Tyson attended QEH High School where he won several MVP awards and Championships and had the opportunity to play basketball with Scottie Pippen and Dee Brown. Along with being an avid basketball player (he was the 'Michael Jordan' to the community he lived in, he was our legend), Tyson adored his vehicles and loved spending his alone time parked in his car listening to his music. Tyson was employed with Aabel Fuels for 21 years and he loved the Aabel family as if they were his own. He was a very proud employee to his second family, and they admired him. He was always the people's choice when it came to delivering oil. To know Tyson was to love him. He was a very humble guy and a friend to all who he encountered.
