Lidny Hayward Tyson

Born in Roehampton, Montego Bay, Jamaica, Lidny was the second-born child of Louise Tyson (deceased). His siblings included Lillian, Irene, and Carlton. Donna was Lidny’s only child—his “one daughter,” as he always called her. From Donna came his beloved grandchildren, Dante and Chantal. Lidny later migrated to New York, where he worked at and eventually retired from Queens Children’s Hospital. Afterward, he moved to McDonough, Georgia, where he spent the remainder of his life until God’s calling on the morning of July 11, 2025. In his younger years, Lidny was known for walking briskly everywhere he went. In his later years, he found joy in traveling—especially on family cruises and vacations—where he became a master scooter rider. He used his scooter both at home and while traveling, and it became a vital part of his daily life. Lidny shared an unbreakable and deeply close sibling bond with Irene and Carlton. Every third-generation child born to them knew never to take sides in their disputes. Though he never knew his biological father, Lidny was fortunate to share a father figure, Lester Hayle (recently deceased), with Irene and Carlton. Lidny had more nieces, grandnieces, nephews, and grandnephews than he had children and grandchildren. He is survived by his daughter Donna, grandchildren Dante and Chantal, and siblings Irene and Carlton. His nephews include Clinton Jr., Raymond, Seretze, and Asim; his nieces are Keisha, Amber, and Lacresha. The third generation of his family includes great-nieces Yeshika, Courtney, Leah, Sophia, Cameron, Orellia, and great-nephews Corey, Nate, Xavier, and Blake. 23 ½ Barbican Road holds deep roots in the family’s history. Every second- and third-generation family member has lived there at some point—some longer than others. Donna lived there with her grandparents for the first nine years of her life, and Lidny visited her daily after work, accompanying her to every doctor’s appointment. Lidny was not just a father, brother, friend, and son. His legacy is vast and varied, having touched many lives in meaningful ways. To everyone who visited, looked out for, and cared for my dad in his final days—your dedication and devotion will always be remembered and appreciated.
