Ned Langston Tyrone went to be with his savior Jesus Christ on July 24, 2020, after a brief battle with lung cancer. His friends and family knew him better as "Goose".
Goose was born in Prentiss, MS on April 18, 1947, to Mildred Langston Tyrone and Edward Farrar Tyrone, Sr. Goose served in the United States Air Force from 1966 to 1970 and retired with the rank of Sergeant. Goose later worked in offshore drilling for 35 years and retired from Ensco in 2008 as a barge engineer. His career led him to Brazil, Holland, and the Gulf of Mexico.
Goose never met a stranger and was glad to talk with anyone, anytime. He enjoyed hunting, and especially fishing. Goose loved collecting and researching old and antique fishing baits, rods, reels and fishing memorabilia.
Goose was predeceased by his parents, Mildred and Edward, and his brother, Edward Tyrone, Jr. He is survived by his wife Deborah (Davis) Tyrone and sons Josh (wife Christina and sons Davis and Langston), and Brian (wife Rosalind and daughters Emma and Ellis). Ned is also survived by his brother Glenn Tyrone (wife Debbie) and a number of nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be at Antioch Baptist Church (843 Granby Road, Prentiss, MS 39474) on July 26, 2020, at 4:00 p.m. Graveside service to follow across the street at 5:00 p.m.
For everyone's safety, we ask that masks are worn inside the church and distancing is observed. Masks optional outside, but please observe distancing.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a donation be made to a non profit that introduces fishing to children without the means or role models to do so. Examples are https://foundationmwfp.com/donations/ or https://castforkids.org/ or https://theikefoundation.org/donate/.
