Tyrone Peaton

TYRONE PEATON was born to Junior Irving and Sudie Peaton (Shambley), on April 19, 1958 at Church Home Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He was the second son of three children, Dennis (brother) and Vera Ann (sister) Peaton, both preceded him in death. "Tydie" (Tyrone) as he was affectionately known by his family and friends started his road to education at Columbus School no. 99 and various other public schools in Baltimore City. Among the schools he attended is the prestigious Dunbar Senior High School from which he graduated in 1978. After graduating from high school, he joined the United States Marine Corps from 1981 to 1988. He was honorably discharged as a Marine Lance Corporal. After leaving the military, Tyrone was gainfully employed at the Cambridge Metal and Iron Company, where he was a sorter of metals and aluminum. After an accident rendered him incapable of continuing his work at Cambridge, he went to work as a Customer Service Representative at Bal Masque Costumers. Tyrone had several hobbies and as a young boy he joined his grandfather, William Peaton (Buddy) and his companion in constructing puzzles. He also enjoyed watching cooking shows and reading cook books with the intent to one day cook many of the fancy dishes he saw. Tyrone spent the bulk of his young life with his maternal grandfather and his companion (Annie Patterson) and as such Tyrone learned to be a devoted worker in the House of the Lord. As a young man he accompanied his grandfather to Charity Baptist Church, where they cleaned and maintained the House of the Lord. Tyrone committed himself to the Lord and showed this by being baptized at the Highway Church of Christ under the leadership of the late Bishop Fred Page in 1988. He later became a member of Anointed House of Prayer under the leadership of Apostle Dr. Bessie Jean Gaylord (PhD). There he was a faithful member and became the janitor and all around handyman until his illness and final transition made it impossible to do so. Although Tyrone had only one biological daughter, Tyreka Peaton, he became a father to a former companion's five children, Kimmy, Regina, Penny, Danita, and Sherelle. Tyrone will be missed by all who loved him. He leaves to cherish his memory: his aunt and uncle, Bessie and Jerry Gaylord; an adopted brother, Norman Patterson, Jr.; niece, Latoya Peaton Forrest (Vera Ann); two nephews, Dennis and Steve Peaton (Dennis); two adopted nieces, Michelle Dyson, Denise Patterson; adopted nephew, Norman Patterson III; great-nephew, Marquice Woodrup (LaToya); great-niece, Raven Forrest (LaToya); and a host of other relatives and friends.
