Everton’s Tyler Dibling Mourns Loss of Beloved Aunt
Everton Football Club’s rising star, Tyler Dibling, is grappling with profound personal loss following the passing of his beloved aunt. The 65-year-old woman, a constant source of support and inspiration for the young midfielder, passed away peacefully at her home in Liverpool on Tuesday, surrounded by family.
Dibling, who is still finding his footing at Everton FC, received the devastating news shortly after a training session, prompting him to immediately take leave to be with his family. The club has granted him compassionate leave, with no set date for his return as he focuses on supporting his family during this difficult time.
While Dibling’s achievements on the pitch are still developing – his senior team debut in the 2025/26 season and a handful of Premier League and League Cup appearances marking his early contributions – his dedication and potential have quickly made him a fan favorite at Goodison Park. However, football has understandably taken a back seat as he mourns the loss of a woman he deeply cherished.
“Tyler is a strong young man, but this is a heartbreaking time for him and his family,” said Everton manager, in a statement released by the club. “We are offering him all the support he needs and respect his need for privacy. The entire club sends its deepest condolences to Tyler and his family.”
Details regarding the funeral arrangements will be announced in due course. In the meantime, Everton FC has asked that the privacy of Dibling and his family be respected as they navigate this period of grief. The club’s supporters have already begun to express their condolences and support for Dibling on social media, demonstrating the strong bond between the player and the Everton faithful.
