres. 

TJ was an avid, passionate fan of the NY Giants football team. He would never miss watching a single game. On any given Sunday, you could hear him talking to the players or the refs through the TV or telling Alexa to send a message to his Uncle Dukie boasting about the team. He also loved watching Wrestling with his nephew Chris. When he was not watching sports, he would be into a good old action movie. He loved listening to oldies R&B and Salsa music with his mom. While she danced around the house, he would be singing right along with her. He was also a rap fan with one of his favorite artists being Eminem. 

TJ was caring and giving and so supportive of all his loved ones. He was his happiest being around his family. When his brothers, sister, nephews, and nieces would gather in his room for family time, he would be smack dab in the center with a smile on his face. 

TJ’s memory will forever be cherished by his mom and dad; brothers, Augustine and Alvin; sister, Valene; five nephews, 2 nieces, and his furry best friend, his dog, Lucky.
