    Tyson Lawrence Such, age 3, of Greenville, NC, peacefully gained his wings surrounded by family on Sunday, March 12, 2017. He was born on January 6, 2014 to his parents Travis and Jessica Such.

    While he never spoke a word, Tyson taught us all so much about what is really important in life - unconditional love, patience, compassion and empathy. While we knew that Tyson's life would be brief, we were very blessed to have had 3 wonderful years with him. He will forever be remembered for his gentle soul and contagious smile.
