Tyrone Anthony McDuff was born June 14, 1971, in Dallas, Texas to Ceaser Romero McDuff and Pearlie Mae Jones. Tyrone was the third child of six children.

He received his formal education in the Dallas Independent School District. He attended and graduated from South Oak Cliff High School. Tyrone has always been known to be a hard worker. He worked for Citi Bank for over ten years until his position was moved to the East Coast. He also worked part-time at Two Podners for close to 20 years.

Tyrone was a proud father to Tyrone McDuff, Jr., Tyrese McDuff, and Amarion McDuff.

Many would describe Tyrone as laidback and quiet. His family would describe him as loud and always teasing. Tyrone was a homebody; he was not known to hang out or party. If he did show up, he was not going to stay long.

Tyrone was big on family. He was always one of the first, if not the first to reach out for holidays and birthdays. He always used to say if he ever got rich, he was going to take care of his whole family. Tyrone will be remembered for his sense of humor, his sense of style and most of all kind heart.

Tyrone was preceded in death by his father, Ceaser McDuff; his mother, Pearlie McDuff; and his brother, Bobby McDuff.

Tyrone leaves to cherish his loving memories: his children, Tyrone, Tyrese, and Amarion; his siblings, Ceaser (Kim), Shervita (Craig), Constance, and Stephen and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
