He was born in Arlington on April 24, 1981, and was reared in Euless, where he graduated from Euless Trinity High School. Tyson graduated from Texas A&M University in 2003 with a bachelor's in business administration with a focus on marketing. He held a number of leadership positions, passing on the traditions of Texas A&M where he met his wife-to-be. He was happily married to the love of his life, Kristin Nicole Sapaugh Wallis, for over seven years. He spent most of his adult life in the Houston area where he served in a number of marketing and management positions, impacting thousands of lives each month. He was most recently the vice president of media and investor relations for University General Hospital System, a position in which he took great pride. He and Kristin were active at First Baptist Church of Houston. Despite their busy lives, Tyson devoted his life to his family, whom he adored. Tyson and Kristin spent three years praying and waiting for their miracles to arrive. When God blessed them with Elle and Liv, they fell in love with their baby girls who are truly the joys of their lives. Tyson was a wonderful man and the kind of person we all strive to become. His kindness, compassion, love and nurturing spirit reflected Jesus. We miss him and cannot wait to meet him in heaven to receive his trademark "Tyson hug."
Survivors: He is survived by a loving family, his wife, Kristin Nicole Sapaugh Wallis; his twin daughters, Eleanor Cathryn and Olivia Jeannette; his mother and father, Maxine and Bill Wallis; his brother, Walton Wallis; his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Donald and Debra Sapaugh; his sister-in-law, Lauren Appel and husband, Jameson; brother-in-law, Kyle Sapaugh and wife, Jennifer; and his nieces, Dawn, Tanner, Presley, Andersen and Madden Sapaugh.

He also cherished the memories he made with his college best friends, Dave Hoffman, Trey Jackson, and Eric Rimling.
