TyJohn Samuel Wolfrey was born on March 17, 2001, in Richmond, Virginia. God called him home in the early hours on Monday, May 8, 2023. TyJohn was taught the word of God at Land of Promise Church in Spotsylvania, Virginia. He accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into his heart as his Lord and Savior at a young age. In 2017, he received his diploma from Leer Universal High School at the age of 17 years old.

TyJohn loved working with heavy equipment and various types of machinery. Where most people would have to be trained in this arena, this ability came naturally to TyJohn. He also had a passion for riding, whether it was a dirt bike, motorcycle, or a four-wheeler. If it had wheels on it, then TyJohn was sure to be able to drive it. Besides showcasing his talent to ride, TyJohn also loved to rap and was a natural comedian, or at least he thought he was. He loved to make people laugh and put a smile on someone's face. TyJohn was very family oriented and loved spending time with his family and friends. He had a way of drawing people towards him with his contagious affectionate spirit. TyJohn loved hard and he had a big heart, especially for those closest to him. He was especially crazy about his Papa!
