Tyler was raised by his mother Jennifer and stepfather Charles Dinnis from the age of six. A picture of Tyler with his mother can be seen here.

Tyler has stated:

I’m Jamaican and Italian so I’m wired to snap, not in a bad way, but I have a temper and that’s not the way you’re supposed to handle situations. I’m not a dictator, so if things don’t go my way, that doesn’t give me the right to be a crab apple or be rude to someone. I caught myself in certain situations where I wasn’t in control of what I was feeling and therapy helped me to gain that control.

Tyler’s maternal grandfather was Clarence Claude Lepley (the son of Clarence Claude Lepley and Cora/Corra Lucella Dunkle). Tyler’s grandfather Clarence was born in Pennsylvania. Tyler’s great-grandfather Clarence was born in Pennsylvania, the son of Zenus Eugene Lepley and Barbara Anne Deeter. Cora was born in Pennsylvania, the daughter of John Warren Dunkle and Ethel M. Bell.
