grandfather George Sayer of Lexington; great-grandmothers, Doris Farr of 
Cambridge Elithe Little of Cambridge and Edna Mott of Oberlin, Kan., as well

Tyson was born in Holdrege on Sept. 8, 1995, to Gregg and Andrea (Farr) 
Sayer.  Tyson grew up in Cambridge going to Cambridge Public School where he 
was a seventh grader. He was active in sports, football and track.

On Jan. 26, 2000 at the age of four and a half, Tyson was diagnosed with 
cancer.  In 2001 after a bone marrow transplant, Tyson was reported to have 
been in remission of the cancer.  In 2002 Tyson and his family went to the 
Magic Kingdom on a Make-A-Wish trip.   Tyson has lived life to the fullest in 
his short lifetime. 

He enjoyed his grandparent’s farm where he was the “ranch-hand.” He enjoyed 
the horses especially the horse named ”Phil,” fixing fence and working in the 
kennels.  Tyson was a huge Texas Longhorn fan.  He had autographs from the 
2008 Football team and a special autographed picture by Coach Mack Brown.  His 
basic wardrobe was of Burnt Orange (Texas Orange) including t-shirts, jerseys, 
shorts and sweats pants.  In April, he ventured to Lincoln to watch the 
Huskers take on the Longhorns.  At that time he was given an autographed 
baseball by the Texas Team. Tyson was not only a ranch-hand cowboy but was a 
True Texas Longhorn Cowboy. 

Tyson was an accomplished bowler. He bowled singles and family double with his 
grandmother LaVella.  He received many local awards, but also many national 
awards for his bowling.  He placed first in scratch high series in the Western 
Division. He went to Colorado placing second in the Junior Collegiate Bowling 
tourney.  He enjoyed 4-H, NASCAR, swimming, hunting pheasant, quail and deer. 

He was to go to Texas this fall to hunt wild boars.  Tyson’s big dream was to 
be a chef and open a gourmet restaurant and a bowling alley.  Figuring by the 
time he was old enough Dick Barnes would be ready to retire and Tyson could 
buy the restaurant and make his dream come true. Tyson enjoyed singing.  He 
was a member of the Arapahoe Christian Church.  He was friendly and always had 
a smile and willing to talk to anyone.
