Describing the actor as a “sweet soul and wonderful friend to all of those who knew him,” Maurice continued, “Tyler was an advocate for better mental health and substance use treatment who openly spoke about his struggles with bipolar depression and alcohol.”
Tyler starred as Nikolas Cassadine on General Hospital from 1996 to 2016, a role that won him a Daytime Emmy. In addition to his work on the ABC series, he portrayed Stefan DiMera on Days of Our Lives from 2001 to 2019.
However, the role Tyler treasured the most was being dad to son Greysun, 14, and daughter Boheme, 8, who he shared with ex Brienne Pedigo.
