Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryTYSONN RAY FARION It is with the heaviest of hearts and greatest sorrow we announce the accidental passing of Tysonn on Saturday, August 13, 2016 at the age of 24 years. Tysonn will be deeply missed by his high school sweetheart and fiancée Courtney Benne, and his loving parents Dennis and Phyllis Farion. He will also be greatly missed by his sister, Melanie Delogos (George) and nieces Emily and Olivia; aunties: Marlene (Stan), and Eileen (Albert); uncles: Doug ( Janice), Alvin (Audrey), George (Linda), and Pat (Sharon), as well as many cousins and his fiancée's family, Mike, Shannon, Brenden, Taylor and Brooklyn. Tysonn was born on September 6, 1991 in Winnipeg. Right from when he was little he had a smile that could warm a room and a personality larger than life. He graduated high school in Selkirk, attended Red River and then found his true calling after graduating from the Correctional Service of Canada. Upon graduation he moved to Prince Albert for two years with his love, Courtney and he worked at the Saskatchewan Penitentiary. Tysonn was proud to be of service and beamed with pride every time he spoke of his colleagues or his career. Ever since Tysonn was a little boy he wanted to be within the law enforcement service and he found his place within it. Tysonn was loved by all that knew him and would help anyone that needed it. He always wanted the best for people and would always go over and above for family and friends. Everywhere he went there was a friend to be made. Tysonn (and Courtney) loved the outdoors; camping and hiking, traveling, road trips, gaming, getting dressed up (costume or formal), being with family - especially attending family events, and loved spending time with his friends. Tysonn loved being with his dad whether it be working with him or fixing up and restoring cars. Tysonn also had a love for animals especially his two dogs, Calypso and Titan. Tysonn: we will all miss that smile, laugh and especially your big bear hugs. During your short time here you left the world in a better place by just being in it. A celebration of Tysonn's life will be held on Saturday, August 20, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. at North Kildonan Mennonite Brethren Church, 1315 Gateway Road in Winnipeg. A heartfelt thanks and greatest appreciation to all the friends, family and neighbours that have helped out the family during this difficult time. "If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane, I'd walk right up to Heaven And bring you home again." -Unknown www.seasonsfunerals.ca

Tyson and Courtney were renters at our home in Birch Hills, Saskatchewan for the last year. When we heard the news by phone that Tyson was in an accident and passed away we were in shocked and in disbelief. Tyson was a great guy and we would of been proud to call him a friend,brother or son. The Farion's did a great job on raising Tyson and his character showed it. To everyone involved in this heartbreaking loss we send our deepest condolences. To the Farions, Courtney and family we are truly sorry. Tyson will always be in our hearts - Posted by: Dario & Delia Jureskin (Landlord) on: Aug 26, 2016

Aunt Phyllis, Uncle Dennis, Courtney, Melanie and family, When I think of Tysonn, I think of the most amazing young man that I have ever met. He made people feel so special by his beaming smile, his loving hugs and his genuine happiness. Watching him grow up, achieving such great things, made us so pleased. When I spoke to Tysonn at his shower, he told me that he was so very happy and that he had everything that he had always wanted in life. Thank you to all of you special people for being a huge part of what made Tysonn feel so complete. We will miss him dearly. He brought so much joy to our family. Once when at a family gathering, I stood back in awe and thanked God for Tysonn. He was and continues to be our angel. - Posted by: Bonnie and Michael Slobodian (Alexi, Payton and Brooke) (first cousin) on: Aug 17, 2016

May your angel Always be with you. - Posted by: Sara Ralke (Friend/ Previous co-worker) on: Aug 16, 2016

Tysonn was a loving friend to Branden. He always came into the house to chat with us when he was here with the crew. He was a good conversationalist, funny, polite and considerate. We were proud of him in his career accomplishments. We were so looking forward to the wedding to meet his family and have some happy family time with the kids. Words can't express how John and I are so very sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Linda Grieve-Kopochinski (Branden's mom) on: Aug 16, 2016
