Tyler "T.C." Lee Chrisco, a cherished son, brother, grandson, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend, passed away on Sunday, May 18, 2025, at the age of 36. Born on July 3, 1988, T.C. was known for his quiet and stoic demeanor, yet he carried with him a warmth that touched the lives of many around him. His family lovingly referred to him by the nickname "Fotchie," a testament to the affection they held for him.
T.C. embraced life with enthusiasm, celebrating his passion for sports from a young age. He was active in several sports, ranging from tee ball to baseball and softball, and even played soccer in high school. He was a giant fan of the Carolina Tarheels and loved to follow all of their sports teams. He was also a fan of the Boston Red Sox and the Washington Redskins. Beyond sports, T.C. was an avid hunter and fisherman, and enjoyed spending time with his friends outdoors. He served as a volunteer fireman in Gibsonville. His commitment to helping others was a source of pride for both himself and his loved ones. T.C. suffered a debilitating car accident years ago, and although he was no longer able to be as active as he once was, he kept a positive attitude and continued to live his life to the fullest of his abilities.
T.C. is survived by his mother, Michelle Watkins, and father, Buddy Chrisco. He is also survived by his grandmothers, Diane Justice Watkins and Katherine Faison Chrisco; and his siblings, Katie Clarida (Daniel), Tessla Chrisco, Chase Coble (Forrest), Tanner Chrisco, and Nick Coble (Trisha); nieces and nephews, Khloe, Aydriona, Patience, Hadley, Aliyah, Tanner Lee Jr., Oaklynn, and one on the way; aunt, Jamie Chrisco; and uncle, Bryan Watkins.
T.C. was preceded in death by his Paw Paw, Buddy Chrisco; his Pa, Oddie Watkins; and his great-grandparents, Winford and Ida Watkins, Virginia Moss Justice, Bob Justice, Ruth and Elbert Chrisco, and Helene Koenig and Ralph Daniels.
Arrangements are incomplete at this time. A celebration of Tyler’s life will be held at a later date.
