Dear family and friends:

Far too early, my sister has lost her husband, her father-in-law has lost his son, and my nephews and niece have lost their father.

We are mourning the loss of Tyson, who has left us unexpectedly and tragically.

Thank you to everyone who has helped and reached out in the last week. This is not the news we hoped to receive nor share. Our family is now trying to process this sudden loss, knowing our lives will never be the same.

Tyson leaves behind his father and older brother. He leaves behind my sister and their three young children. And in all of us, he leaves an absence that will forever be felt, and a presence that we will always miss.

I have organized this to support my sister and her children in the wake of losing her husband and their father. Anything will raised will go toward a memorial service, counseling, and support for their family.

Please keep my sister Jessica, her three children, Tyson’s father and brother, and our family in your thoughts. We are heartbroken.
