Tyson was a stand-out athlete, whether it was on the football field, baseball diamond, or the wrestling mat. He was the winning pitcher in two Mifflin County All-Star Junior Babe Ruth State Championship games, he placed 7th and 3rd at The PIAA AAA Wrestling State Championships, and was the first Mifflin County Husky to achieve 100 wins. His success followed him to college where he was a four-year starter and a national qualifier. Tyson loved to watch his Philadelphia Eagles on Sundays. What he enjoyed the most was his family and spending quality time with them, especially his children, who were the love of his life. Tyson will be remembered for his unique sense of humor. He was a wonderful father, son, grandson, and friend that will be dearly missed by all.
