Dr. Tyson was such a smart, brillant Godly man. Such a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. He was a tremendous speaker, teacher, and pastor. His children honor him in all they do. He honored his parents and most importantly the Lord! He was tremendously Blessed with his wife Christy. Whom he loved! He loved to talk about her most wonderful and contagious laugh.
It’s a true Blessing to have known him. To know that I’ll see him in Heaven is a gift! What an honor to know him.
Well done good and faithful servant of the Lord❤❤

Dear Wonderful Tyson Family,
Christy and Kids! I am so sorry to hear about the lost of Troy. Years ago, I taught Joy in 4th gr. and taught with Christy and Troy at Walden Hall. You were all so loving to me and my son Dustin. Troy would counsel me while I struggled with an abusive marriage. I think often of something he told me about being a loving spouse. I carry that thought with me now into a new and wonderful marriage.You both supported me so much back then during such trying painful times.You are in my prayers and please know what a tremendous example you all were, not just your dad, on being a caring Christian family. I always admired you all so much.
God bless you all during such a difficult time.Thank you for being part of a season in my life.
