Thank you for answering the phone, for showing up, for believing in me, for making me laugh, and for letting me be myself without ever feeling judged. My heart is broken because your place in my life was real, your friendship was a gift. I don't know how to make peace with the fact that someone who was such a constant in my work life is now someone I have to miss. I only know that I am better for having known you, and I will forever be grateful our paths crossed. There will always be stories that make me laugh because of you, memories that make me cry because I miss you, and little reminders of you tucked into the most unexpected corners of my days. And somewhere, I hope you know that your girl is still out here being her usual ridiculous self, probably saving a sauce packet she doesn't need, washing out a Ziploc bag that should have been thrown away three uses ago and losing her car in ever hospital parking garage. I just wish I could call you and tell you about it. Forever my work bestie. Forever my safe space. Forever missed. I love you, Tyson. And I will never stop being thankful that I got to call you my friend. ~ Heather Godfrey ~

Amigo, no tengo palabras para aliviar un dolor tan grande. No tuve la oportunidad de conocer a tu esposo, pero por todo lo que he escuchado de él, sé que fue un ser humano extraordinario y muy querido. Siento muchísimo que hayas tenido que despedirte de él tan pronto. Mis oraciones están dirigidas a ti, sus padres y amigos.

You and your loved ones will be in my thoughts

Tyson, my heart broke yesterday hearing that you left us. You are truly missed and loved. You were sunshine and always left someone and some place so much better than you found it. You always made each one of us like we were your favorite person and office to visit. There will never be another you. I was going to send your Happy Birthday text to you on Wednesday but seems like you got your celebration started early with Jesus. Keeping Winston and your precious furbaby in my prayers, that God will continue to give them peace and comfort during this time. Rest in peace my friend and we will see each other again one day. Love ya and miss you much!! Meggan L.

Winston and Dunfee family, I had the great pleasure of knowing Tyson because he would call on our office for work. We all looked so forward to seeing him whether he was bringing lunch, popping in to say hello, or brining us a cold treat. Tyson lit up a room the minute he entered. He was always in a great mood and ready to share a laugh and a huge smile. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Thinking of you all during this difficult time. We will miss you Tyson. Your friends at MHUP Lung & Sleep Care

Tyson, there are not words for the hole your loss is leaving in our hearts. You always lifted me up when I was down, was always a phone call away if I needed support or a laugh. Thank you for the light you shared in what can sometimes be a dark place. Love you forever.

Tyson was the BEST!! I am beyond shocked and devastated to learn of his passing. He was a great friend back in the day and helped me through hard times. What a smile and laugh he had.

- Carrie Pratt, Roanoke, VA

Tyson was one of the sweetest most thoughtful human beings I've ever met. He was my favorite drug representative hands down. I use to look forward to seeing him so that he could imitate Winston. The way he loved his husband, was clear with how he lit up when he spoke about him. Tyson you will truly be missed!!! Thank you for being a light in our office, and for really seeing each of us individually. Thank you for being you.

I only met you once at Gills and Morgan's wedding and you were so full of life. My thoughts and prayers go out to your love ones

- Michael RDBRD, Fayetteville, NC

Tyson, my Shug, I'm so heartbroken to learn of your passing. There aren't enough words to describe the void you'll leave in so many lives. Your sincerity, tenderness and love for people was something that will always stay with me. You were everyone's biggest cheerleader, genuine in your celebrations of others life achievements. I will miss you my friend. Thank you for showing endless care for me and my family, thank you for being the gentle and kind soul who touched so many lives. I will always carry a piece of you with me. And I hope I see signs that you're still with us someway. As you always told me ‘ya can't get rid of me that easy Shug!' To Winston, hearing Tyson speak of your love is to know what it's like to be truly and wholly loved. My heart and prayers are with you.

For almost three years, I have laughed with you, cried with you, cheered with you and known that you were the best friend a girl could have! Our friendship was inner-twined with work and our passion for patients! Our trips together will forever be etched in my memory! You were the bright spot in my life and many others who adored you! Today is your birthday and I just want to talk to you, celebrate you and our friendship and tell you I love you one more time! Rest in peace my precious friend!

Winston, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Tyson was a treasured childhood friend. I knew him from the day I was born and we grew up next door to one another. He was so sweet and hilarious. I cannot believe he is gone. May your memories comfort you as you grieve. Amy

- Amy Collins Wolfe, Athens , Ohio

Tyson, you were the greatest, funniest and most loyal friend to me when times were tough during our teenage years and that kindness never left my heart when I remembered and reflected throughout the years. I am devastated to learn your light has left us far too soon. Your love and memory will live still through every one of us who was lucky enough to have known and loved you. Rest forever in peace my friend xxx

I was Tyson's neighbor in Barnesville. He and my daughter, Amy, played together as children and shared many times as they grew older. Winston, your description of Ty is what I remember about him. I am devastated this kind soul is gone. Please accept my condolences.

I met Tyson when I worked as a medical assistant in pediatrics for GCP. He walked in one sunny afternoon with lunch for our office and we clicked right away. Needless to say it didn't surprise us that we are both Libras. His birthday being the 14th and mine the 18th. Such a sweet soul and always made me laugh and smile. He will be so missed. Love and prayers to his family, friends, and of course his husband. Ashley

I have so many wonderful memories of growing up with Tyson. I treated him like my baby doll when he was little and when he got older he always said he had three moms because we were all so protective of him. He was such a funny, giving, and loving brother. Tyson's quick wit was truly the best. We got in trouble so much because we would play off each other—we honestly thought we were hilarious, maybe even the funniest people ever. I always admired him for his work ethic, his determination to be the best, and his incredible ability to light up any room he walked into. Although I wasn't able to share his life with him over the last several years, I never stopped loving him, missing him, and praying for a reunion. For a long time now, I have had a hole in my heart, and now that hole is just so much bigger. I love you, little brother. To Winston: I am holding you close in my thoughts and sending you strength during this incredibly difficult time. Thank you for the life and love you shared with Tyson. I look forward to the day we can share stories about our mutual love for him.

So many memories and wonderful times. Tyson I will always love you until we meet again. RIP my friend.

I met Tyson in 1996 when he was a transfer student from a local school. He was a senior and I was a junior. We quickly hit it off and started dating. We fell in love and eventually got engaged. We started planning our wedding while attending college, but life eventually took us down different paths. Although our lives went in different directions, he was a very special part of my younger years, and those memories will always be part of my story. Rest peacefully old friend! To Winston, my deepest and most sincere condolences to you. Wishing you comfort and peace during this difficult time.
