He is also survived by his siblings: Randy Tyson, Donna Templeton, Curtis Cummings, Israel Tyson, and Al Phillips, along with many beloved nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; stepfather, Alton Stitcher; stepmother, Dorothy Tyson; and siblings, Charlsie Lewis, Marlin Cummings, and Lewis Edward Tyson Jr.
