Tyson Waid

Tyson was an extraordinary boy that touched so many lives in his short time. His sweet smile that melted your heart. Early on, it was apparent he had a love for all sports, but baseball was his favorite. He loved the Atlanta Braves, especially his buddy Charlie Culberson. He would sit for hours watching recorded games, highlights, and pitching baseballs to anyone that would hit them.

He loved listening to music which was primarily 90’s country music. His favorites were Garth Brooks and Brooks & Dunn. He would sing and dance to their songs over and over. Tyson’s favorite movie was Toy Story. He was obsessed with anything that had Woody or Buzz on it. He always wore something Toy Story, whether it be a hat, shirt, or socks. Some of his favorite activities were playing with his dishes and his babies. Many days were spent setting these up in exact order for him and listening to his sweet giggle when one fell over.

Tyson loved his family so much, from his snuggles with Mama to watching the games with Daddy. He loved his sister (Bubba) and always looked for her and wanted her around.

Tyson is preceded in death by maternal grandfather, Ken Williams.
