Francis James Tyman, aged 78, passed away peacefully on March 19, 2026, surrounded by his family.  Frank was a devoted husband, loving father of five children, and proud grandfather of eight.

He was born in Winthrop, MA on July 25, 1947 and was a graduate of Everett High School and Emerson College.  Frank spent his adult life living in Revere where he met his wife Anne and where they raised their family. Frank was known for his perfectly styled dark brown hair, expertly trimmed mustache, and t-shirts emblazoned with the faces of his grandchildren.  He had the deep voice of a radio DJ and the good looks of a TV news anchor.   Endlessly kind and patient, he was a long-time youth baseball and basketball coach.  Frank was a member and past president of Everett's E-Club.  He was an enthusiastic sports fan and always rooted for his hometown teams.  Frank was outgoing and a terrific listener, a loyal friend, and history buff.  He enjoyed reading the Boston Globe, listening to music (especially Motown hits), watching Jeopardy, and keeping in touch with his family and friends.

Frank is survived by his wife of 52 years, Anne Walsh Tyman; his brother James Tyman (Joyce); his sons Sean Tyman (Amanda), Mike Tyman (Tania), and Brendan Tyman; daughters Kerri Obstein (Keith) and Kristin Brawn (Ryan); eight grandchildren; and many cousins, in-laws, nieces, and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Mary Tyman.
