whitewitch369 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 This is Tynan's mom. It is not a secret, in fact if what I say helps one precious child, he will not have died in vain. Tynan suffered brutally from what he had to do and see in Iraq. He was diagnosed with ptsd and chose to treat it with drugs and alcohol. Not medical care. In the end, he executed himself. No other way to say it. If you know and love anybody like him, for God's sake, get them to the VA NOW. Don't let them end up like my lovely boy. Their way doesn't work, and so many people who love them are hurt. I thank God he is no longer hurting, but his family and friends hearts will never heal. oh, there are just no words except to tell you how sorry i am. my son went to iraq too and came back someone i dont even know. (not that he ever was very close to me to begin with..he shuts things out) I dont know what to do or if i can do anything to make him smile again...people just dont realize how lucky they are to have smiling, happy children do they? My heart goes out to you and your family for your tragic loss. Link to post Share on other sites

Littlevoice Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I cannot even begin to imagine the pain that this family is going through right now. There are not enough words to make it hurt any less. My heart goes out to you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Link to post Share on other sites
haley1981 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I was friends with Tynan and Wesley in school. I am so sorry for this tragedy and pray for healing in the family. Something such as this has to take it's toll and I just couldn't imagine what you all are going through. It's sad what these soldiers go through while trying to protect and give us all freedom. I hate that he had to suffer and felt he had to take this route. I will be in prayer for all of you. I am so very sorry!! Link to post Share on other sites

I was friends with Tynan in high school but haven't seen him in many years, he was a wonderful person. I am just reading about his passing and I can't tell you how my heart breaks for your loss. As a mother myself, I cannot fathom what your family is dealing with but I pray that God will hold your entire family in his arms and bring you comfort and healing.

raclay Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 My heart goes out to you and your familyand I am very sorry for your loss. My family did not know Tynan, but I want you to know that although he is no longer here and I can't tell him personally , I want to say Thank You for the time he served in our country's armed forces. It takes a brave and strong person to join to begin with and someone who is proud of his/her country and its people. He fought a valiant fight and will forver be one of America's Heros. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. Link to post Share on other sites
