Thank you for showing what the true meaning of courage, unselfish love and a faithful spirit look like! It's YOUR time now to soar with the eagles without any more pain...just pure joy! You have certainly earned your angel wings!

God bless you and God bless your mom, dad and sister. For only 5 years on this earth, you have given them a lifetime of memories. Rest in peace sweet cowboy!

Tynan, you were such a sweet boy from the time I met you. My daughter Valerie played softball with Sykora on the Wildcats and that's when I first saw your precious face. I'll never forget that day because you were wearing shorts, a tshirt and of course, your cowboy boots! I thought you were simply adorable. You would cheer for your sis and run around the park. Thank you for touching our hearts Tynan! I'm so glad I got to meet such a strong, courageous cowboy. Heaven now has another beautiful angel. I pray that God will comfort and give peace to your mom, dad, and sis Sykora.

RIP Little Cowboy!! You will truly be missed but we know that you have no more pain and are flying high. You were such an inspiration to so many and will always be in our hearts.

Love,
Sonny, Rebecca, Olivia, Caleb, and Brianna

Although we never met, you were an inspiration to my family. We often talked about the your love of rodeo, and of the Astros. We thought it was so amazing how someone so young could love something so big. It always put a smile on our faces. We prayed for healing, we prayed for understanding, we still pray for those things for your brave sissy, for your mommy and daddy, and your family. I hope your roping and riding with Lane..you will be missed.

To the Chapa and Vera families:

Thank you for sharing Tynan's story, I know there will never be a day that goes by that you do not miss him and think of him. I pray you all find some peace in time, and comfort in memories. You will always be in our hearts and thoughts.

Tynan,
You are by far the best babysitter that "Beans" will ever have. We are so thankful that we got to have you in our lives, you taught us what being a true cowboy is all about. We miss you more than words can say..

Greg, Kerry, and Beans

My family became friends with the Chapa's through our daughters. It was such a coincidence to find out our sons were the same age as well. Once the boys met, Beckett just wanted to be near Tynan. Tynan was shy so Beckett would just invite himself to sit next to him and follow Tynan and his daddy wherever they would go. It used to make me laugh when Tynan was around, Beckett never even looked back to make sure I was still there. By the end of the girls' softball season- Beckett and Tynan would be running around the softball park by themselves playing an they enjoyed being team mates on their tball team. Beckett had his first sleepover at Tynan's when they were only 4 years old. Tynan taught Beckett to love bull riding and now Daddy has to play the part of the bull quite often. Tynan, you were such a precious, sweet and loving boy. My family has forever been changed because we knew you. You have brought my family closer to God and cemented our faith. We love you Tynan and will always hold fond memories of you and your contagious giggle! I could hear that from the other room and I would always ask your Momma- "Who is that?" she would laugh and say "Tynan" and it would make me giggle.
Janie and Harry my deepest sympathy to both of you! I know this is a hard battle you are now enduring without your precious boy, but please know the love that surrounded Tynan over the past year is still here surrounding the both of you.
Lots of love
James, Renee, Abby, Riann and Beckett Swinney

Oh little partner, you have been and will always be a huge part of my life - I miss you so much and just want to hear your laugh again but I am so glad you are no longer feeling any pain and riding the big bulls with your great buddies. You will always be my "class clown"!. Tell Grandma Chapa I said "Hi" and "I love her".

Tia Norma loves you buddy ... Mucho Mucho!

I came to know Tynan and the Chapa family through Janie. I've watched this family proceed through Tynan's battle with such grace, conviction and dignity. I am so very sorry for the loss of Tynan. As a mother I cannot begin to know the sorrow. May God bless you all and take away the pain of your loss and fill your heart with memories of the great times you shared together as a family. I pray that Tynan is with his hero's in Heaven. I know that he is whole, pain free and sporting that awesome smile of his. Love to you all!!!!
