Tyler William Pryce, 25, of Sherwood Drive, Montpelier died Friday, August 26, 2011 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. Ty, as he was known to family and friends, was born in Berlin, Vt. on November 5, 1985, the son of William R. & Jamie (McCann) Pryce. He was a beloved son, brother, grandson, cousin, nephew and friend to all who knew him. Ty attended public schools in Montpelier and was a 2004 graduate of Montpelier High School. He attended New Hampshire Community Technical College, studying telecommunications. Ty was an avid sports enthusiast, having played baseball and soccer up through the years, but hockey held a special place in his heart. Almost from the time he could stand, Ty had a hockey stick in his hand, coming up through the Central Vermont Sports Association youth hockey league. Ty was a four-year varsity player on the Montpelier High School hockey team. He carried on the tradition of wearing #12 on his hockey jersey, the same number his father wore, also a standout high school hockey player. Ty was also an unabashed Montreal Canadians fan, chiding family and friends for their allegiance to his arch-nemesis team, the Boston Bruins. He was also a devoted Red Sox fan. Anyone who knew Ty knew his love for motorcycles and cars. He loved attending car shows and probably had as many pictures of vehicles on his camera as he did family and friends. True to his nature, he worked as a parts assistant at Twin City Subaru in Berlin at the time of his death. Ty had a cadre of close friends that would fill a stadium, many he had known since grade school. He was known for his infectious smile and had an admitted goofy sense of humor that will be sorely missed. He was a hero to his many cousins, who looked up to his 6 foot 3 frame in more ways than one. Ty had an extraordinary close relationship with his sister, Haley, and showed a very special side of his wonderful personality to his girlfriend, Elizabeth Sinclair. Tyler is survived by his parents, Bill & Jamie of Montpelier; sister, Haley A. Pryce of Montpelier; paternal grandmother, Doris A. Pryce of Montpelier; maternal grandfather, Arthur J. McCann, Jr. of Lyndonville; his soulmate, Elizabeth Sinclair of East Montpelier; aunts & uncles; Scott & Janet Pryce of Middlesex; Cristine Pryce and partner Fred Varney of Calais; Julie & Martin Kelley of Berlin; Casey & Christine McCann of Lafayette, Calif.; Kellie Pearson of Santa Barbara, Calif.; Darcie McCann and husband Douglas Steward of Lyndon; Demsey & Corrie McCann of Montpelier; and 19 cousins. He was pre-deceased by his paternal grandfather, William R. Pryce, Jr.; maternal grandmother, Beverly D. McCann and uncle, Stephen M. Pryce.
