Tyrone Lamar McAfee was born on April 29, 1986 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Tyrone Lamar Watson and Antoinette McAfee. He departed this life Saturday, October 20, 2012. Tyrone found Christ at an early age and accepted him as his Lord and Savior.

Known as a soldier of love and a soldier of life, we know that he's now serving in God's army today, watching over his family who was dear to his heart.

To know Tyrone was to know his beautiful smile, humble soul and laid back demeanor.

He had many admirable characteristics. Tyrone was smart. He earned his H.S.E.D. and had plans of becoming a business owner. Tyrone was loyal and family was important to him. He enjoyed spending time with everyone including hanging with friends, attending family functions and caring for his children. He adored children. Tyrone built strong relationships with all of those who formed his close circle of love, and he'll remain in our hearts forever.

We're thankful for the memories that we have of Tyrone. We'll continue to reminisce about how as a child, he would submit to requests for a dance just to get something sweet to eat. We'll always recall his love for breakfast. We'll always remember his charismatic appeal that made people gravitate towards him. He was a family man and a God-fearing man and we'll keep these memories under lock and key for eternity.

God welcomed Tyrone to his Heavenly Kingdom on the morning of October 20, 2012.
