Tyrel Woelfel

Tyrel J. Woelfel, 33, of Kersey, passed away on Saturday, July 19, 2025, as a result of a UTV accident.

He was born on February 19, 1992, in Ridgway, the son of Robert and Judy Lundy Woelfel.

On December 28, 2021, he married Shannon Bradburn. Together, they built a beautiful family, welcoming three children into the world: Jaxtyn, Maverick, and Mayzilyn. Ty especially cherished his role as a father, and his children were his greatest joy.

A graduate of St. Marys High School, Ty went on to earn an associate’s degree in mechanical engineering and became the proud owner of Universal Machine Rebuilders. His intelligence and hands-on skills made him a master of his craft; he could fix anything he touched and was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.

Ty was passionate about the outdoors, often seen barbequing or cooking over a fire, sharing laughter and meals with family and friends. He was the kind of guy who was caring, respectful, and honest, and had the ability to make friends everywhere he went.

In addition to his wife, children, and parents, he is survived by his 4 brothers; Wray, Gideon, Cody, and Zeph Woelfel, his best friend PD DeLullo, and his right-hand man, Dylan Hidinger. He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
