Carrying the Torch Forward

Destiny is the oldest of Tyrell's children and carries his drive in everything she does. A standout athlete in both basketball and softball, she is preparing to take her talents and intellect to an HBCU.

She radiates the warmth and compassion that defined her father's life.

"Pursuing Texas Southern University and a career in the medical field — dedicated to serving her community just as her father did."

Brooklyn is a 4th grader who expresses herself through every art form she can find — dance, visual art, and skating. She is creative, joyful, and full of wonder. In her, you can see the artistic soul that Tyrell wanted every child to have the space to develop.

"Finding her voice through movement and art — a little creator whose imagination knows no limits."

Cairo is the youngest of Tyrell's children — a kindergartner full of wonder, energy, and endless curiosity. He loves trucks, art, sports, and movies with equal passion. He is at the very beginning of the journey his father spent his life helping other children navigate with confidence and joy.

"A kindergartner whose curiosity is boundless — every truck, every crayon, every game is a new adventure waiting to be had."
