HUDSON FALLS – Tylor Ryan Michaud, 31 of Hudson Falls found peace on Wednesday, August 3, 2022, after a 15 year battle with drug addiction.
From a very young age it was apparent that Tylor never met a ball that he didn’t like. He could throw, catch or hit just about anything and was passionate about sports throughout his life. He played on numerous soccer, baseball and basketball teams, until his graduation from Hudson Falls High School in 2009. As an adult, his athleticism took the form of hiking, working out and/or biking on a daily basis. He was always in shape and ready for his next adventure as he liked to put it.
Tylor’s struggle with addiction began in his late teens in the form of opioids and quickly progressed to heroin by his early twenties. Throughout the battle he never gave up, continuing to remain optimistic hoping to set himself free from the ongoing cycle. He tried his best to stay clean, attended meetings and willingly entered rehab centers across the country. Although his addiction robbed him from reaching his true potential, his incredible smile, kindness and loving heart, always remained. He had friends and family that loved him and he loved them, spending time with them when he could. He was so much more than just a statistic and will be sadly missed by those who knew him. Our hope is that he has found the peace that so desperately eluded him on Earth.
He was predeceased by his grandparents, Robert and Beverly Gleason and Sondra Michaud all of Hudson Falls, his uncles, Cesar Sanchez and Timothy Breene and his cousin, Austin Lutz.
Tylor will be forever missed by his loving and supportive parents, Paul and Linda (Gleason) Michaud of Hudson Falls, and their dog, Bentley; his grandfather, Joseph Michaud; his grandmother, Tekla Michaud, along with several aunts, uncles, cousins and numerous friends.
The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Paul Filion, Sonya and staff at Irongate Center along with all the people at the Baywood Center, for their ongoing support.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Wednesday, August 10, 2022, at St. Mary’s/St. Paul’s Church, on the park in Hudson Falls at 11:00 am. All are welcomed and casual dress is preferred.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Hope and Healing Recovery Center, 2 Maple Street in Hudson Falls.
May God hold his son Tylor close in the palm of his hand and may his family and friends be comforted by a lifetime, much too short, of fond and loving memories. May Linda, Paul and Ty’s story remind us all that life’s journey is never easy, but that love and caring for each other will always make it better.
Thank you. Shattered 💔 hearts just don’t heal.
I hope this is not insulting to your family but I think you should know in at least my mind being up front about the “why” behind your lost was an honor to Tylor. I’m very sorry for your lost! Doing this might help someone else and also bring additional awareness that we share in this social problem. Thank you
It’s not important who I am…rather we all know there is a problem that needs attention!
Thanks.If we can help one person.
Linda & Paul…there are no words at the heartache you are feeling…so deeply sorry for your huge loss. We know that your hearts are breaking. Tylor sounds like a kind and loving soul. RIP Tylor…Sending love and many hugs..
Deborah and Rene Brochu
Thank you so much
Mr & Mrs Michaud, my husband Scott Larsen and I are deeply saddened about the recent passing of Tyler. I enjoyed him so much as a student at HF. I wish we had known sooner than the FB post I just read. We certainly would have made every attempt to honor Tyler at the services held a few days back. FYI, Both Scott and I had a lot of laughter and smiles with Tyler as a trumpet player during his HFIS and HFMS years. May his soul Rest In Peace from the demon I’ve experienced one too many losses from! People need Jesus! May you both seek Him for comfort and healing during these grief filled days! With much love, honor and prayers sent your way! Diane Larsen
Thank you so very much

Thanks very much

Paul and Linda,
My heart breaks for you. I have no words to express how sorry I am. I appreciate you both for your guidance and friendship.
Paul and Linda, so sorry for your loss. I know Tylors struggle was real. Im sure your sense of loss grand. But know Tylor touched many in a positve way. Ill awlays remember that smile greeting me at the mailbox as an adult, but most of all from little league as a young man. So young to pass on, but the memories are ours to cherish. Prayers to you both. God bless.
