“He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might. He increases strength. Even the youths shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40: 29-31 Tydrain mounted up with wings like eagles. Tydrain “Ty” Jaquan Huff’s blessed birthday was on October 7, 2002 and he joined the heavenly angels on December 23, 2023 at 4:54 a.m. at ECU Medical Health Center, Greenville, NC. As a baby Tydrain was a burst of energy, bubbly, full of laughter and hardly made a fuss. He was such a gentle and beautiful baby. At an early age we all knew that Tydrain could and would do anything that HE put his mind too. Tydrain attended and graduated from Riverside High School where he played basketball his entire high school years. Although Tydrain loved all sports, basketball was his favorite where he felt on top of the world. Tydrain also played AAU basketball with Elite One Ballers. Tydrain truly adored life. He loved that he was continuing his education at Shaw University, Raleigh, N.C. majoring in sports medicine. Tydrain worked for Amazon in Raleigh, N.C, and Flagstone Foods in Robersonville, N.C. He was truly trying to make his mark in this world. Tydrain was preceded in death by a very special aunt Patricia Likely. Tydrain leaves to cherish his loving memories his parents, Latonya Huff, Williamston, N.C. father, Jarvis Gladney (Diaasha) Windsor, N.C.; three sisters, Jai’leya Gladney of Durham, N.C., Zion Gladney of Ahoskie, NC, and Paris Gladney, Windsor, N.C.; grandparents, Anita Williams (Henry) of Williamston, N.C., Geneva Gladney of Windsor, N.C., Larry Gladney (Faye) of LaGrange, N.C.; bonus grandparents, Rosita Adedyoin (Hezekiah) of Philadelphia, P.A.; great grandmother, Eula Huff of Williamston, N.C.; aunts, Aja Gladney of Chesapeake, VA, Nikki Gladney of Morrisville, N.C.; uncles, David Gladney (Trecy) of Durham, N.C., Christopher Gladney of Wilmington, N.C.; Godmother, Treesa Brown (Gemond) of Winterville, N.C.; a very special person in his life, Derrell Atkins of Williamston, N.C; two bonus aunts, Sheneka Willoughby and Michele Spruill both of Greenville, N.C.; a host of cousins, relatives and friends who loved him dearly. When we all think of Tydrain, do not think of his death, but think of his life. He was so full of love, warmth, giving spirit, mild-mannered but “confident” and mainly a man who would give you the shirt off his back. Tydrain GOD had and has your back. It’s not in how we die, but in how we live and Tydrain truly did live his life to the fullest. Now strut around God’s kingdom Tydrain---HE needed you more. Lovingly his mother and family
