  TYCHICUS in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)
The apostle writes to Titus, who was in Crete in charge of the churches there, that he intended to send either Artemas or Tychicus to him, so as to take the oversight of the work of the gospel in that island, that Titus might be free to come to be with the apostle at Nicopolis.
It is possible that Tychicus is the brother referred to in 2 Cor 8:22,23 as one "whom we have many times proved earnest in many things....

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Tychicus
He shared the Apostle's first Roman captivity and was sent to Asia as the bearer of letters to the Colossians and Ephesians (Ephesians 6:21; Colossians 4:7, 8).
It seems, however, that Artemas was sent, for during the second captivity of St. Paul at Rome Tychicus was sent thence to Ephesus (2 Timothy 4:12).
Of the subsequent career of Tychicus nothing certain is known.
