Tyson means 'fiery', a name which suited him well since he began his life as a NICU preemie at 31 weeks gestation. He was born to Quinten and Evie Graber and was the youngest of 5 boys. He brought joy to all he encountered and will be remembered for his love of his brothers, airplanes, the moon, animals, babies and for giving great hugs. He was looking forward to the arrival of his new sibling. He didn't talk yet, but would say a few words when coaxed by his big brother Kirby. His favorite songs were, Jesus Paid it All, Jesus Loves Me, The Wiseman Built His House Upon the Rock, and Only a Boy Named David.
He is deeply loved and missed by his parents Quinten and Evie Graber and his four brothers: Kirby Dean, 13, Stacy Brian, 11, Teryn Ray, 7, and Rusty Cole, 5, all of Brooksville, MS. He is also survived by his grandparents: Paul and Julia Graber of Brooksville, MS, Ben Hilty of South Boston, VA, and Cindy Hilty of Wheatland, WY, great grandparents Silva Graber of Macon, MS, Margaret Heatwole of Bridgewater, VA, Cretora Hilty of Harrisonburg, VA and Levi and Elmina Lee of Macon, MS. He is also survived by uncles, aunts, and cousins who doted on him and will miss him dearly. He was preceded in death by his great grandfather Ben Graber, great grandfather Oren Heatwole, great grandfather Robert Hilty and his uncle, Brian Graber.
