Tyson enjoyed basketball, baseball, reading and learning scientific subjects. Tyson loved hanging out with his mother and best friend, when Tyson hungout with his mother, he loved fishing with her at the second tower and having supper there and he loved going to his moms for her homecooked meals. He also cherished and loved family dinners so much, that was also his most joyful moments. He also, loved swimming, blasting music in his apartment and singing out loud and in the jeep as we cruised around Fort Frances. Tysons love for his guitars and guitar playing was so immense, he also, spent time playing video games. Tyson also, loved to have visits with his cousin, Jasmine Smith, and his friend, Codey Vien. Tyson, was so special, he will always be special in everyone’s hearts that knew him. Tyson was soft spoken and spoke the truth without hesitation, he was a very honest young man, his truth was funny and sincere. Tys was genuine and a very sweet gentle soul. Tyson would never hurt anyone and or their feelings unless he had to speak up for himself. Tyson had his own way of doing things, his life was hard to live on a daily basis, but he did his best to carry on day-by-day, year-by-year. Tyson will surely be missed by his family and friends. Tysons family and friends have their own special memories that they cherish and will always remember this young man, brother, cousin and most of all a son, to his mother.
