Tyler Lee Waters, 27, of Glennville, passed away Saturday, October 25, 2025, after facing several health challenges.
He was born March 30, 1998, in Savannah, to Scott and Kerry Waters. From an early age, he was known for his kindness, unwavering loyalty and strong sense of character. He touched the lives of everyone who knew him with his gentle spirit and generous heart.
A 2016 graduate of Tattnall County High School, he went on to earn a fish and wildlife technician diploma from Ogeechee Technical College. He had a deep love for wildlife and a special bond with his beloved dogs, Ranger and Dave, who were constant companions and a great source of joy in his life. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. Being in the woods is where he felt closest to God and most at peace.
He was a great-grandson of the late John Henry and Louise Jones Justice and great-great-grandson of Edward Benjamin "E.B." Sr. and Georgia Lee Jones.
Survivors include his parents, Scott and Kerry Waters; his brother and sister-in-law, Will and Rebekah Waters; his maternal grandmother, Nancy Justice Wilson; his maternal grandfather, Joel Williams; his paternal grandparents, Hal and Shirley Waters and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.

A celebration of his life will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28, from the chapel of the Glennville Funeral Home with the Rev. Jerome Davis and Elder Jason Deal officiating and a family eulogy by Delbert Bland.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to a charity dear to Tyler’s heart—Peggy Anderson’s Pet Rescue Fund at Ringer Veterinary Hospital, P.O. Box 280 Reidsville, GA 30453.
