It is with great sorrow that the family of Tanley Nicole Yacos announce her unexpected and tragic passing from this world on March 26, 2016, in Buda, Texas.
Tanley Yacos was born on June 7, 2002 in Mount Clemens, Michigan. She loved her family, regarding her big sister Bryce, little brother Ben, and cousin Ani as her best friends. Tanley is survived by her parents Alice Roe-Simpson and Donald Yacos; Brian Simpson; siblings Erin, Casey, Bryce, Madison, Ben, Levi and Britney; step-sisters Stephanie and Heather; grandparents Fred and Gloria Kritzman (maternal), Yvonne Roe and Jodie Bates. She is preceded in death by her grandfather Charles Roe. Coming from a large family Tanley will be missed by many aunts, uncles and cousins who she loved her very much and will always hold her close to their hearts. Tanley was a talented artist, writer, and singer. Being a Michigan native, Tanley shared a love for swimming and snowboarding with her family. She recently discovered a great joy in longboarding while living in Texas. Tanley had a deep love for animals, especially her great and wonderful three-legged dog Cappie (02/14/2014-02/09/2016). Her love for animals was so great, she became a vegetarian in 2015. She will always be remembered as a loving daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, and friend, as well as sweet, fun, smart, hilarious, and witty. Tanley will be missed by those who knew and loved her.
Tanley spent her last day in this world with her family and a friend swimming in the creek, playing Xbox, and eating Panda Express.
Words cannot express our gratitude to our extended family, community and friends, both near and far, for their unbelievable support, both emotional and financial at this most tragic time in our lives. A life celebration was held on April 2 at the Painted Horse Pavillion.
“Looking deeply you do not see a real date of birth and you do not see a real date of death for the cloud. All that happens is that the cloud transforms into rain or snow. There is no real death because there is always a continuation. A cloud continues the ocean, the river, and the heat of the sun and the rain continues the cloud.”
Think of our baby girl when the Texas bluebonnets bloom and the wildflowers rage.
