Biography

He enjoyed spending his time watching Chicago Cubs baseball and training for marathons. In his lifetime, he completed the New York, Boston, Chicago, and Hawaii marathons though his greatest passion was his dogs. He loved spending time with them and would always go out of his way to save an animal. He was a devout fiancé to Erika Rosas for 16 years and a loving uncle to his niece and nephews, Izel Bella, Kai Teo, and Dimitri Alexander. Commander Lyman was a good man and is greatly missed.
