Remembering Pat Tyson

Officers, Uncategorized /

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the untimely loss of our Region’s Vice-President, Pat Tyson. Pat was a beloved and crucial member of our organization, and our deepest sympathies are with his wife of 51 years, Charlotte, and his entire family.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, August 10th, at 2PM, at the Munden Funeral Home & Crematory, 2112 Arendell St, Morehead City, NC 28557

Pat’s obituary (Patrick John Tyson Obituary 2024 – Munden Funeral Home) reads as follows:

Patrick John Tyson

April 28, 1953 — August 5, 2024

Morehead City

Patrick John Tyson, 71, of Morehead City, North Carolina, passed away on Monday, August 5, 2024, at ECU Health Medical Center in Greenville.

A memorial service to honor Patrick’s life will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, August 10th at Munden Funeral Home. For those unable to attend, the service can be viewed through his obituary page on Munden Funeral Home’s website. The service will remain on the Funeral Home website for 90 days.

Patrick was born on April 28, 1953, in Richmond, Virginia, to the late Norton and Monique Tyson. Patrick’s passion for knowledge led him to pursue higher education at Kenan-Flagler Business School, UNC-Chapel Hill, where he earned his Master of Business Administration. His dedication and hard work paved the way for a successful career in the property management field.

Patrick’s life was intertwined with a remarkable love story as he married his high school sweetheart, Charlotte; they shared 51 wonderful years of marriage filled with travel and adventure. Their journeys took them to over 25 countries worldwide where they embraced new and exciting experiences. Patrick particularly loved scuba diving and boating. They both loved taking pictures and collecting memories from all of their vast and amazing adventures.

Throughout their lives together, Patrick and Charlotte lived in various places including West Virginia and Washington DC before settling in Raleigh, NC for 35 years. In 2018, they made Morehead City, NC their home. Patrick actively participated in the Morehead City Chapter of the Antique Automobile Club of America where he continued to serve his third term as President; he was recently elected as Vice President of the statewide organization. Additionally, he contributed to his community by serving as the Architectural Committee Chairman for the Brandywine Homeowner’s Association.

Patrick was a strong supporter of the Oxford Houses of North Carolina, demonstrating his commitment to aiding individuals recovering from substance abuse issues or reentering society from post-treatment programs or correctional facilities. 

His various hobbies included his beloved car collection which ranged from a vintage 1960 Triumph TR3A to a modern 2020 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Red Eye wide-body. Patrick had an eye for capturing special moments through photography with his extensive camera collection and sharing those photos with friends. He held a particular fascination for watches. He delighted in wearing and displaying them.

Patrick will be remembered not only for his professional achievements but also for his unwavering dedication to his beloved wife, community involvement, and passion for life. His memory will live on in the hearts of all those who had the privilege of knowing him.

Those remaining to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 51 years, Charlotte Ann Tyson; sister, Evelyn Felts of Kent, England; and aunt, Catherine Tyson of Mattaponi, VA.

As an expression of sympathy, flowers are welcome or memorial contributions may be made to The Oxford Houses of North Carolina, 9016 Mustard Seed Lane, Garner, NC 27529

 Family and friends are welcome to submit online condolences.

Arrangements by Munden Funeral Home & Crematory in Morehead City, NC.”
