Noah Tyson

William Noah Tyson, passed away unexpectedly on January 29, 2025, at the age of 43, in Florence, SC. Born on January 13, 1982, Noah was known for his vibrant spirit, warmth, and genuine interest in the lives of others.

A 2000 graduate of Mayo Magnet School, Noah forged a successful career as a welder in the maintenance industry, where he worked at Superior Machine, then Frazier. He was presently proud to be part of the Coca-Cola family in Bishopville for the last 10 plus years. His craftsmanship and work ethic left a lasting impression on colleagues and friends alike.

Noah's zest for life was infectious. He cherished engaging conversations, often finding joy in learning about the experiences and stories of those around him. An avid lover of music, Noah and Gretchen went to numerous music festivals, relishing performances from an incredible array of bands, including Hootie, Korn, and Blues Traveler. Wherever he stayed, a jacuzzi was a plus! He had a special fondness for the mountains, often relaxing on porches while soaking in the views and enjoying the tranquility of a jacuzzi. The beach was another of Noah's cherished retreats, where he could unwind with the sound of crashing waves, and of course, enjoy the jacuzzi!

Recently, Noah embraced a fitness journey that brought him great joy, as he discovered a newfound passion for weightlifting. He savored the little things in life, whether it was sipping an iced coffee from Starbucks or indulging in a perfect steak with a baked potato. Noah also enjoyed playing pool.

Noah is survived by his loving wife, Gretchen McInville, his brother Clem (Erika) Coleman and their children: Evan, Ashley and Victoria; cousin, Jonathan Carter and his daughter Elizabeth and his aunt, Louigene (Kenny) Hodges.
