Both Kelsie and Ryan have shared social media posts regarding their daughter’s death.
Oaklynn’s memorial will be held on Thursday, Feb. 26, in Dublin, Texas, with a graveside service on Friday, Feb. 27, in Cherokee, Okla.
“Oaklynn packed a lot in her short time with us,” her obituary read. “Traveling the rodeo circuit all over the U.S., hitting the practice pen with mom and dad, and loving her family with all her heart.”
“She loved frogs, horses, everybody’s puppies, going to ‘yodeos,’ and hanging out with all her friends. She did not know a stranger and lit up the room the minute she made her grand entrance,” her obituary added.
Company Simply Equine & K9 was among those paying tribute to Oaklynn on social media. Kelsie has been a team member there for years, according to the company’s website.
“Our hearts are shattered beyond words,” the company shared alongside an Instagram montage showing Oaklynn with animals and her family.
“Sweet Oaklynn gained her angel wings far too soon. Please continue praying for Kelsie, Ryan, her family and everyone that loved this precious soul,” their caption added.
Kelsie also reposted a tribute from rancher and roper Haley Sage Wright saying that their family had their “pink on for Oaklynn !!”
“Pink in honor of the toughest little cowgirl,” Haley added, alongside an angel wing and white love heart emoji.
