Marshall “Ty” Robert Compton (1924–2012) was a respected businessman and public servant whose contributions significantly shaped the Chula Vista community. Born in Blair, Nebraska, Ty’s early passion for aviation led him to become a Naval Aviator during World War II. After his service, he transitioned into the lumber industry, eventually relocating his family to Chula Vista in 1953.

In 1966, Ty ventured into real estate, establishing Tyco Property Management Company. In 1976, his son Mitchell joined the firm, and together they built Tyco into a cornerstone of South Bay’s property management landscape, known for its excellence in residential, commercial, and community association services.

Ty’s commitment to community extended beyond business. He served twice as President of the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce and held leadership roles within the California Association of Realtors, including State Director and Regional Vice President. In 2003, he was appointed by the City of Chula Vista as its Commissioner on the San Diego Unified Port District, reflecting his dedication to public service.

His legacy endures through the ongoing success of Tyco Property Management Company and the lasting impact of his community engagement.
