PHOTO: Firetrucks lined the parking lot, driveway, and streets around Landmark Church in Salisbury on Monday as family, friends, and the firefighting community gathered to honor the memory of Tyler Hamilton.
Hamilton, who had just turned 30, was killed by another man in an apparent murder-suicide in Granite Quarry last week.
Tyler Hamilton was the son of Rick Hamilton and Jill Moore Hamilton.
According to his obituary provided by the Lyerly Funeral Home, Hamilton graduated from North Rowan High School in 2008 and was employed as a plant operator for Salisbury-Rowan Utilities.
Hamilton was a member of Franklin Baptist Church. He joined Franklin Fire Department in 2007 until his death as a volunteer and part time firefighter.
