Tyrone’s story is heartwarming and filled with fond memories. His love for sports, family, and clever ways to get what he wanted shines through. In the halls of Sparkman High, he roamed, a graduate of ’12, Tyrone was known. Football, tennis, R.O.T.C. in his stride, The RAIDERS team, where camaraderie thrived.
An Engineering dream, he ardently chased, a smile that could light up any space. Tyrone, the charmer, knew just the trick, sweet-talking Mom for game-day’s tasty pick. “Rotel cheese dip and Wings,” he’d request, spoiled, perhaps, by his mom, dad, and grandparents, but cleverly expressed. Laidback Sundays, online games galore, family and friends, laughter at the core.
Alabama’s Crimson and White held his heart, game days with loved ones, a cherished part. Jerry Damson Honda, years of dedication, United Rentals, coworkers’ admiration.
Tyrone’s legacy extends beyond his immediate family. As a supportive uncle, he fostered a love for soccer in his nephew. Their shared passion for the beautiful game created bonds that transcended generations. Tyrone’s smile lives on, not only in memories but also in the joy he brought to those he loved.
Tyrone was blessed with a “mini me” in his son Kash, a dedicated father who also had much love for his dog and cats, Rain, Percy, and Bash. Tyrone’s legacy lives on, forever bright, A beacon of joy, in memory’s light. May Tyrone’s spirit continue to bring smiles to those who remember him.
