Mr. Jamarreo Tyrone Lykes, 29, of Tuscaloosa, formerly of Atmore, entered his eternal home on Oct. 3, 2019, as a result of a house fire.

A native of Atmore, Jamarreo had resided in Tuscaloosa for most of his life. He graduated in 2009 from Holt High School. He was employed with Wendy’s Restaurant for 12 years, where he had worked his way up from crew member, to manager, to his present position of general manager.
