Tyrel Lane Baldridge, 20, of Goshen, passed away Thursday, into the loving arms of Jesus, and the greetings of his Grandpa Dale. He was born October 5, 1994 in Goshen to Rose (Stutzman) Baldridge and Tim Baldridge, both of Goshen.

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, W. Dale Stutzman. Throughout his 20 years, Tyrel's life reflected a variety of interests and abilities. His resourcefulness and sensitivity to others bridged many ages and activities, including volunteering at The Depot in Goshen and most recently at Amigo Centre near Sturgis. He was always willing to help family and friends with car issues and computer questions. His creative and idealistic spirit was evident in his writing through journal entries, poetry and short stories. He loved playing soccer and enjoyed his time working at MC Sports. His belief in God was reflected in both conversations and interactions with others, highlighted by his baptism.
