Ty Brasel, born, Tyler Alan Brasel, was the third child born of four siblings to Jill Patton and Tim Brasel. Although he was born in the great city of Memphis, the danger of inner city violence forced his parents to reside in a city with a lower crime rate, the city of Olive Branch, MS. While growing up, Ty was always known to be the class clown and the troublemaker, the one who would get you in trouble and then make you laugh about it. He was attracted to attention and loved a chance at being in the spotlight.
