Tyrell Lee Symon, the son of Brenda and Joseph Brock and Greg Symon, was born on April 23, 1992, in Richmond, Calif. Tyrell was a graduate of Berkley High School, Class of 2011. Tyrell moved with his family to Bogalusa in 2000, and became a faithful member of Metropolitan Baptist Church, going faithfully to Sunday School and church every Sunday with his grandmother (Fannie Magee).

Tyrell was a very happy and outgoing person, and loved his family very much. He was always smiling and laughing, even on his bad days. Tyrell never met a stranger in his 27 years of life, he lived a full and energetic life, and created lots of unforgettable memories with everyone he knew.
