Tyson Jace LaClaire was born on May 6, 1992 at I.H.S. Hospital in Eagle Butte to Daren Sr. and Germaine (Marrowbone) LaClaire. Tyson attended Headstart in Cherry Creek and grade school at Takini, graduating in 2011. While attended Takini, Tyson participated in track, basketball and attended the Gear Up program. One of Tyson’s fondest memories was his senior trip to Disneyland in California. In 2009, his pride and joy came into his life, a beautiful baby girl, Ma’Teyah Essie Lalynn. He loved her with all his heart and was a great father to her.
After graduating, Tyson moved to Rapid City and began working at Boston’s Restaurant along with his brother, Vincent. He also worked for Taco Bell and McDonald’s. While living in Rapid City, he made numerous friends that he became close to.
When Tyson was young, his Grandpa Leroy gave him the nick name, “Ti blo”. He, along with his older brothers, enjoyed spending time with Grandpa Leroy. He enjoyed throwing horseshoes, spending time with family and friends, and shooting prairie dogs with his dad and brothers. He also helped take care of his nieces and nephews. His one and only favorite NBA team was the Chicago Bulls.
Tyson missed his “twin” brother Vincent, as they were very close.

We’re so sorry to hear about your loss. At Ecclesiastes 9:11,12 , it states,"I have seen something further under the sun,…because time and unexpected events overtake them all. For man does not know his time….when it suddenly overtakes them." At John 11:25, Jesus said …"I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." May these scriptures give you hope and comfort as they did our family. May God be your strength in the days to come. JR
While words fail to capture the pain of losing a loved one. We look forward to the time when words will fail to capture the joy of having our Heavenly Father return your loved one to you because he cares for you. (John 5:28-29; 1 Peter 5:7).
RIP Tyson… Krazy we were chilling last time u were in Rapid. Have a safe journey in the spirit world. Condolences to your family💛
My heartfelt condolences on your tragic loss. May you find some solace for the words of Revelation 21:4 during this time of grief. Soon death will be no more.
