Tyrone Gilliam

Hey Bud you always called me on my birthday 🎂 I was up thinking of you. Happy we shared memories together. I had a wonder birthday Ty. But check this! A lot of great things are happening I wish I can call and tell you. I have a feeling you have something to do with all of it. Keep making moves for me my brother. I love you. Keep watching me and putting in words to GOD for me cause I kno you talking ya game lol love ya Ty

Me again! Missed you so much yesterday. You were always the first birthday call, early in the morning. Trying to find my holiday spirit, it’s been hard. I wish you were here in the physical. Love you big bro, from 76 til infinity ??

Hey Big Bro! Miss you! Miss talking to you. It really isn’t the same without you here. I’m not the same, I feel like my light is not shining like it used to. Keith misses you and your talks. You were my whole family’s best friend. I don’t even know what to say anymore. I feel lost. Love you.

Hey Buddy it took me awhile to write this, I’m so happy I was able to talk to you one last time. I miss you so much. Remember the conversation we had, I’ve applied everything you told me to my life. Tyrone you’ve been my friend since I was 19 years old. You give me motivation, courage, love, guidance every step of the way. You were my best friend and like a low key dad. You always told me to stay humble, forgive. Bud idk how I’m gonna go another 20 plus years without you. I’ve had so many great things happening right now I wish I could tell you. I wanna call you all the time. I still have your number in my phone waiting, sometime I forget you’re not with me on earth. But in spirit. Buddy I kno you making all the great thing happen for me in the sky. Man I wish I can call you for advice ?. I know you have the best seat in the sky to watch me. So I’ll take you proud bud. I love you forever Tyrone. I love you dearly

I can’t begin to express how much I miss you, this is so surreal, we were supposed to take this journey called life together from babies to seniors, I’m not sue how to do this without you , but I know you want me to keep pushing, the loneliness I feel without you is painful, I know I’m not alone but we were two peas in a pod. Love you big bro, from 76 til Infinity ???

It’s been one month and it still doesn’t feel real. I miss our daily chats. I haven't laughed like I used to with you. Everything is so different. I would do anything to just hear you laugh. ???

Hey Big Bro! Miss you! Why didn't you tell me how crazy your dog is? He is a brat too! Anyway, the pastor told your story at church Sunday. It was beautiful. I love when people tell your story, or share memories of you. You touched so many lives. I've been reading some of our old text. We really did laugh a lot. Love you.from 76 til infinity.

What’s up Keyz, today’s the day I’m going to have to move away Be strong baby sis, try not to cry It’s the circle of life, we live then we die You knew from the start you were my A one Weeded out just like me, that’s why we always had fun Like that time I had soup and fell down the stairs You laughed so hard you even shed tears Remember walking to Farmers to take the bus to work And you’re stupid boss Ozzie, I had to handle that jerk Big brother beast mode protecting you from bad dudes And every female I brought home said “your sister’s mad rude” As the oldest it was my job to protect you and Lee That’s never gonna change, I’m just doing it differently Don’t forget what I taught you, no judgement that’s not your place Everyone has a story, it’s written on their face Learn to love and accept everyone for who they are It will fill you with peace that will take you so far Those people on Netflix must have lost their minds You can’t clone Tyrone, I’m one of a kind I know you miss me Keyz, I miss you too But look at the sky and know that I will never leave you I wrote this for you big bro. ??? love you so much

To your family and your children I pray for healing after your loss. I am so sad to see this I feel like we just spoke on the phone. You were such an amazing man, father, son and friend. We have both been going through so much in life and tried to be there for one another as much as we could. I will always keep you in my thoughts as well as my memories. Love you always dear friend

Hey big bro. Missing you so much. Listening to Pink + White. Remembering all the fun we had. I miss having my person here to laugh at stupid stuff with me. Still struggling to wrap my head around all this. Say wassup to Grandma and Uncle Floyd. Love you til infinity ????

Tyrone, Ty, Tee, Uncle Tee, Cowboy Tee, or his favorite, Dad No matter what you call him he is a son, father, brother, uncle, cousin, friend. Everyone here has know grace, glory, compassion, and pure love because of him. I’ve been blessed to call this man my brother and I’ve had him with me my entire life. We fought hard sometimes, but we love harder. The way he loves me, my husband and our children-unconditionally. Always accepting, supporting, and encouraging. I will not refer to my brother in the past tense, because he is and always will be here with us Because he has poured so much of himself into us. I laugh when I think about how he thought we were taking care of him when he’s been taking care of us all along. My heart is not broken, but it does hurt. But I am so grateful for my brother and the fact that he loves and trusts me so much that he left me a big piece of his heart, my nephew Amaree And he has always trusted me with his whole heart, all of his children. He jokes around and calls himself Cowboy Tee, but he really is Superman. He just traded his cape for wings so he can fly higher. I love you Big Bro ?

Thank you first for your amazing son and for the amazing father you became to my daughter, Samirah. Thank you for being there for her even when you didn't have to. For teaching guiding and loving her. You are truly one of the most amazing people God put in our lives. I'm really going to miss our talks. You always reminded me thru both of our health issues that it can always be worse and that above ALL else... GOD has us. And we will be okay as long as we stay faithful to him we will ALWAYS be ok. I will always remember you for how caring and how faithful you have been to God and for the amazing father you've been thru it all. The one thing that I'll always keep within me is to keep God first and that I'm okay no matter what my health is and no matter what I go thru. I genuinely love you for that. And especially for becoming the most amazing father to my daughter. That's something I truly will never ever forget. And one day when the good Lord calls me home... I'll expect to see you there because even tho we are not blood ....you have become FAMILY. Im really gonna miss you. Thank you also for sending us food on Thanksgiving when me and my youngest daughter lived in the motel. I could come up with more things I'm grateful for but I'd go on for forever. You truly are amazing in life and in death your one person that I'll always think of and be thankful to have had you in my life and my daughter's life. And to your children and your family... please know if there's ANYTHING I can ever do to be there...please ask. AMAREE...You are family and I love you so much for loving my daughter. We aren't the easiest to love but you've been everything my baby has needed and I'll always be here for you. I love y'all so much.

Tyrone taught all of us about how to love life and shining example of goodness is passed on to his beautiful family to continue to carry forth. What was touching about Tyrone is his selfless love and interest for all those he encouraged teared. Such a blessing and an honor for me to be one of his caregivers and moving forward, I will carry a piece of Tyrone’s loving kindness with me so maybe I can share it with others. Praying for Tyrone’s family, that happy memories will provide them with comfort Warmest Regards , Holly

Tyrone you hold a special place in my heart. As you cared for Samirah like she was your own. She looked at you like a father and when she felt she had no one she had you. You taught her many amazing lessons in life that she will carry a piece of you forever. I loved your love for animals and your love for family. You were an amazing cook, father and person and much more. Rest in peace and I know you will watch over the kids knowing you left a piece of greatness from yourself in the world. Thank you for all you have done . You will be missed so much but you will live forever in the lessons and love you taught and shared.

We love you Tyrone! Praying for your daughters, sons, Aunt Regina, Lee, Keia, and the rest of the family. Thank you for the love you gave and the many happy memories.

I just learned of your passing and I feel like I am in shock we just texted each other last week. Our friendship and love that we shared for each other was untouchable. We prayed for each other and always worried about each other. You fought a good fight and I know God was waiting for you. Thank you for the years we had together I will never EVER forget you. Like I told you a few weeks ago “I will love you until our last breath” ?. Rest well my friend and may Heaven be as beautiful as we imagined. I will see you when I get there ?

Rest in Power big brother. I love you so much and I’m going to miss our “weeded out” conversations. You went through so much pain just to stay with us, so we are feeling pain letting you go. But we love you enough to be happy for you being free.
