Death of a loved one , brings sadness Thats because we want them to live and be happy and enjoy family and friends. The bible says that will happen Because one day death will be gone. (Revelation 21:4) It also says that those who have died will be brought back to life. ( John 5:28-29) So even though the family is sadden by Tyree death, there is some comfort in knowing he can live again.

A friend of the family

You were such a nice person and would do anything to try and help people. You loved Florida football even when they lost. You will be forever missed my sweet friend. My Condolences to the family.

To the families of Bro. Tyree, We feel your loss. During our every encounter with him it was nothing but with respect for us as older people. He knew his place in life and never forgot how to be kind. I am thankful that I got to be in his presence. Shed your tears its ok. Be thankful for the memories. We pray for your comfort. Bill Walton and Rev. Patricia Walton

He was a great person who will be missed dearly. RIH TYREE

It's a strong blow to me to know that you are no longer here. Now you've joined your mom and Aunt Helen. I'll always remember you as the cool, humorous cousin and you were always so positive. Rest in Paradise, dear cousin. Love, Paula

We all grew up in church together as a family. You looked just like the Michael Jordan & still do as a matter of fact. Never til this day did I think you would leave so soon. With that being said, we should all live our lives as if there is no tomorrow. We say it but most never implement it, including myself. I told myself it's never to late to start. I know you are now at peace & your mom is so heavenly happy to see you. You keep them laughing there as you kept us laughing here. Rest well Tyree. And Tameka, you continue to be strong for his kids, your kids, & his remaining family & friends. Love, Tina Cooper & Family
