His sunrise was on July 31, 1954, to Jewel Mae Elizabeth Gray in Sedalia, Missouri.  He was called home by his Lord and Savior on January 19, 2022. Tyrone came from a very large family who are all close and dear to his heart; he loved them all the same.  Tyrone was one of the biggest fans of the Kansas City Chiefs.  He also loved to go fishing.  Tyrone was a Real Estate agent in Lompoc for over 20 years and was very well-liked and respected by his colleagues.

Tyrone is survived by his six beautiful children: Tyrone, Jr., Jerell, Krystina, Leslee, Jordyn, and Marcell. He is survived by seven grandchildren: Airiana, Zebadiah, Tesha, Rolondo, Dojanné, Daemoni, and Romeo. He is also survived by his fiancé and longtime love, Angie, his brother Keith (Keto), and numerous cousins: Dave, Doris, Sharonfae, Devicka, TC and Sydney, just to name a few.

He was a man with a heart of gold who fiercely wanted to help and protect all that he loved.  Tye was greatly loved by many, and he is greatly missed by all who knew him.

As per Tyrone's wishes, there will not be a viewing or a funeral service.  A celebration of life will be announced at a later date due to Covid and out of respect for all of his family who lives out of state.
