Kay & I want to thank each of you for your support during the sad loss of our son, Ty (48), who passed away on 25th of Aug, my birthday.  Ty had been working in OR, got where he couldn't breathe well, drove home on Aug 15th. Went to Dr next day, was in intensive care 9 days where he succumbed from congestive heart failure.  Kay & I were with Ty until the end. Ty asked to be cremated and his ashes scattered in some of his favorite places. 

Ty loved to hunt and fish, never liked a crowd, so we have following his wishes with small gatherings of family & friends to scatter his ashes in a beautiful stream on his property in Arkansas (Aug 29), Toledo Bend Lake where he made many fishing trips (Sep 19) and my LA homestead which has been in family for 179 years (Oct 10).

Thanks again for your prayers and support for my family as we struggle through this hard time.  Ty is probably hunting in Heaven right now and is mad because God won't let him shot anything there.  HA 

May God bless Ty, our family and each of you.
Jon & Kay McKinnie
