Tyson was born in Havre, MT on August 24, 1981 to two proud parents, George "Buster" and Ila Mae (Alexander) Denny. He was their first child born out of their two children they had together. Tyson was an intelligent person. As a one-year old baby he could already read and count. His first book he read as a young child was called "Little Chief." When asked what his name was, in his little baby voice he would proudly say "Tyson Little Chief hahaha." He was a genius. He was a reserved person until he got older. He loved to play all and any game consoles. From the first Nintendo to the most recent Play Station. He loved to play story games and was an avid player to the most brain skilled games. He stayed on the game until he figured the game out and would take pride in his accomplishments. He would later become a role model for his nieces and nephews.

Tyson loved reading, drawing, writing, and singing. He loved nothing more than to spend time with his nephews and nieces, whom he adored more than anything than life itself. He enjoyed taking them on adventures throughout the city. He would pick and choose who would go with him to Blazer games, treasure hunts, garage/ rummage sales, pawn shops, and secondhand stores.

He was a spiritual person with a loving and caring heart, not just for his family, but also friends whom he had encountered everywhere.

Every day of the week was another adventure waiting to begin. His soul was that of an angel with a broken halo. He would have stories to tell us each time he would come by or even on the phone. Some of his adventures sounded like a magical, humorous, dramatic, sex, drugs and rock and roll movie. Oh, did he love the ladies!! He always had a lady with him. He was compassionate with each individual that he had meet.

He was making his memoir/ autobiography published. He had amazing stories and memories throughout his years. Some emotional, goofy, creepy, funny, and challenging and this is who he was and more.
