Trying to find the words to write this is truly unsettling but here we are. Tysean J. Nelson was a vibrant, brilliant, intelligent man of God. Honestly, he was a superstar athlete and student. On behalf of our family, we are asking for any contribution to help make Tysean’s transition a beautiful one.

Tysean was a hard worker, honor roll student, scholar, top football, and lacrosse player to name just a few of the amazing attributes that he had. This year he completed his first term at William Patterson University. After catching the eye of many schools he hoped to further his education at the University of Miami or Rutgers. 

He leaves behind his legacy, a new baby boy on the way, his mother, father, older sister, and many loved ones. Friends, Cousins, teammates, and more. If you knew Tysean you know that his personality was like no other, he could light up any room he walked in. As it pains me to write this I ask for your support and prayers for our family as we learn to live with this new norm.

Please give both parents Trini and Sean some time as they get through this. Any contribution is appreciated.

With love,

Shawn Nelson
