Tributes
Leave a tributeLots of love to Maria and family , forever in perfect peace.
Once upon a time as friends you described identifying your future Wife as “the ability to not just differentiate between the beautiful trees in a wood but being able to perceive her roots, the exact seed from which she springs forth and the soil in which she is planted in”. Ty, you were my first YES- my yes I would’ve said over and over irrespective of how the future was going to turn out.
Your life and legacy will continue to be held up with the greatest honour. Eternally cherished, you will never be forgotten. ‘We’ will always be acknowledged and ‘We’ will always be celebrated. Yup 4 years on and my declaration having been tested through the greatest of fires still rings true: Our God is still Faithful!
Until we meet again!

We gotta make the most of life. It really is a vapour.
Bless the Lord.
Only God in heaven knows just how much I miss you bro! It broke my heart the dayGod called you home.
I’ll never forget all the random conversations we had, we could sit and talk for hours on end about nothing but it meant everything to us.
I’ve been so lost without you T, they better be looking after you in heaven or they’ll face my wrath!
Love you always my brother, rest well till we see each other again

"I know you're looking down from Heaven, beaming with pride when you see me. I know you're constantly tugging on Jesus's arm like "look, look at your beautiful daughter, isn't she amazing!
I wouldn't be the woman I am today without having met you. I wouldn't be the woman I am today if I didn't marry you. I wouldn't know what I truly deserve as a Queen if I didn't marry A King like you. I truly know my worth because you taught me. Through you, I understood Gods love for me. It took your graduation into Heaven to truly understand Gods heart as a Father towards me. I am so honoured that out of all the virtuous queens in the world, you chose me to literally spend the rest of your life with.
Tyrone, I will forever keep pushing forward and complete my race. How can I give up when you never gave up?! I will forever open my heart to love inspite of the possibility of being hurt. I will be patient and forgive quickly. I will continue to see hopes glint in the darkest of night skies. I will forever trust our Fathers ultimate plan for my life- one that including your heart being knitted with mine. Oh how I look forward to seeing your mesmerising smile, hearing that thunderous laugh of yours and seeing your eyes light up once again.
As I run towards you on pavements of gold, the first words I will utter are "Thank you". Thank you for praying for me during every part of our journey as Maria Olupeka and Tyrone Mitchell and as The Mitchell's. Thank you for praying for me now. Thank you for never judging me as I shared my darkest failings with you. Thank you for being my safe place when I was broken. Never in my mind did I ever expect to be writing this; it feels like you left a life time ago yet at the same time feels like it happened just the other day.... it's such a surreal feeling and vivid reality in a world that just goes on.
Your death, the countless tears I've cried and the brokenness I've experienced will never ever change my belief and trust in our Father. It has been the hardest two years of my life. Every part of my being has been tested yet I still press forward. I will continue to do so with the utmost grace, compassion, resilience and with a heart that boldly dares to love another again.
With every single thing I’ve been through, I am well equipped to run through a troop and leap over any wall! You actually married a warrior! Thank you for being part of my destiny and my legacy.
As you already know, your life and your death were not in vain. You left a powerful legacy; one your family, friends, love ones and even strangers feel, see and hear every single day.
I am doing really well and actually excited about my future. YES!!! Just as I boldly declared at the hospital on the 30th September 2015, in front of our friends, family and Pastors- our God is still and will always remain Faithful!!! This is now my ‘Life’s Declaration’!
Your light will always shine through the hearts of mine and others. We will always love you Tyrone Anthony Ian Mitchell.... until we meet again"
This was a truly wonderful guy and I would testify to this even if he was still with us.
Enjoy the presence of God bro, you deserve it, by His grace I will see you soon!
I remember you leading prayer with the men upstairs, and just always being a listening ear, with wisdom keys, in your conversations. You were indeed a Man of God, a brother that kept it real, your promotion to heaven still shocks me but I rest knowing that your in a better place. "Tyrone on the Throne",My brother rest in peace.
I will never forget the conversations we've had and the brotherly advice you always had for me. I will never forget the silly banter and that mischievous laugh and big smile! I will never forget the big hugs that you gave out!
Most of all, I will never forget the love and the passion you had for Christ and how that love was displayed unconditionally to Maria. I know how important it was to you that she was taken care of, and I promise to continue to do so!
Love you bro! See you in heaven! xx
Through Maria and other lives you have touched, you will live on and never be forgotten. Your presence physically was hard to miss! So we are sure that your presence spiritually will not go unoticed.
One piece of advice you gave to Stephen that we will never forget is: if you are stuck in life, go back and do the last thing God told you to do.
Live on Tyrone!
Tyrone, you made an impression even on the young ones. Thank you for being you! We miss you, but know that one day we will all get to meet again! Rest in peace!
Uncle Simon xxxx
A treasured friend went home last week. I still haven't processed this yet... I can't imagine what his nearest and dearest are going through. I feel like I will never, ever find the words necessary to express the loss. Yet, somewhere, someone has gained an angel.
I'm sending love and prayers to his family, the beautiful Maria, his brother and best friend Joshua, his wonderful mother.
Rest in Peace Tyrone.
Love Janine
God bless you bro and enjoy the party as I know you will.
Love you forever bro. Keep smiling. You're in pain no more.
This poem made me smile when I thought of what you meant to us all, in different ways. I hope you like it.
Remember Me
Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow,
But remember me in every tomorrow.
Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles,
I’ve only gone to rest a little while.
Although my leaving causes pain and grief,
my going has eased my hurt,
and given me relief.
So dry your eyes and remember me,
not as I am now,
but as I used to be.
Because, I will remember you all,
and look on with a smile.
Understand in your hearts,
I’ve only gone to rest a little while.
As long as I have the love of each of you,
I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.
Rest In Peace bro.

Tyrone in 3,2,1...ACTION!
Tyrone Loved Kung-Fu films & when the oppotunity came to put his kicks in action...he was excited! We worked hard but played hard too haha.
My Brother's Keeper
2012 was the year I started writing my 1st professional short film called "My Brother's Keeper". I was determined to push myself and create somethinng fresh and out of the box. Tyrone was one of the 1st people I shared the idea with and remember his big grin when I mentioned there would be a fight scene. If you knew Tyrone you would know that he LOVED action films; especially martial arts films. This grin later turned to pure Joy when months down the line I asked if he could not only Choreograph the fight scenes but also play a supporting role in the film as the antagonist. Check out the film at www.mbkfilm.com
From start to finish he was 100% dedicated to the project and WE HAD A GREAT TIME MAKING "OUR" MOVIE. It was a blast! So many laughs on a film that took almost a year to make. The film wouldn't have been the same without his presense, professionalism and sheer AWESOMENESS. I'm so glad he got to live his dream of doing martial arts on film. In the end we drew closer and became like brothers!
Tyrone was my keeper and I was his. We were brothers. And still are.
Always love you Mr.T
