Hunter McGrady has revealed her 23-year-old brother Tynan has died in an accident while paying tribute to her younger sibling, saying he ‘went to be with the Lord.’
The plus-size model, who is pregnant with her first child, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a heartbreaking post announcing that her younger brother had passed away over the weekend.
‘The most gut wrenching words I’ve ever had to write in my life, one that no one ever wants to. My chest is heavy and I feel like I’ll never breathe again, I don’t know how this pain repairs or if it ever feels like life can live again. My baby brother went to be with the Lord on May 1st,’ Hunter, 28, wrote.

Little brother: The plus-size model said Tynan will always be the love of her life as she opened up about how beloved he was by everyone he met
The mom-to-be called Tynan ‘the most kind, gentle, loving, beautiful, intelligent, funny human being this earth has ever known.’
‘If you know me you know I rave about my brother, he is and will always be the love of my life,’ she said. ‘I would text my brother every single night the words “Goodnight I love you [heart emoji” because I never wanted a day to go by without him knowing how much I love and adore him.’
Hunter shared a screenshot of the messages she sent her brother as well as pictures of them together. In one picture, they are posing together at her 2019 wedding to Brian Keys. Another shows them together as children.
‘Every one around him has always said nothing but beautiful things, his friends’ parents always said “we’re so glad Tynan is in our child’s life, he’s such a good influence,”‘ she recalled.
Looking back: Hunter thanked Tynan for making her a ‘big sister’ in the emotional tribute
Tynan was a senior at San Francisco State University when he passed away, and was supposed to graduate this month.
‘He was absolutely brilliant, just three weeks shy of graduating SFSU with a computer engineering degree. He will get that degree, we will make sure of it, he worked too hard not to,’ Hunter insisted.
‘I’ve never known someone to be so passionate about computer engineering, coding, cars, and gaming. He was knowledgeable about this stuff beyond belief, he would show me his homework and I felt like Einstein was showing me something.’
Hunter didn’t share how her brother died in the post, though she made reference to an accident.
‘There is no telling why these things happen, why accidents happen, why life is taken too short. I’m so grateful for beautiful the 23 years God gave us with him,’ she said. ‘I know we will meet again because the Bible says so.’
Hunter then shared the Bible verse Revelation 21:4: ‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.’
She concluded her post by thanking her brother for the joy he brought to her life, writing: ‘Thank you for making me a big sister. Thank you for your heart. Goodnight my sweet beautiful Bubba, I love you.’
