Tychicus, like Paul, and like the saints that had gone on before him, was faithful, trustworthy, diligent, honest, a man of integrity, not a lover of money, not a drunkard, and so one. He was all of those things, and he strived to be better in all of those things to fulfill our chief end, which is to glorify God.
