Al Dompieri of Jerseyshorecarshows.com described Tyler Webb in the following way: "If you were standing in a checkout line at a store and Tyler overheard you saying that you were having a problem taking down a tree, Tyler would politely agree to meet you in your yard and help you out." That is only one of the many stories that have been circulating about this young man. Unfortunately, Tyler and his girlfriend lost their lives on an August day in 2025 when they were gunned down by a jealous ex-boyfriend of his girlfriend.
Tyler was a mechanic and a volunteer fireman whose love for life seemed to be limitless. Out of this tragedy came the "Rescue, Wrench & Ride: The Tyler Webb Memorial Foundation." This organization has written checks to a couple of first responders that have been battling illnesses and given two scholarships to students studying in the field of Auto Mechanics, with one scholarship including a completely stocked toolbox.
On Saturday, September 12th, Jerseyshorecarshows.com and the Tyler Webb Memorial Foundation will be hosting the "Rescue Wrench & Ride Car Truck and Motorcycle Show" at Veterans Park, located at 5025 Bill Zimmerman Jr. Way in Bayville, NJ from 10:00am until 4:00pm. Registration of vehicles is from 8:00am until 10:00am for only $20.00 per vehicle. All of the proceeds will be going to the foundation.
There will be food trucks, vendors, live music, pet adoptions and an RC Vehicle Show. Bethany Taylor will be performing from 10:00 am until 2:00pm. Custom Awards and Trophies will be handed out at 2:00pm. In addition, there will be a Grand Raffle Prize of a 2001 Yamaha V Star 650cc Motorcycle, with the raffles selling for $20.00 per ticket.
