Tykee, you were God's gift and you touched my heart in a special way; a beautiful soul with your beautiful smile I will never forget you. My deepest condolences to the family; my continued prayers that God will always give you tears of joy and not sorrow. We love you! The Wheeler family❤️

Sending my deepest sympathy to Willene and Carlos on the passing of your beautiful daughter. May God cover and protect you and your family during your time of bereavement. ~ Ingrid Bell & Family

Tykee was an integral part of the senior BSW cohort. She was always present with an ear-to-ear smile, kind, genuine, sweet, gentle, helpful, honest, funny, driven, and down to business, a young woman she was but a child at heart. She was all heart though all 95 pounds of her. She was one in a million and we are all blessed to have been part of her much too short of a life. Heaven definitely gained a superior angel Monday morning. She is there now interviewing the flock with her social work skills and telling them all about how special everyone was to her but knowing how special she was to all of us she left on this earth. God bless her wonderful family especially. - Ms. Penny

Cherry and I send our prayers and condolences. Tykee was an amazing young lady. We speak peace over your family during this trying time Carlos and Willeen. Love Cherry and Frank Carter

Sleep on Tykee until we meet again on the other side!!

Tykee was a beautiful woman inside and out. Any room she was in she would make people laugh no matter the situation. I was lucky enough to work with her at Chick-fil-A. She was intelligent, resilient, funny and so much more. My deep condolences to her family. Heaven truly gained an angel with Tykee.

Fly high little cousin. I love you so much! Thank you for loving me and my boys! I will miss you being my Gemini twin. Until I see you again.

There aren't any words to express the emotions of this loss. I can say that Tykee had a very sweet spirit and beautiful soul. Her infectious smile will be missed. My sincerest condolences to Carlos, Willene, Sweetie and Lori.

Sorry for your loss. She was a sweet young lady that I had the pleasure of being her Admissions Representative at Virginia College Augusta and being a part of Victory Word of Faith Church family.

I was lucky enough to work with Tykee at Chick-fil-A for several years and she was such a breath of fresh air. I am so sad to hear of this news. Thankful for the sweet memories made with her!
