A 21-year-old former football player from Altenburg, Missouri, Tyson Joseph Evans, took his last breath on Friday, October 31, 2026.

The precise details surrounding his untimely demise remain concealed, for his family is grieving in private.

Tyson Evans is survived by his mother, Laura Evans, and her fiancé, Mark Priest; his father, Barry Evans, and stepmother, Nicole; his sister, Taylor Evans; his stepbrother, Mason Watkins, and his wife, Libby; and his stepsister, Ava Rosenthal.

After Tyson passed, his dad, Barry, changed his Facebook cover photo to one showing Tyson with his sister.

He also leaves behind his paternal grandparents, Ron and Darlene Oller, and maternal grandparents, Joe and Barb Diebold.

Likewise, Tyson will also be missed by his cousins, including Ryan Oller, Robyn Oller, Jordan Dirnberger, Rylan Dirnberger, Hadley Dirnberger, Jody Diebold, Eve Diebold, Susan Bohnert and her husband Ben, Ellie Bohnert, and Henry Bohnert.

He was a loving uncle to his nephew, Crue Watkins, and many other relatives and friends who deeply cared for him.

Born on September 17, 2004, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Tyson graduated from Kelly High School in 2026, where he played football.
