Brenda Joyce Tyler

Brenda Joyce Tyler was born in Houston, Texas, on June 18, 1961, to the late Kathleen Evins and Lawrence Taylor. She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Stephen Tyler; her daughter, Stacey Johnson; her granddaughter, Ava Jackson; her sister, Debbie Williams; and her step-father, James Evins.

She leaves to cherish her memory to her children: Landale Johnson,

Tyesia Johnson, Tracey Johnson, and Rebecca Johnson; her beloved grandson, Decorrylls Pierson, whom she lovingly raised as her own and who called her “Momma”; and her nephew, Chikei Williams, whom she also raised alongside her children. She also leaves to cherish her memory her grandchildren: Nikaria Johnson, Niyah Johnson, Decorrylls Pierson, Clyde Johnson, Jamorrian Johnson, Kelsey Mitchell, Camron Johnson, Casey Johnson, Tayden Turner, Isaiah Lovings, and Ari Parker; her great-grandchildren: Kaomi Leon and Key’Mani Broussard; her siblings: Edna Johnson, Milton Johnson, Kenneth Johnson, Lawrence Johnson, Jacqueline Williams, and Melvin Johnson; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will miss her dearly.

Brenda will be remembered for the way she loved without limits, gave without hesitation, and stood strong through every storm life placed before her. She was genuine in a world that often isn’t, loyal to those she loved, and a source of strength for her family, friends, and even strangers she met along the way. Brenda had a rare gift of making people feel seen, valued, and cared for. She carried the burdens of others as if they were her own and never turned away someone in need.

Her life was a reflection of selflessness, resilience, and unconditional love. Though her presence will be deeply missed, the lessons she taught, the love she shared, and the lives she touched will continue to live on for generations to come.
