Very Special guy. I worked as security for a fabric store and Ty would park in front of the store. He’d come in and say “security don’t give me a ticket, I’ll be out in 5 minutes. Sometimes it would be 20 minutes. When he would check out and pass me, he’d laugh and say “I know I know” and we would laugh and he’d hug me and say “see you next time “
Ty you will be missed tremendously. Save a spot for me big guy!!!

I have known Tyrone since 1982 went to school with him in jr. high school. Tyrone used to breed my hair in the classroom every day he did something different to my hair I had very long hair I always said if I ever married again he would be the one to make my dress the Lord knows I will miss him until we meet again you will be God‘s loving angel.

It was a pleasure to meet Tyrone when he participated in our Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Jabberwock. I was a young designer at Hurley Medical Center and Tyrone was enthusiastic when I taught the "Consider Design" workshop. I later introduced him to my Soror Eunice Johnson at the Fashion Show at Whiting Auditorium. I was so proud to hear of all his success. Sincere sympathies to the Kirkland family. Yours in design, in saving the planet, Debra Gill (Visually Inclined Design Authority/Bouvardia)

R.I.P. Tyrone. I remember the day you left our employment at Bortz Health Care (many years ago) to start your Fashion Design Business. You came back within the next year and brought me a shirt you designed. I still have it today and cherish it! I always loved your upbeat attitude and how you lit up the room. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. R.I.P. my dear friend. My condolences to the family❤

Sir Tyrone created dozens of my circus spectacular long coats that became my signature persona at The Palace of Auburn Hills, Van Andel Arena, CoAmerica Park, Tommy Hanneford Royal Hanneford Circus, Circus Royale, Japan Clown School, Clowns of America International, World Clown Association and numerous clown-competitions!
I will miss his creative genius in helping me become the first African American male to be inducted into the Midwest Clown Hall of Fame through his professional designs.
God is with you now my friend.

Tyrone, you always had a smile and an encouraging word for me and my mom. As much as I would like to have came back to see you one last time, I also wanted to remember how you were doing the last time we spoke. Hopefully when you see my mom you can give her a hug & kiss from me and put on a runway show in Heaven.
Love you my Brother until we meet again..
