Hello,
We wanted to let your family and friends know that we are sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Tyrone L. Chisholm US Army Sergeant.
We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

It has truly been my honor to sign Tyrone's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Tyrone will always be remembered in my home.

Chis,
I miss you bro. I remember walking over to the Fox Troop HQ after you guys got back from your first tour. I was the new guy coming over to join the Troop. I walked into the front office area and there you sat on CQ. You kindly welcomed me to the troop and even took the time to walk me around and show me where everything was. From then on, we became good friends all the way up until the day you passed. It was a hard day for all of us. You are a very special person to Fox troop. Ill see you again at Fiddlers Green. Take care until we meet again my friend.

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Tyrone, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

The family of Tyrone Chisholm,
With every day that breathe is blessed into your bodies, we must remember the gift of life. Time is but a mintue to GOD and we should be honored to have lived it.
I meet Tyrone my freshman year at Groves High. We soon learned that we had many thing in common like the same English teacher, same math class, as well as the same last name (which we laughed that the teachers would always miss the second H is our name).
Thank you for sharing a wonderful perosn with the world. My prays are with you and may GOD be with until you are reunited again.
With Blessing & Peace.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

I signed earlier when I read your passing. I do not know you or your family but each day I have gone in and read the entries from friends and relatives. I could actually see you making a checker board just as was told. That brought back such memories of my younger days when you made fun at a time when you didn't just run to Wal-Mart. I sit here now with tears falling as I think of your family and those sweet little girls that have to go on without you, and especially on this day as they bid you farewell. But I smile as I think of the love you had for all and the love that flowed your way. God Bless your guardians that did such a fine job molding you. God Bless you soldier and keep your family close to him. REST IN PEACE.

I would like to send my deepest condolences to the Chisholm and Wilson family. It was like yesterday when I shook Ty's hand and talked to him about the past and future plans. Ty was like a brother to me. It's an honor, and a privilege to know a person like Ty. I also enjoyed playing basketball with Ty and competeing
with him in practice to better our game. Ty is a role model for our community, especially the young guys from West Savannah. Ty was a good person, and May God Bless and protect the Chisholm and the Wilson family.

To the mother and family of Sgt. Tyrone Chisholm:
I served as your son's platoon leader during his first tour in Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-2004)I knew your son as the then PFC Chisholm, one of the tank drivers in the platoon. I want you to know how good of a soldier Sgt. Chisholm was. He was very proud of his family and his upbringing in Savannah. Me being from Atlanta myself, we used to joke together when others would talk about they're state or home town.
I was supposed to be leading him, but I often felt motivated and inspired by his overwhelmingly positive outlook on life and poeple. He brought laughter to his platoon mates and all the guys in the platoon liked being around him. I grew very fond of all the soldiers in my platoon, but Chiz (as you know we called him) was a very special soldier. He taught me many things but he never realized it.
One day I noticed Sgt. Chisholm making a checker board out of a piece of carboard he cut from a box. He used the caps of water bottles and painted them red and black to make checkers. When I asked him about this, he invited me to sit down for a "beating". It was over the next 5 months that I learned patience. We used to play checkers all the time when not on missions and I believe he beat me every day for that 5 months until I was good enough to be a challenge to him. He was also very good at dominoes and he soon invited me to get beat at that game as well.
As his platoon leader, I was always able to count on him no matter what. He had good Sergeants who taught him, and I would have been honored to have served with him again. Sgt. Chisholm was a tough and brave soldier, yet he enjoyed seeing the smiles on the Iraqi children's faces when he was around and he was very gentle with the innocent.
Sgt. Chisholm's presence was always known when he entered a room. And I want all to know that while we were all away from our families during a time of war, Sgt. Chisholm made life away from home a little easier, and made all the difference...just by being Chiz.
My thougts are with all who knew him. And I wish to pay my respects at the service for Sgt. Chisholm.
With warm regards, I remain
yours truly,

To The Entire Family:
My prayers are with you during your time of sorrow. Keep the faith in knowing that your loved one is now in a better place. Sgt. Tyrone Chisholm fought a good fight, he kept the faith, and and he has finished the course. He laid down his life for his country and we are forever grateful for such a remarkable young man. Tyrone is now a soldier in the army of our Lord. May the Lord comfort each and everyone of you during this very difficult time. Always remember that God is too wise to make a mistake and that He will never put more on you that you can bear. It may seem hard at times, but I pray that you all will find comfort in knowing that you are in the thoughts and prayers of friends and loved ones who share in your sorrow.

To the family of Tyrone Chisholm, It is very hard for me to write this to you I am a close friend of chis I say am because he is not gone from our hearts. we where stationed together in Ft.

The kind of guy Tyrone was: "The main difference between happy people and unhappy people is that happy people mostly evaluate their own behavior and constantly attempt to improve what they do."
Thanks for being a happy person.

Chis,
Thank you so much for being a great friend/brother. When I watched the news and heard your name my heart fell. I couldn't believe that someone so special had been taken from us so early in life. Although we did not know each other too long I still and always will remember you as my big brother I never had. I'll always remember all the big brother advice you gave me.
I hope you can forgive me
for not writing to you like I had promised. I'm glad that I was blessed to meet you, and spend the little bit of time together.
Now as a tribute to you I will wear your picture on a gold dog tag like you did for your fallen friend. You'll always be missed, but not forgotten "Big L!"
Always,
Cassandra, Reuben,and Isaiah.

Tyrone:
You are truely a life well lived. You are one the kindest most caring persons that I was blessed in this life time to have known. When I heard the news my heart dropped and I shedded some tears because you were as cool as cool can get. But soon, I smiled knowing that GOD has taken one of his best angels home. Although you could have offered this world so much more, GOD had another plan for you. I will never forget you friendly smile and your words of wisdom. I pray that GOD will protect, guide and keep tyrone's family as you go through this trying time. To his Mother may god bless you and keep you safe and strong to do what you have to for your child. To his Brothers and Sisters, I know the pain of loosing a brother it is no easy pain to grasp. But please know that the saying is true: {Time Will Heal all Wounds.} You will never forget but oneday faraway you will get better, you will be okay. May the beautiful memories of Tyrone keep you smiling and laughing. Tyrone died doing a couragious thing and for that he will always be a HERO in my eyes. My friend you will never be forgotten-ever. Your greatest memories has been left behind, your two daughters and for that alone your family shall find sweet peace. I will be praying for the family as you go through this trying time and my heart will be with all of you near and far.
May God Bless You All, Keep You, Guide You and Protect You,
Much Love-{Your Home Girl!}

I send to the family my deepest sympathy. I just saw Ty on his 2 weeks visiting his family. I was so happy to see an old high school
friend still with that big smile on his face. He will always be in my heart and prayers.
Farewell, Friend
Farewell, my friend;I
Now am with my Saviour-
The hope of earthly days
Fulfilled at last.
I'm here to stay through
Ages that are endless;
The span of life on earth
So quickly passed.
This home is free, the
Price paid by my Saviour.
Such calm exists; earth
Oft was tempest-tossed.
Redeemed ones sing glad
Praises to His glory.
No sorrow here, for
No one here is lost.
So if today a tear will
Blur your vision,
Look far beyond, and
Faith will let you see
This hallowed place
Prepared for those who love Him,
Forever ours through
All eternity.

To Tyrone L. Chisholm, "Uncle Papa". Thanks for being such a remarkable person and such a good friend/brother(or as my Papa would say, "Lil' Bro") to my Papa, SSG Larry Smith. I will miss you very much, but I know you are in heaven with the angels and in a better place. I LOVE YOU UNCLE PAPA!!! and THANK YOU!!!!

To the Family of the late Tyrone L. Chisholm, lovingly known to us as "Chiz". We would like for you to know that your loss is shared by us, too. Tyrone lived with us while we were stationed at Fort Carson, Co. in the months and days prior to his re-deployment. Prior to and during his first deployment to Iraq he served on my husband's tank and it was at that time that my husband took this fine soldier and mentored him. When Chiz made Seargent, we held a cook-out at our residence in celebration of his accomplishment. In fact, he spent countless hours at our home preparing for the board. Before his re-deployment, when he came to live with us, we threw a birthday party for him. Ms. Wilson, I tried my best to make him feel at home, I hope I accomplished this task. He had the worst affinity for ribs, we had ribs almost everyday when he came to live with us, that if we had to eat ribs again, we'd probably pass on the offer. There is so much more we would love to share with you, as far as memories with Chiz are concerned, but there's not enough space for it here. Please call us if you should need us for anything. Our phone number is (502)942-8333, or you could call my husband, SSG Larry Smith, at (502)418-2390. We would sure love to talk to you. In fact you may come across some pictures of him and us when you go through his belongings.
Once again, please accept our sincerest condolences.

This is for Ty's family,
He Only Takes The Best
A heart of gold stopped beating
Two shining eyes at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the BEST!
Little did we know that morning, the sorrow the day would bring.
The end was sudden, the shock severe.
We never knew that death was so near.
When days are sad and lonely,
And evening shadows fall.
We hear your voice and see your face.
Your sweet memory lingers on.
God knew you had to leave us.
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you.
The day god called you home.
God Bless,
Jasmin Lowe

Thank you for always treating me like a little brother and being a positive role model to many young men in West Savannah. I love you and I will never forget about the impact you have had in my life. This is from the community and all your brothers from FELLWOOD HOMES.

My name is Shronnie Mims. I am also from Savannah, GA. Ty was a cousin and a good friend to me we grew up together and shared a lot of memories. We went to highschool and went off to Basic Trainning, Ait, and we got stationed to Fort Carson, Colorado together. We were the only family we had in colorado with exception to my wife and kids. I will dearly miss Ty as he was a good cousin and friend. Myself and my family sympathy go out to all who will miss SGT. Tyrone Chisholm.

To the Chisolm family, my prayers are with you in your time of bereavement. This is still shocking to me, Tyrone was a special friend of mine who will always have a special place in my heart. I can still remember his smile, which was the most sweetest and angelic. To the family and loved ones, remember Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

To the Chisholm and Wilson family , my heart really go out to you but most of all my prayers go up for you. The prayer of peace for the unanswered questions that may run through you mind. The prayer of comfort that you may realize that God puts no more on us than we can bare and inside of you - you have the comforter that will keep all of us. This comforter is the Holyghost and he can keep you when you don't want to keep your self. And the prayer of love knowing that God is love and knowing that God will never hurt you nor will he bring you to any part of your life that he won't guide you through , you just have to trust him, seek him,and hold onto him ,knowing that he is burden bearer and a God that never slumber nor sleep he is always willing to listen and answer all your questions and prayers.
Fred , my friend it's been a while you be strong . The tears that fall they fall for two reasons yes I am sad that i lost a friend and you lost your brother but I cry tears of joy knowing that Ty is in a better place. I am so proud of you and him . You stay strong for your mom and the rest of the family . Put all your trust in the Lord , my brother i will be praying for you and with you. If you need me anytime call me that is what true friends are for...
For Ty - family and friends when your heart get heavy and your eyes can no longer hold the tears back grab the bible and read every scripture on rejoiceing and healing.
Much Love to Everyone

Ty, It still doesn't seem real. I just saw you about three weeks ago with that smile. I've known you since elementary school (Strong/Pt. Wentworth) and you've always been kinda quite and always had that smile.All I can think about is the times all of us shared in high school (LuLu, Shaaista, CoCo, Baron, Tootie, Billy)if it was going out,hanging after school, or on the bus ride after a game (a lost most of the time) I have some great memories that I will always cherish and laugh about.You will truly be miss Peanut Butter #32.

To the Chisholm Family:
I send my deepest condolences. Words cannot express how I felt upon seeing Tyrone’s picture in the paper. It brought back so many memories of my cousin, the late Army Sgt. Bennie Washington. Bennie was injured in Iraq and died as a result of those injuries this year. Not a day goes by that I do not think of him.
I want to let you know that you are not alone. The city of Savannah needs to know that they have lost another native son to this war. Tyrone’s selfless act of heroism should NEVER be forgotten. Stay strong.
