Personal Life
Tylo was born in Detroit, Michigan, the son of Margaret and Edward Tylo, a plumber. He has four children from his former marriage to Hunter Tylo: stepson Christopher 'Chris' Morehart from Hunter Tylo's first marriage to Tom Moreheart (born 22 January 1980), son Michael "Mickey" Edward II (24 April 1988, – October 18, 2007), daughter Izabella Gabrielle (12 November 96) and Katya Ariel (15 January 1998).
In 1998, his infant daughter Katya was diagnosed with a rare cancer of the eye called retinoblastoma. Doctors removed the eye and began chemotherapy, but later in the year a tumor was detected in Katya's other eye; to the amazement of her doctors, that tumor soon inexplicably disappeared. Katya recovered and wears a prosthetic right eye.
On October 18, 2007 Michael and Hunter lost their 19-year-old son Michael Tylo Jr., who accidentally drowned in the family pool in Henderson, NV. The Clark County Coroner concluded that "the cause of death was drowning due to seizure disorder," and was ruled accidental.
Michael married his long-time fiancée Rachelle on January 10, 2010. Their daughter Kollette "Koko" Tylo was born on February 7, 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“A man who has nothing which he cares about more than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the existing of better men than himself.”
—John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
