Update as of November 26, 2025

On Saturday, November 22nd, Tyson took his last breath surrounded by his partner, best friends, and family. With incredibly heavy hearts, we share that he leaves behind his children and a life gone far too soon.

Arrangements are currently being made for cremation and a celebration of life in Utah. His ashes will be shared with family and friends.

We are truly devastated. Yesterday was supposed to be the day he came home from the hospital; instead, it became the day we had to accept that he will never come home again.

If you can give anything further to support his partner, Brittney, and his children during this time, it would be deeply appreciated. These are unimaginable, heart-wrenching circumstances, and every bit of support brings comfort.

Thank you again for holding Tyson and his loved ones in your hearts.

We want to thank everyone who has donated and supported Tyson over these past few months. Your generosity has meant more than words can express.

A Facebook group has been started in memory of Tyson if you'd like to share photos and memories. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571959720810666/

Update history

Tyson is facing a life-threatening medical emergency, and his family needs our support—his partner, his baby, and his other children.

Just a few weeks ago, Tyson was hospitalized with severe pain and diagnosed with an inflamed liver. After three days in the hospital, he was sent home with medication and instructions for follow-up care.

On the morning of Thursday, September 18, Tyson’s partner found him unresponsive and immediately called an ambulance. He was rushed to the ICU in Kirkland, Washington, where he remains in a coma. Soon after his arrival, his kidneys began to fail, and doctors have been trying to stabilize him with dialysis.

The reality is heartbreaking. We are holding on tightly to hope, prayers, and the possibility of recovery. If he pulls through, the road ahead will be long and difficult, likely involving ongoing dialysis, a future transplant, and extensive care.
