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:
“The pursuit of Fashion is the attempt of the middle class to co-opt tragedy. In adopting the clothing, speech, and personal habits of those in straitened, dangerous, or pitiful circumstances, the middle class seeks to have what it feels to be the exigent and nonequivocal experiences had by those it emulates.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“Whenever [Leonard Bernstein] entered or exited a country he would fill in on his passport form not composer or conductor, but musician. Of course people in the press spent a lot of Lenny’s life telling him what he should have done; he should have been a concert pianist, he should have composed more.... And people wouldn’t let him live his own life. But he created his own career, in his own image.”
—John Mauceri (b. 1945)
