James Tyson Porcella

Tyson Porcella, forever 15, of Lenoir City passed away suddenly on Saturday, May 8, 2021, surrounded by people who love him. Tyson was a freshman at Lenoir City High School and was wholeheartedly involved with Young Life Loudon County. Tyson was baptized and had accepted Jesus into his precious heart. If you knew Tyson, then you know laughter and nonstop goofiness. If you are his friend, then you know the definition of loyalty. He loves so fiercely, and if you needed a friend, he was your guy! Classrooms, club rooms, homes and hearts are going to be a little dimmer without Tyson’s bright light. Tyson is survived by his parents, James and Julie Porcella; his beloved little sister, Payton; his grandparents, Randy and Patty McNabb and Russ and Faye Porcella; great grandpa Johnny McNabb; aunts who had a special bond with him, Macy McNabb and Charlotte Gullicksen, and so many other aunts and uncles that love him. Tyson was lucky to have so many cousins that love him. Rusty Joiner, Chris Joiner, Caitlin Joiner, Carson Joiner, Cody Porcella, Collin Kirkland, Charlie Kirkland are just a few of the people that Tyson loves with all his heart. Preceded in death by his dear cousin, Timothy Porcella, who we know is waiting to give him a ride on T’s truck, and many dear grandparents and great-grandparents that loved him.
