Tyson Jay Cole Pitchford, 41, went to his heavenly home, on November 9, 2026, in Paris, Texas, surrounded by his loved ones.

Pitchford, Jr.; Papa Edgar L. "Son" Bryant, Sr. and Grandpa Sam Morris.

Tyson was a lifelong resident of McCurtain County, Oklahoma. He was a proud graduate of Valliant High School, Class of 2003. He was a carpenter by trade, and he took great pride in working with his hands and using his natural ability to build, repair, and help others. Tyson was also a member of the several Bass Clubs, where he enjoyed the fellowship of others who shared his love of the outdoors and the quiet satisfaction that came from time spent on the water.

Fishing was one of his favorite pastimes, and it brought him peace and many treasured memories. He also enjoyed deer and turkey hunting. He was selfless in the way he cared for others, often putting the needs of family and friends before his own without hesitation. In his younger years, Tyson spent a great deal of time with his Papa Son and Nanny Jean.

He deeply valued family, and he especially loved spending time with his daughters, who were the light of his life. His love for them was unmistakable, and he treasured every moment he had with them. Tyson was the kind of man people could depend on at any time, no matter the hour. He really enjoyed traditional country music. Tyson will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
