On September 20,1980, a healthy baby boy was born to Trevia Johnson (Kenneth Johnson Sr.) and Robert Young in Beaumont, Texas. They lovingly named him Tyrrell Damond Portley, but his family and friends affectionately called him "T.P." He grew up in the Pear Orchard
Neighborhood. Tyrrell attended West Brook High school and received great recognition in several sports.

With the blessing of being raised in a loving Christian home, Tyrrell accepted Christ at an early age. He was Christened at Our Mother of Mercy Catholic church where he served as an
altar boy.

As a youth and young man, Tyrrell spent majority of his time participating in a plethora of sports and many other activities, mainly basketball and football. At West Brook High School, he held the highest yardage in a single game for several years before it was broken .

In 2003, Tyrrell had a son and named him Elijah David Portley.

Tyrrell worked as a correctional officer at W.F. Ramsey Unit in Rosharon, TX until his health began to decline. With all the issues he faced, he could not be stopped. "T.P." was a fighter and he fought a good fight. On May 5, 2024, Tyrrell Damond Portley departed this life.
