Police identify Jenison man killed after being struck by tree branch

Those who knew Hemmes were struggling Saturday night to come to terms with the sudden death of their friend. “He’s just one of the nicest guys you could ever meet,” said Adam Fuller, 29, who lived across the hall from Hemmes. 
Tyler Hemmes, 26, of Jenison, was killed Saturday evening when a tree branch hit him in the chest in the woods behind his apartment building when he was walking with friends. Hemmes had been pulling on the fallen branch, which was suspended off the ground and stuck in trees. The branch came loose and struck Hemmes in the chest, knocking him to the ground. Hemmes’ friends called 911, and he was declared dead at the site.
