He departed from this world peacefully at Albany Medical Center on August 4, 2025, at the young age of 40. Born in the Bronx, New York, Tyrell was truly a beacon of light in the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him. A proud graduate of Berkshire Senior High School, he left a lasting impression as both a talented basketball player and a devoted student at Buffalo State University.

Tyrell was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Rose E. Carr. He is cherished and remembered by his older brother, Darryl Carr; his dear sister-in-law, Kay Lany; and his younger brother, Mitchel Carr. His devoted wife, Suzanne Gregory, stood lovingly by his side as both a partner and confidant. Together, they embraced his stepchildren, Sean Allen and Taylor Hardy, along with their wives, Elena and McKenzie. Their lives were woven together with love, and Tyrell’s spirit will forever remain in their hearts.
The joy that Tyrell brought to his five precious grandchildren—Aaralyn Allen, Mya Deso, Reilly Szypula, Julian Deso, and Rowan Allen—was beyond measure. They will carry his legacy forward in their everyday lives, reflecting the warmth and love he so generously shared with them.
In addition to his immediate family, Tyrell leaves behind a vast circle of aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and co-workers, each holding a piece of his heart.
