He will be missed dearly by family, friends, and many loved ones that he left an immense impact and lasting impression from personality, laughter, and many "isms" that were uniquely "Tyrus".

He never shied away from how he felt and how much he loved you. He had his fears, wept proudly, and put his heart and trust in the Lord, with whom he knew very well. Tyrus began to have heart problems in the Summer of 2023. His passing came as a shock to us all.
