Tyrone Copeland's life was a testament to hard work, dedication, and love. As a jack of all trades, he could often be found tinkering under the hood of a car, casting a line into the water while fishing, or simply enjoying quality time with his beloved family.

However, their lives took a somber turn when Brenda fell ill with cancer. Without hesitation, Tyrone stepped up to the challenge, becoming her primary caregiver and unwavering source of support during her courageous battle.
