Traycen Swinney

I had Traycen in my English class this semester. He was always smiling. I loved passing him in the hall during my plan period and the little jokes we would say like, “Fancy meeting you here.” I am truly saddened by the loss of Traycen. Your family continue to be in my prayers.

I am the clerical aide/lunch monitor at TMS, I’m just at a loss for words. Traycen was always nice and respectful. He had a sweet smile and the kindest eyes. I will truly miss seeing him. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Traycen was always a sweet kid and a joy to be around. It was amazing to see how much he loved hanging out with his Dad and singing karaoke. My heart goes out to TJ and Katrina, his sisters and the rest of his family, you are all in my prayers.

Traycen was my friend. I cried for hours after I heard. Traycen had troubles that he talked with me about. He cared, he was very sympathetic when it came to others. I hope he isn’t troubled anymore and is happier. He will always be in my heart and memory.

I wish I talked to him more. I hope he’s happier now. Rest in peace, Traycen.

I did not know Traycen, but having kids of my own around this age it hits hard. My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family during this difficult time. I cannot imagine how hard this is, but know he will be missed and his memories will live on forever. May you RIP Traycen!

I haven’t known Traycen for long but he was a really great friend to me. He had sat with me all night when I was upset. We cried together. We would talk for hours and play video games. We would call each other besties and just laugh together. It really hurts to know he’s gone. I loved him like a best friend. Fly high tray. I love you bestie.

Traycen and I have been friends for about six years and he was one of my closest friends and was like a brother to me and Aydin Jacobs and he never failed to make us laugh nor smile he was always my light in our friendship and was always their for me I wish I could attend but I live to far away but I’m sending love and prayers your way and I hope your wounds can heal he left a mark on my life that I will carry on forever and he will be remembered and missed

It’s so devastating what happened and I could never forget you I know we didn’t talk at the end and I’m so sorry for that and I regret not sending you a text the night it happened and checking up on you where the most kindhearted boy that i’ve ever met you didn’t care what someone looked like or how the way the spoke you loved them for who they where and we’ve had the greatest laughs together and you always shared how you where gonna play football the next season and how excited you where me and marydel cherished you’re soul and I’m sorry it had to end that way you always talked about you’re friends and how much you’ve missed them and how you enjoyed you’re spring break and how excited you where to go back and see you’re teachers and the staff members everyone loved you and you where the best partner that I’ve ever had you loved me for me not what I looked like just my personality you made everyone around you very comfortable and you made us open up with our feelings and asking how our day was and what was on our mind you made hours feel like seconds time passed by so fast because taking to you felt like we where talking for years and we would be on the phone for 10+ hours and it felt like 10 minutes we slept on the phone together shared our secrets and things we regretted doing and things that where the highlight on our life I can go on and on how great and amazing you where I just wanna send my condolences to the family and friends…….. love you tray – Taryn Valentin🕊

I’m Traycen’s older brother, previously known as his older sister, Kiley. We used to rough house and play video games together while we were growing up. A little while after our parents breakup, he decided to go back living with his dad. He would come to visit me and mom a couple of times. The last time I saw him in person was for Christmas break when we visited New Mexico. He had talked about being depressed and having guilt from an event he had went through during a visit, and I tried to help him out by relating to his experiences and letting him talk about he was feeling. The last time I ever got to talk to him was when he called to talk about the fight he had in school. He even sent a video showing off how he beat up the kid. My moms side of the family had our own little service on Saturday, where we watched a video of photos of him growing, and then went to a park and set out balloons to fly across the sky. I really miss my little brother. I just hope that his eternal rest is peaceful.

RIP- little bro.

Thinking about you a little extra today. We were never really that close but you were always so kind and respectful. I wish I could’ve done more to help, but he is in a better place now. R.I.P.

Tray was a very good friend to me and we were on the same wrestling team and he was amazing at it. he was my first ever friend and he opened his arms up to me and I’m glad he did. if it wasn’t for Tray I wouldn’t be who I am today. I think about him everyday left wondering what he’s up to. I loved Traycen with all my heart as a friend and more and I still do, I always will. It breaks me to even think about all of this. His voice I still remember his hugs everything about him is a memory and I will never forget him he will always be remembered. I know he is watching over all of us.

Rest in piece
