Tyrone Edward Vales, age 22, passed away far too soon, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Born with a kind heart and a gentle spirit, Tyrone was a loving son, brother, and friend to all who knew him.

Tyrone was known for his warm smile, his respectful nature, and the deep love he carried for his family—especially his siblings, with whom he shared an unbreakable bond.  He was a well-rounded young man, thoughtful and caring, always willing to lend a hand or share a word of encouragement.

Tyrone loved sports, especially basketball and boxing, and he faced life like a fighter—fearless and determined.  He had a rare loyalty that made him a protector to his siblings.  Tyrone stood out among his brothers and sisters, not just for his style and music, but for his words, his loyalty, and his love.

A true lover of music, Tyrone had a passion for rhythm and melody that echoed the beauty of his soul.  Whether creating or simply enjoying music, it was one of the many ways he expressed himself and connected with others.  He also had a sharp sense of style—always dressed in the latest fashion, he carried himself with confidence and pride.

Tyrone's presence brought light to those around him, and his memory will live on in the hearts of everyone he touched.  He leaves behind a grieving but grateful family, forever changed by the love he gave.

Rest in power, Tyrone.  A son, a brother, and cousin.  You are deeply loved, and you will never be forgotten.
