He grew a lifelong passion for playing the drums and guitar which he loved playing for his family, especially his daughters. Tyson was good at everything he set his mind to. As he grew older one of his most prized accomplishments was becoming a father to his 2 beautiful Daughters Angel and Rosie who he loved dearly. He also was pretty proud of becoming an uncle. Tyson was an expert gardener and loved spending time outdoors. He was a carpenter by trade and was so proud of the 2 log cabins he most recently built by hand.
