Obituary For Tyshun McKnight

Tyshun Trevell McKnight was born on March 7, 2000 in Clarksdale, MS to Tyeacia McKnight and Tuvarious Garner. He was the first child born of five.

Tyshun grew up in Memphis, TN and received his education from the Memphis City school system. In his young adult life, Tyshun had a boundless love for cars and went on to flourish in the automotive world, tinting, wrapping and racing cars as the owner of his own business, Typop Tintz.

Tyshun enjoyed spending time with family and friends, always being the life and light of the room. If you didn’t know how to joke, you would be the joke because he was forever “checkin folks,” as he would say. Tyshun’s smile was infectious, everyone he knew was impacted by the love he forever gave. Humility, loyalty, and honor are the principles in which Tyshun was cemented on.

On August 19, 2023, Tyshun made his untimely transition, leaving behind to cherish his memories: his loving and devoted Mother, Tyeacia McKnight Williamson (Bonus Father, Roderick) of Texas, his father, Tuvarious Garner of Mississippi; Grandparents: Cindy Williams (Donald) of Manor, TX, Anesicia Evans of Memphis, TN, Roy Walker of Mississippi; Roderick Williamson, Sr. of Texas; Great Grandparents: Edith Mills of Memphis, TN, Mary Neal of Texas; Siblings: Cayden, Journee, Javion and Bryson Williamson of Texas, and Kentayvious Garner; Aunts and Uncles: Carmecia McKnight of Chicago, IL, Clintece Tillman of Chicago, IL, Jakia Evans of Memphis, TN, Quterris Tribbett (Rochelle) of Oakland, TN,; a very best friend like a brother, Trevion Maclin; his big baby pit bull Scar McKnight, and a host of cousins, family, and friends.

He was preceded in death by his Great-Grandmother, Patsy Paula Burch.

The family will receive friends Friday, August 25, 2023 from 6:30pm-8:00pm. Funeral service will be Saturday, August 26, 2023 at 12:00 noon both will be held at RS Lewis & Sons Funeral Home 2944 Walnut Grove Memphis, Tennessee 38111.

Ty , I really hate this happened to you. I remember I met you at Germantown. You had so much going for yourself . I was planning to get my car tinted soon. I haven't talk to you in a few years but I remember we was starting to get close as friends once upon a time. I really hate that we fell off from talking cause we would've been the best of friends by now but it was probably might fault cause I'm bad at texting back. Damn whyyyy Ty you will truly be missed.❤️🕊️

Tyyyy, I love you. in this life and the next. we got soo much to catch up on when I get up there. I miss you , im so sorry baby boy. all I ever wanted to do was protect you. im so so sorry. I need you to come visit me in my dreams and tell me its okay. pls . me and tootie hurting bad about you boy. 5L 🫶🏽 -Kassidy❤️

Nephew, I will always Love You 🥰 I'm so use to you getting back from anything life threw your way. This time is abnormal to me because you didn't get back up . You only wanted to take care your family and enjoy your car loving on your dog 🐕 and Enjoy your big bed as you would always tell me about it. You know if I could have fixed this situation like i tried fixing other things you would still be here nephew. I love you so much! Watch over us Your Family! Keep an eye on Trevion he need you nephew! You hurt us but I know you in a better place!
