In 1993, Tyrone married the love of his life, Laura Powers. Their bond was one of deep love, laughter, and unwavering partnership, Together, they were blessed with a daughter, Chloe Powers, who became the light of his life. Tyrone later welcomed the role he cherished most – Papa to his precious granddaughter, Skye Williams.
