Ty Haugen, 28, of Arroyo Grande died Monday, Feb. 2, 2004, during an invasion of his home.
A private family celebration of life service will be held.
Ty was born Jan. 15, 1976, and spent his life between Arroyo Grande and San Luis Obispo, attending school and later being active in the restaurant business.
Growing up, Ty was active in surfing, golf and soccer. He also enjoyed relaxing, watching sports and dining out, which led to his interest in the restaurant business. His most enjoyable times were spent with family and close friends.
Ty will be remembered for his infectious laugh and his loving nature. He was never seen without his two best friends, his dogs, Max and Oliver. He loved passionately and without reservation and his family and friends feel so lucky to have had him with them for this short time. Even at his death, Ty demonstrated his generous and loving spirit by donating organs so many others could enjoy a rich and fulfilling life.
Ty loved and leaves behind his father George K. Haugen; mother Toni Haugen; step-mother Trish Haugen; and grandmothers, Dorothy Correia and Mary Haugen. He never left without giving them a big hug and kiss and saying ?I love you.? Ty was also much loved and survived by his aunts and uncles, John and Susan Haugen, Claude and Leasa Haugen, Suzanne and Garry Evans and Chuck and Lisa Correia; and many cousins.
Memorials may be made to the Woods Humane Society, 4679 Broad St., San Luis Obispo, CA 93401.
