Ty grew up in Florissant, MO and attended Sacred Heart Catholic School and St. Thomas Aquinas High School. As a public servant, he served on active duty in the US Air Force and retired from the US Postal Service. He was a member of St. Daniel the Prophet Catholic Church, where he served in the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic beneficial society.

Ty loved his family and regularly traveled across the country to share life with them. He was a simple kind of guy with a heart of gold—generous, kind, never met a stranger, and like his Dad, loved making people laugh. He will be sorely missed.
