Talyne Bitner, the son of Phil and Michelle Kuykendall Bitner, was raised in Granbury alongside his sister, Bailey.
He was a beloved son, father, and friend from Granbury, Texas. He is remembered for the light he brought to the lives of those who knew him.
Michelle shared the tragic news of Talyne’s passing on social media.
While the family’s hearts are shattered, they find comfort in their faith, believing Talyne is now at peace and forever held in God’s loving arms.
Talyne was a proud father to his young son and was in a relationship with Meagan Ordaz, often sharing moments of his personal life and family online.
Talyne, we will miss you more than you know, my brother. Rest easy and with peace. Your legacy is far from finished. Watch over us and always be with us, my brother. Until we see you again. 🤙🏽
Jesse HernandezThe Bitner family invited friends and community members to a celebration of his life on Monday, December 15, at their home on Peak Road.
They offered a gathering to share memories throughout the afternoon, culminating in a sunset memorial bonfire at 5:00 PM, which was Talyne’s favorite time of day.
Blessedly, it seems there may be a larger gathering than anticipated, so please bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit around the fire…our circle of life…our life line…our reason to keep putting one step in front of the other💔.
We are grateful for your love, your prayers, and your presence as we honor our beautiful Boo boy.
The former footballer was deeply loved, and he will be deeply missed.
Rest In Peace, Talyne Bitner.
