Tykey was loved by all and loved all. He was kind, generous, creative, clever, and intelligent and always had an open hand to those in need. His radiant presence will always be with us. His loving and kind spirit will be missed beyond measure but held close in our hearts. He loved animals and nature, being outside with friends, good conversation and socializing. Tykey loved listening to music and attending gatherings with friends and family. He never judged others or spoke harshly of anyone. The world was a fascinating place for him to explore. He lived in Tennessee a few years and the beach was one of his favorite places to go. He was very trusting and could be trusted. Though there were many struggles, Tykey had a strong will and persevered through the hardships but was never bitter and never held a grudge. It was a privilege to know him and to have him as a grandson, son, brother, uncle and friend! He had a free spirit that could never be contained in this world. We know he will be waiting for each of us as we enter the gates of heaven with open arms. Heaven now holds a special treasure that this world did not deserve. We love you and miss you more than words can say! Our most precious Ty!
