Albert, Joann “Annie”, Darnell “Yank”, and Viola “Stink” preceded him to glory.

Tyrone was a loving father to four boys, Damien, who preceded him in death, Daryl, Tatum, Marquis.

Many years ago, he met the love of his life, Brenda D. Cooley. In 2011, Brenda and Tyrone were joined together in holy matrimony and from this union, he gained two daughters, Tia and Chania.

He grew up in East Baltimore, and received his education in the Baltimore City Public School System.

Tyrone joined the Old Landmark Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Reverend George Cockrell, during the 1980s. He knew, loved, and had a relationship with the Lord. He was a dedicated member who served on the Usher Board, Male Chorus and Pastor’s Aide. He was very fond of his church family. He often spoke of his sister-in-Christ, Abbie. During the summer months, he would travel to Virginia to fellowship with his church family and aid them in any way needed.

Tyrone loved music and dancing.  For many years he had his own social club on Broadway called “The Boom Boom Room.” He enjoyed concerts and was a very sharp dresser.
