Tyrone "Ty" Crandall

Tyrone “Ty” Crandall, affectionately known as Ty Guy and Tyrone Baloon, passed away at the age of 11 and a half. From the very first day he was brought home by Gram Gram as a surprise for Collin on his last day of 6th grade, Ty’s loyal heart and big personality became a cherished part of our family

Ty was stubborn yet endlessly loving, a true companion through every season of life. He was well loved and returned that love tenfold. Ty had a special fondness for his fox blanket, often burrowing underneath it, and he never turned down the chance to share whatever his humans were eating. Whether he was diligently “guarding” the house from his perch on the back of the couch, marking his territory with determination, or simply cuddling close, Ty’s presence filled our home with warmth, laughter, and comfort.

He began his journey growing up in the family home with Collin, Ron, and Alicia, and in his later years moved out to happily live with Collin and Angel, alongside his furry siblings, Cooper and Dixie. Through it all, his favorite title was “Collin’s buddy,” a role he carried with loyalty and devotion every single day.

Ty will forever be remembered for his quirky spirit, his watchful eyes, and the unconditional love he gave so freely. He was more than a pet—he was family, and his paw prints will remain forever on our hearts.

Please take time to sign Ty’s guestbook and share a memory with his family.

The Crandall family is being cared for by the Avink, McCowen & Secord Funeral Homes and Cremation Society, 129 South Grand Street, Schoolcraft, MI 49087. (269) 679-5622.
