Howdy! That was always the first word to come out of Tyson’s mouth when he greeted people. Tyson Gene Haycock entered this world on the 21st of August, 2000 at the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho. His parents Dustin Gene Haycock and Jessica Christina Adams would later give him a sister and a brother. Natalie and Caiden, whom he loved dearly.
Tyson’s greatest joys were hunting with his family, volunteering at the Vet, playing and listening to music, caring for our dogs Jerzey, Copper, and Rocco and his cat Chirp. Those animals were his greatest pride and joy.He loved his mission more than anything else as he was serving the Lord and gaining his own testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Even though he only served a few weeks in New Mexico, he fell in love with his mission and especially his companions Elder Britton Jeremie Berrett and Elder Michael Austin Davis. Tyson is continuing his service to the Lord on the other side of the veil alongside his companion Elder Davis.
Our brother Tyson was very outgoing, caring, and very very stubborn. Not a day went by when he didn’t do some act of service whether it be helping our neighbors, helping mom with work, cooking and baking for our family, or helping his little sister with her car troubles and all of her gardening needs. In fact, he insisted and was eager to do these things. Starting from a young age, he had a love for music. You would not find him without at least one earbud in his ear. We would often play “Guess the Song” as a family together as music is such an important aspect in our family. We would also have competitions seeing who could get the bigger deer. Tyson had his years where he was close to getting the biggest deer, but Caiden would always show him up. He would always take care of skinning it though. Tyson would still say he’s the better hunter. He would not leave the house without a sharp knife and would often be found sharpening one of his many knives. He loved nature and everything that came with it. He’d often chase Natalie with snakes, frogs, toads, and even a quail that he found in our yard. He loved making people laugh and smile and could tell when someone needed a pick-me-up. He loved being with his best friend “Pipsqueak” McKinsey Jerrel which included getting their cherished pedicures.
If you didn’t find him helping out mom or working around the house, then you would find him working on his many projects, his last of which being a bow. But at the end of the day, family and friends were most important to him.
Tyson was greeted on the other side of the veil on the 22nd of July 2021 by his grandmother Darlene Adams, great-grandparents Wayne and Alice Anne Christensen, great-grandparents Jim and Mabel Adams, grandfather Donald Haycock, grandmother Carla Vasquez, great grandparents Deral and Margie Haycock, great-grandmother June Haycock, great-grandparents James and Ruby Jennings, uncle Timothy Haycock, and aunt Jody Longie. We know that families can be together forever and hold fast to that knowledge.
Tyson is terribly missed by his parents Dustin and Jessica Haycock, sisters Natalie and Calista, brother Caiden, grandparents Jon and Suzie Adams, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Thank you to all of those who showed their love to Tyson in the Idaho, Oregon, Montana, and New Mexico areas.

Jon Adams says
Tyson will be missed. He was always so cheerful. He loved animals and especially my two huskies. He followed his own paths and made a mark everywhere he went.

We are devastated, and so very sorry, Haycock family. We will miss Tyson’s sense of humor, his kilt, and his dimpled smile. I like to imagine that our own dimpled girl is showing him the ropes in his new mission transfer, and I have no doubt he’ll continue to be a great missionary on the other side of the veil, too.

Raylynn Sleight says
Dearest Haycock Family –
The joy felt when Tyson chose to take time away from his life to serve a mission was immense for me. I watched him grow so much in such a short time after he was told he would serve with the people of Farmington, NM. His humble words of hope and excitement to serve the Navajo Nation were so profound and I remember texting Jess saying how good this would be for Tyson. The grief and sadness I feel alongside you will never equal your own pain. I mourn with you and love you all so much. May you feel peace and comfort in the days ahead and always.
Zook Family says
Haycock Family….we are saddened to hear this. We send lots of hugs, love, and prayers to all of you.

Tyson was genuine and very very caring. He thought of other people first. I will never forget him running around the quad at college barking like a dog. He had so much enthusiasm for life. He loved that kilt so much and was so cute in it. He is with his grandmother now working as a missionary on the other side. God had bigger plans for him than anyone knew. I am going to miss him so much. Aunt C

I want you to know that we love you Haycock family. Tyson was a beautiful person with a lovely personality and will be greatly missed. I loved wearing a kilt with him to church and teaching him at Institute. I loved Spending time with him. He was always so kind to help me move a piano or a couch. This young man was definitely one of God’s chosen.Tyson was excited and loved serving the Lord. He came to institute so excited to share the news that he was going to Farmington New Mexico to serve an LDS mission. He is an exceptional missionary and will be missed deeply here in Miles City. The Lord has called him home and in this I can find peace. May God please bless your family through this hard time.

Ken and Allison Larsen says
We loved Tyson,
We invited him to YSA Activities while we served as Senior Missionaries in Miles City. He came to dinner at our place with the Elder Missionaries and we enjoyed playing games and visiting with him. He always came up to us and said hi, at church or just on the sidewalks of Miles City. We send our love to his family…friends and relatives who will miss him so much.
Austin Family says
Haycock Family- Tyson was such a nice young man with a good heart. Proud of his family, sacrificing his own comforts and doing something for the good of others. Faith is believing in something real that can’t be seen or understood. Likewise, Tyson is continuing his mission and is a gods blessing to others who are in need. Peace be wth you!

We met Elder Haycock right after he arrived in Ramah. My son had just finished his mission and we were visiting his favorite area. Elder Haycock was a sweet young man and we feel blessed to have met him. So sorry for your loss, our deepest condolences.
Mohan Raffety says
Haycock Family! My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow and grief. I met Tyson when I picked him up for institute. I loved his sense of humor and wanting to learn at institute. It was a hole when he left for his mission, and I can’t imagine that hole he has left all of you. May you find comfort and surround yourselves with all the memories, and know he will always be your guardian angel above! Lot of of Love to you all- Mohan

The Cox Family says
Elder Haycock brightened our lives with his kindness and enthusiasm for life and the gospel of Jesus Christ. His participation in the weekly volleyball and basketball games helped us get to know him, we loved having him play, and he was much better than he thought he was. His kind nature, willingness to serve others, and most of all his friendship will greatly be missed. Your family is in our prayers.
Carilee Sleight says
Dear Haycock Family,
Your son/brother was your greatest sacrifice–accepted of the Lord. He will help you as you navigate the difficult times of missing him so badly. Go easy on yourselves, for this is a shock that will take time and patience to resolve. Your friends are near you to help with the burden of that reality.
Killian Family says
Haycock family,
Thank you for sharing Elder Haycock with us here in Ramah. He was a light and a joy to be around. My oldest son, who is 5, adored him and I am so thankful for the example he set for my son. He was loved here in Ramah not just by our family but by everyone who knew him.
Diane Emeney says
Oh I am so so sorry for your loss.. He was such a sweet person. I pray God wraps His arms around you both and just comforts you as only He can. If there is anything I can do to help you during this time, just ask
Cindy and Dale Berg says
Dustin and family,
We are so sorry about the loss of your dear son Tyson. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you all now and in the days ahead.
Heidi Jacobsen says
Words cannot express the sadness I have felt since I heard the news of Tyson’s passing. I loved him like he was my own. I’ll never forget the time we served together, doing some painting for a ward member. We had a whole day together and I learned about all of his loves and ambitions. We talked about so many things and had a great rapport with each other. Often we met out walking our dogs on the hospital track. We would visit for a bit and go on our way. I enjoyed the times when he was in my class at church, or the times when we would visit in the hallway. We’d talked about his motorcycle he was going to fix up, or about dogs or about his thoughts regarding school or a mission. He always had a smile, quick wit, cheerful wave and I loved him in that kilt of his. He did things his own way, and I loved him for that too. When he first left home, I felt that there was a hole there. When he left on his mission, he left a hole again. Now, he leaves a gaping hole, at church, at home and in our hearts. I know he is well and safe in our Father’s loving arms but it just seems too hard, too short, not enough. I know the Savior will eventually make this all right, but for now, this hurts an awfully lot. I hope peace finds its way into all of our hearts but mostly for Jessica, Dustin, Natalie and Caiden. I love you Haycock Family.
Daylene Myers says
Elder Haycock was an amazing young man with an incredible personality and a sweet spirit. He was often in deep reflection about stuff. He loved animals of all kinds. And they knew they were safe with him. He had great testimony of the Gospel and was just learning how to articulate his thoughts and feelings about something that meant so much to him. He will forever be an imprint on my heart. I loved him like he was my own. I will truly miss him. Until we meet again CuZ.
Sister Amy Baeza says
I am so sorry for your loss. Tyson was in some of my Animal Science classes at BYU-Idaho. He was so pleasant in class and always had a smile. I only saw him online but I could feel that he was great person with a great sense of humor. He will be missed.
Whitney River says
Elder Haycock was an amazing guy that we loved dearly here in Ramah. I remember his first night here in Ramah my oldest son wanted to show him our beautiful rooster. So as you can imagine Elder Haycock in our living room holding a rooster in his lap…. For 30 min! Well he eventually got pooped on and didn’t have a care in the world. We loved having your son in our home and we are so grateful you shared him with us. He will be dearly missed and our prayers are with you and your family.
George and Jan Simmons says
Dustin, Jessica, and family, These words from today’s priesthood seemed appropriate for this time, taken from D&C 84:88 “….. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up”. I hope this passage can bring some comfort as you mourn Tyson’s loss. Our prayers are with you.
Pam Griffin says

My prayers are with the family of this wonderful missionary who’s just been transferred to another mission. I didn’t know him personally, but I couldn’t help and think about his family.

Lionel and Marianne Walters says
Dear Haycock Family,
From far away Tasmania, Australia, we did not know Elder Haycock but have felt a beautiful spirit as we have read about him by those who did know him. You must be a marvellous family to have raised such a fine son. May you find solace in Heavenly Father’s love for your son, brother, grandson and all the other roles he filled. May you also find peace in the knowledge that Heavenly Father knows and loves each of you. May the assurance that the Saviour knows exactly how you are managing this unexpected experience, bring you comfort.
With much love and admiration,
Lionel and Marianne Walters

We cannot fathom how difficult this must be. We are praying for you often. Tyson loves you all so very much. No doubt he is right beside you through this difficult time. You are loved by many members of this community. Your family has served countless others and has rarely been the recipient. It’s your turn. Let the love flow with your tears.
Love,
The Walleys
Lucy Anderson says
I am so sorry for your loss. No words can really convey that. I read the news but didn’t know this sweet missionary was from MT. We are from western MT and family all over. I lost my brother and mom in the last 2 years. My brother unexpectedly due to an AVM in his brain. I remember a family friend who lost her son at 14 hugging me and saying that eventually I would remember him with smiles instead of tears. I do. I can’t comprehend your loss but your family will be in my prayers. I am grateful for his service and that through the gospel of Jesus Christ he is continuing to serve on the other side of the veil. What a glorious day when we are all together. Prayers to your family and loved ones.

Rex Morris says
I am so thankful for Elder Haycock and his willingness to teach the restored gospel and bear witness of the Savior. Even though it was such a short time in New Mexico, Elder Haycock made an impact and left Ramah a better place for having been here. The last thing I heard him say was he wanted to go to Alaska after his mission. I asked him why you’re from Montana. He said he’s always had an interest in going there.
Rayanne Garland Brown says
I grew up in Miles City so the news of these sweet missionaries hit very close to home. My husband and I have recently returned from a mission and we love the young missionaries so much!

Andrea Landee says
❤️❤️❤️
You taught me well and loved me
In times of sun and storm.
You kept me safe and held my hand
My character to form
I learned to follow Jesus
To serve my fellow man
I learned I am His child
I felt where love began
Today, I’m with my Savior
I am transferred to His care
I hear His voice from this side
And still His love I’ll share
Please know I love you always
I will not be far away
The veil is truly thin here
I will see your every day
I know your heart is breaking
And I know that love will heal
Because the Savior knelt to pray
Our every pain to feel
You will not see me close at hand
But know that I near
Whenever rainbows reach to earth
Or bird calls come out clear
The breezes bring a little hug
The sun will warm your face
To keep you safely in our care
Back to Heaven’s Grace
Evans Family says
Our deepest sympathies are with the Haycock family, we so enjoyed seeing and having Elder Haycock over to our house, we have 2 teenage boys who respected the missionaries whenever they were to come over to lift weights or play basketball it was an honor to get to know them.
Danielle, Steve, Steven, Anthony and Matt Ray says
Tyson was such a kind young man and was a true inspiration to everyone around him. He had the most beautiful heart and character that shared the gospel and served others.

Robin Kichnet says
Dear Haycock family: My husband Bob and I are so sorry for the loss of your wonderful son. We were in COLSTRIP ward, then Plentywood and will be back in COLSTRIP next month after 5 years in KY. I too lost a son in a car accident who was just shy of his 16th birthday. This will be hard to bear for a time because it isn’t what you wanted, and you didn’t want your life altered in this way. There will be a sting that will eventually fade. Oh the humility of grief! We add our prayers to those of all these good people who love you and peace be with you.
Tom & Nona Muckle says
With our thoughts and prayers.
Ramah Jordan says
I was blessed to get to know Elder Haycock before his passing. I will cherish the moments we spent playing volleyball, spike-ball, and the card game speed with him, Elder Davis, and Elder Berrett. He was truly an amazing young man with a great personality. His love for the Lord and others around him shined bright. He will be greatly missed! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!

I PRAY THAT THIS GIVE YOU THE STRENGHT TO GET THUR THIS.
I WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOU DUSTIN & YOUR FAMILY
Hallie Walley says
Tyson, all I can think about is your big smile and the love that was felt when you walked in the room. I remember when we got back from one of our trips and you had bought our dogs special toys out of your own pocket while watching them, I don’t think I ever thanked you for how well you care for them. I love animals, I didn’t think anyone loved dogs as much as me, but you proved me wrong. You will surely be missed by me and so many others, especially all the many animals you so kindly cared for as your own. I love you, i know you are up there spreading kindness as you always had done. To only see you in that kilt you loved so dearly, with that smirky smile of yours, cracking jokes. I miss you already. Thank you for impacting my life for the better. Whenever I am around animals i promise to strive to treat them with the compassion you once showed unto them.
Shawna Gustad says
My dear Haycock family
I loved working with Tyson at Reynolds. He always was a happy, cheerful young man. He was excited to serve his mission. He was nervous, but I believe that in that short time he was a example to all those around him. We will miss him.
I loved to see him at church his testimony was strong.
Jeff and I will always remember you from the ward party the marshmallow man
My deepest condolences to the family. We love all of you

Elder Haycock and Family.
There’s a saying that you will come to understand, you can leave your mission, but you’ll never leave the Res.
I served 20 years ago on the Res. The people of the Res will miss your son as they have accepted him as one of their own.. As you will. But as you know and understand the principles of the gospel. You will find that will bring you the comfort when you need it.
May the Lord send you His comfort.

We live in Firth Idaho and we send our deepest sympathy to you as a family. He sounds like a wonderful young man. The Lord loves him and his family. Eldon and Joanne Morrell

Dear Haycock family
I was shocked and saddened to hear the awful news of Tyson’s passing. What a shock! I am so sorry for you all. I can’t even imagine losing a child, especially a young man such as Tyson. I so enjoyed having him in class (as I have enjoyed Natalie and Caiden). His charm and personality will be sorely missed.
I hope that in time, your sorrow over his tragic loss will be replaced by your memories of him. My heart goes out to you-form one mother to another.
“May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.” https://www.stjosephsprepschool.co.uk ›

The Elders stopped by our shop the day he arrived in Ramah to introduce Elder Haycock to us. He was so excited to start his mission. He had two great Elders to get him started. He told us he was nervous. We assured him he had the best to help him !
They spent a lot of time at our shop.
He talked about his family and hunting.
The day before they were at with us I told them I loved them like by son’s. They came by for a minute Thursday to drop off a tote for Elder Housley we were delivering to Idaho.
We will miss them so much. And they will be in our hearts forever.
Our sincere condolences to you all.

Haycock family I want you to know that Elder Haycock was such a fine young man. He will be so missed in Ramah. Our community is so devastated over the tragic loss of this precious elder. The last time I talked to him was at church after choir practice where he was so gracious along with Elder Davis and Elder Berrett to join our choir to help us out for the pioneer day Sacrament we were holding a week later. After practice before church started I was visiting with him and we were talking about our Scottish ancestry. He told me he really would like to be able to wear his Kilt on his mission, but he couldn’t here. I told him that it would be nice if he could have but maybe the elders that went to Scotland were able to. He told me he was very proud of his Scottish ancestry and we laughed and joked a little more about it. I truly believe our Heavenly Father needed him on the other side along with Elder Davis. I believe they are continuing their mission over there. Our deepest prayers go out to the Haycock family and know we share in your heartbreak at this time. You are such a fine family I can tell by your son’s great example and his smile and caring attitude to all he met.Thank you for sharing him with the Ramah community for a time. Trust in the healing love of our Savior at this difficult time in your lives. Thank you for the beautiful picture tribute and I loved that you had him in his Kilt on a few of them because talking to him he loved wearing it. Again, it was an honor to have known your son for a time, and again take comfort that he is with our Savior and you will be with him again.

My heart is saddened by the news of Tyson passing to eternity and the other young man. I just found out the 30th of july..today. Tyson was an extraordinary a d wonderful young man the last time o saw him he was helping his mom at a dear ones funeral at a luncheon. I remember giving him and his mom a hug. He was so excited about BYU and talked of his missionaries vision. My prayers are with you all. Dustin and Jessica and family. My heart is broke but I know his faithful love towards God and others. He was 20 . Yet he made s beautiful impression on others that we cant forget.

May your faith, friends and memories comfort you in the days ahead. We cannot know why God allowed this to happen, but we know all things are in His plan for mankind.

Dustin and Jessica the depth of your pain we can not begin to know. The loss of child would be a pain unable to be treated. Tyson must have been a special young man having both of you as Parents. May you draw some comfort from memories. He will comfort you as you have comforted many. Jim and Jane Dighans
