Jason Tyson, 51, passed away on July 4th, 2026. He was born on November 21st, 1974, and was born with sickle cell anemia. Though his illness often limited his physical abilities and kept him in hospitals for much of his life, it never diminished his spirit.

Jason lived hard, laughed hard, and loved hard. He had a deep appreciation for construction and trucking, always enjoying opportunities to help load and unload trucks whenever he was able. He took pride in working with his hands and never let his circumstances define who he was.

Above all, his cherished his family, his friends, and his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers. His greatest joy was his daughter and grandchildren, whom he loved beyond measure. Their love for him was just as deep, and their greatest wish was simply to have him healthy and by their side.

Pain was a constant companion throughout much of his life, as he spent nearly 60 to 70 percent of it in hospitals. Yet he endured with remarkable strength, managing each day the best way he knew how. Those who knew him also knew he spoke his mind. In fact, if you never argued with him, you probably didn’t know him very well. His honesty, passion, and unmistakable personality made him unforgettable.

Though his journey was far from easy, he leaves behind a legacy of perseverance, laughter, loyalty, and unconditional love. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Jason is survived by his mother, Mary Greer, two children, Jaeleigh Tyson and Chavon Tyson, six beautiful grandchildren: Camauri Moran, Sheron Moran, Jr., Shamaur Moran, Chavon Tyson, Jr., Mecca Tyson and Mazziair Tyson; as well as his siblings from the maternal side, Rahim X Tyson and Monique Tyson, his siblings from the paternal side: Jayace Williams, Arnold Williams, Jr., Melinda Epperson, Arnell Williams and Curtis Foskey; along with a sister-in-law, Frederica X Tyson, a host of aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, and cousins. A special shout out also went out to Jason’s Uncle Willie, as he affectionately called him, “Mella Yella!”

He is preceded in death by his father, Arnold Williams, Sr.

A Visitation will be held on Thursday, July 16th from 11 A.M. until time of a service at 1 P.M. in the John Syka Funeral Home, Inc, 833 Kennedy Drive, Ambridge, who was in charge of his arrangements.
