Bro. Tyrone Comfort will forever be remembered by The Church House Family-Ladson. We really enjoyed his zealous spirit, his love for music and singing and love for the Lord. How can I forget his ability to dress sharp every Sunday, never seen him in the same suit twice. May his soul rest in peace and may his loved ones find peace and comfort in the days ahead. I'll close with one of his favorite songs, "There's a Lily in the valley, bright as the morning star.. Amen, Amen, Amen"
Yours in Christ,

Shocked and saddened to hear of his untimely passing. I worked with Tyrone at Ashley Furniture and he was always so professional, always had a big smile and a joke, and was the best dressed man on the staff. He used to give anyone that needed it the best chiropractic "back crack" in town. Condolences to his close friends and family.

Family gatherings will never be the same again. The news of your passing was unexpected and my heart is broken. I never had a chance to say "goodbye". That hurts more than anything. Your smile, your jokes, your keen fashion sense, and dedication to your family will be missed. I love you, Uncle Ty and I miss you more than I can EVER express.

Love,

Your favorite niece

My prayers are with you Comfort family. I met Tyrone when we worked at JCPennies together. He was a fun and kind man who loved his music. Many people were blessed through the songs he sung at Church House Ministries. He made sure we were always in tune no matter how long the rehearsal. Tyrone made a deep impact in my life. Get some rest for those tired feet Tyrone. Heaven has gained an amazing tenor.

Words cannot express the remorse and sorrow my heart feels receiving words of my classmate, my church brother, and my friend passing. I've shared many wonderful memories with Tyrone (full with songs and laughter) of which I have never forgotten. His presence to me, was like a ray of sunshine, it illuminated everything in its midst. He will truly be missed on this side but I earnestly believe my brother is now resting in the arms of Jesus and we will meet again. To Tyrone's family, I send my regards and prayers for your strength during this time.

To my family, continue to hold onto God's unchanging hands, and HE will continue to see you through! Cuz, I would have never imaged that you would not be here on this day! When I saw you, you stated to me,"Cuz, give me a call!" and you rode off on your bike on Grove St. . My Lord! I will miss you, as well as laughing and talking with you!Now you have a new address, a new robe and a new walk! Go on now and take your rest.... "Thank you!" as I always told you when you helped me in school when I got sick( you still laughed at that until now....) Sleep Tyrone....sleep!

My thoughts and prayers are with The Family. I was shocked to learn of Tyrone's passing. We attended Burke High School and Attended Abundant Life AME Zion Church. There was never a dull moment in class because everybody knew Ty was a comedian. He loved to sing in the choir. Last time I saw him was working at Ashely furniture and he was always cracking jokes then.He knew how to make you laugh. Gonna miss my Friend but I Know God needed you most. SIP Tee till we meet again.
