Exodus Tyson Obituary

PHOENIX – The 4-year-old daughter of former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson died Tuesday, a day after what police called a "tragic accident" in her home. Phoenix police spokesman Andy Hill said Exodus Tyson was pronounced dead in a hospital just before noon.

Police said the girl was playing on a treadmill Monday in her central Phoenix home when she either slipped or put her head in the loop of a cord hanging under the console.

Exodus' 7-year-old brother found her and told their mother, who was in another room. She took Exodus off the cord, called 911 and tried to revive her.

Responding officers and firefighters performed CPR on Exodus as they took her to the hospital, where she had been listed in critical condition since Monday.

Tyson was in Las Vegas at the time of the accident and flew Monday to Phoenix, where he was seen entering the hospital.

Cynthia Schwartz, a spokeswoman for Tyson, said the family would release a statement Tuesday evening. They had not made any funeral arrangements, she said.

Hill said it was unclear whether an autopsy would be performed.

Deepest sympathy to you, but all is not lost for there will come a time when you will be reunited.?

July 15, 2010

The years may come and go, but the memories of those we love will live on forever in our hearts. We still shed tears and cry out due to the pain in our hearts at times. But may these word bring you comfort at such moments- He is healing the broken hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots. (Psalms147:3)

For Exodus...

There has to be a special place
in heaven for the children.

Exodus...this is for you.

WEEP NOT FOR ME


Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.

I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.

Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.

Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.

Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

Trust in the Lord and he will lift your sorrow.

God gave you and your family the Mind
(You have lost an angel from your lives)
To the Tyson Family

God gave you the mind, he gives you the picture in his prescribed time, and love is the reason why I can recall a conversation with my grandma, long ago in the archives of my mind? Where I asked why do babies laugh and smile at the ceiling? She opened up my ears to knowledge to let me know that they were playing with the angels; he has now become one of the many angels in heaven who look down and watch over other children and her parents.

God gave you the mind, and his prescribed time takes us on an excursion across another page of the archives of time. Your fatherly eyes now shed nine months of tears, because the images of your child have left you helpless and your heart crushed. Ask in Jesus name for the strength to endure this avalanche of hurt, for the Lord leads others to you to become your angelic host to uplift your spirits, for you and you’re the family have now fallen and haven’t the strength to get back up.

God gave you the mind, and he gives answer to the puzzle in his prescribed time, now I never really got know this precious little princess, but I believe she would have warmed my heart. I know the Lord blessed y’all with a sacred gift, and even though your lives have taken an awful turn that has destroyed your peace and joy, and you’re happy feelings have dwindled into the mist. God, our father is there to share your burden.

God gave you the mind, to understand that you can never know when changes cruise into your life, so you must cherish the history of happy DVD styled memories of this child and the rest of the children. So now time educates you in a better way to let go and love.

God gave you the mind, so always remember that our father began letting go and loving, by letting his only begotten son give his life for the worlds sin.

From
Enoch L. Ellison Jr.
And the Holy Spirit

Brandon Meiner

To the whole Tyson Family,
I send my deepest condolences and all my prayers to you. It deeply saddens me and I know how such a tragic event can eat away at you, and it can continue to eat away at you until there is nothing left. The only thing I can say to comfort you is to let you know that your loved ones are always around you. Just close your eyes and I swear you can feel them and you will know in your heart that they don't want to see you hurt. They just want to see you live.
Peace

June 10, 2009

To the Tyson Family,

Please accept my deepest condolences for this, the worst lost, that any parent has to ever go through. Nothing can ever compare to the love between parent and child. Nothing can ever take that away. Not even death. May you find comfort in the memories made and love that you shared. Those memories and that love are forever embedded in your heart.

Right now, it may seem like you may never smile or laugh again, but trust me, you will in time. I've been in your shoes, for I too lost a child. He was 2 1/2 yrs old and he made 3-years since he passed in May 2009. One of the thoughts that helped me in accepting this loss is that I can imagine my son dancing with Jesus. They are SO innocent. I trust their souls go right to heaven.

God bless you. My wish for you all is to find comfort in God's love and acceptance in his will. Fly sweet baby-girl, fly like the butterflies. Fly swiftly through the skies and soar through the winds. You will be present to greet your mommy, daddy and siblings when the time comes. But in the meantime....just fly.
