John Tyrrell

<p>John “Burger” Tyrrell passed away at the age of 65 on August 30, 2024. John was proudly born and raised in the “Beautiful Bronx” by his parents, John and Elizabeth Tyrrell (nee Cleary). He was born on April 21 st , 1959, the seventh of ten siblings. John is survived by his brothers, Michael (Paul), Stephen (Ellen), Edward (Carol), Thomas (Maryanne), Joseph (Francesca), Peter (Susan) and sisters Ann Timper (Robert), Mary Brown (Edward), and Grace Rutan (John). He is also survived by his loving, devoted wife Mary Mulroy with whom he shared four children Brian Mulroy (Allison), John, Mary, and Michael. He was also a loving uncle to many nieces and nephews.</p><p><br></p><p>John worked for the New York City Fire Department for thirty years and was a 9/11 first responder. He will be remembered for his story-telling abilities, fantastic cooking, and tailgating expertise. He was a proud fan of the New York Mets, New York Giants, Rolling Stones, and Johnny Cash. He loved to spend time on his boat, go camping with his family, and perfecting his dart-playing ability.</p><p><br></p><p>He will also be remembered by his many friends: friends that grew up with him in Silver Beach, friends he made at Aviation High School (the best high school in the entire world, according to him), friends who worked with him in the Fire Department (especially Engine 75 and Ladder 33), friends who he hung out with at the Locust Point Yacht Club, friends who he played darts with, and so many more that met him and fell in love with his infectious personality. People will remember him for being the loudest person in the room, the laughter and ease he</p><p>brought to those around him, and his unrelenting generosity. He taught many lessons to his children, nieces and nephews, and friends, but the most important one was how to properly ice a cooler. He will be dearly missed.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Throggs Neck Benevolent Association</p>
