After graduating from high school Tyrel moved back to Heppner, during this time he met Melissa, Martin and started working for Martin's Construction. They had two beautiful children, Meadow Marie and Willow Shaelyn.

After his dad's passing, his love for Idaho drew him back to the area. Tyrel started his own business TSW. He did beautiful work, flooring, carpet, and tile work, it had to be perfect for his customers. Using his mathematical mind, he designed geometric shelves for his customers. While living in Idaho, one of the most peaceful places for Tyrel were the mountains. He would sit for hours writing his thoughts, beautiful letters, and poems. Selling firewood for the residents of McCall was also a passion, because he was in the Idaho mountains. Tyrel also welcomed a son, Tyrel Shae Walker Jr. on February 16, 2024 in Idaho.
