He was born on September 5, 1961, in Alexandria to the late Mitchell Allred Sr. and Pauline Norwood Allred. Tyrone lived life to the fullest. He was a man full of laughter, love, and adventure, known for his ability to brighten any room with his humor and big personality. He loved to hunt and fish-especially saltwater fishing-and his happiest days were spent at his most favorite place in the world Grand Isle with his beloved wife, Linda, whom he proudly and lovingly still referred to as "his bride." He enjoyed speedboat racing, spending time with his "brother-in-law" and best friend, Jimmy Parker, and he loved making people laugh. Though he loved to dance, he was a terrible dancer but his zest for life was unmatched, and he cherished time with his family more than anything else. Tyrone had a passion for racehorses and proudly owned Ship Stalker, All Star Superstar, and America's Choice. He was a proud "Paw Paw Man" to his grandchildren, who were the joy of his life. His love for family was deep, steady, and ever-present.
Professionally, Tyrone was highly respected. He served as General Manager of Sales at All Star Toyota and Leglue Nissan. He earned the distinction of being the youngest recipient of the Toyota President's Award in the history of the corporation. He also served as President of the Boys and Girls Club of Alexandria, where he poured his heart into supporting the youth of his community.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Mitchell Lee Allred Jr.; his sister, Teresa Kreps; and one grandchild, Marley Franklin.
