We celebrate the life of Tyshon Antonio Brazile Sr., born on October 9, 1973, in Long Branch, New Jersey, to George Thomas Mitchell Jr. (Jane) and Marsha Brazile Bagley. Surrounded by his loving family, he peacefully departed this life on March 7, 2025, in Neptune, New Jersey.
Tyshon was a devoted brother to Robert “Bee” Bagley Jr., Willie Bagley, TuRob “Robbie” Bagley, and Chance Bernard Bagley. He was preceded in death by his stepfather, Robert Bernard Bagley Sr., and his "ride or die" friend, whom he called his brother, Derek Love. Tyshon was dearly loved by his Aunt Lorene Spencer, Aunt Celia Brazile, and Uncle Brian Hunter. He also shared a close relationship with his cousins, Anthony “Bama” Brazile and Ethel Dinkins. He was a former member of First Union Baptist Church and was baptized at the age of 12 by Rev. George Hunley Sr.
Tyshon was a man of many talents, with hands skilled in both artistry and craftsmanship. Whether holding a pencil or a pair of clippers, he had a unique ability to create beauty in every stroke and every trim. His passion shone through as he meticulously sketched logos and designs for local entrepreneurs, turning their dreams into reality with each carefully drawn line. He often said, “A good cut and a good drawing have one thing in common—they tell a story.” His talents were not just skills; they were his way of giving back, leaving his mark on the world—one masterpiece at a time.
Tyshon’s legacy continues through his beloved children: Tahmir Nashon Brazile, Tahmel I. “Melly” Brazile, Tyshon Antonio “Stuff” Brazile Jr., and precious daughter Zaja Sheree “Moo-Moo” Brazile.
His love, creativity, and generosity will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Tyshon’s long-time devoted friends included Bibi Bennett, Hakim Dupree, Idivine Clark, Davon Stephenson, and Jamar Thompson.
Family was the foundation of his life—the unshakable pillar upon which he built his legacy. He believed that true wealth was not measured in material things but in the love shared between family members, the laughter echoing through a home, and the unwavering support of those bound by blood and heart.
He was the glue that held everyone together, the quiet force that reminded us that no matter where life took us, we always had each other. Whether through Sunday dinners filled with stories, gentle words of wisdom in times of doubt, or simply showing up when it mattered most, he taught us that family was not just something you were born into—it was something you nurtured, protected, and cherished. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit lives on in every embrace, every shared meal, and every moment we choose love over distance. His legacy is not just in the memories we hold but in the way we continue to hold each other close.
