Ty Mckinsie

I have known Ty Mckinsie for a long time. He was counsins with my neighbor Kody and when the Curtis family moved.. He and his parents moved in their house for a while until they sold it. He was an exceptional kid. Those of you, who never knew him, sure missed out. I'm not sure why we started hanging out.. him being 3 years younger, but my sister, Ty, Travis (his best friend), and I use to hang out there for a while. He was always funny and it was enjoyable to hang out with him. One time we all decided to sneak out and go toilet papering. Around 2 in the morning a deer ran out in front of my car and I barely missed it. I can still remember exactly how high him and Travis screamed. It sounded like two little girls. Me and my sister laughed for what seemed like hours, because it was so funny. When we were toilet papering I was so tired, Ty gave me a piggy-back ride. He was always such a sweet kid. I can still remember him smiling everyday when I would stop and give him a ride home from school, after picking my sister up. On Wednessday, June 25 Ty Mckinsie pulled the trigger and ended his life. I'm sure nobody knows the pain that he must have felt. I hadn't talked to him for atleast a year, but I will for sure miss him and I am very sad I can't attend the funeral service. Ty, you have impacted my life for the better. You don't know how great of an example you were while you were here. You were an amazing athlete and friend. You will definitly be missed by all. I hope and pray you have found happiness in the next life.
