We initially intended to hold this event on or around November 21st. However, as a family, we've chosen to honor him around his birthday, January 16th. Please stay tuned for more details on the location where we will be releasing balloons in memory of my brother, Tyre. November 21st will mark a year since his passing, and January 16, 2025 will be the first birthday after the year anniversary of his passing. While grief is a deeply personal and unique experience for each person, it’s important to honor our loved ones in ways that reflect who they were and the legacies they left behind.
Tyre and I often talked about his dreams and business aspirations. One of his goals was to monetize his art—he wanted to see his creativity in the hands of people, a part of everyday life, something that could inspire and make a mark. He was passionate about getting his artwork out to the world, and as we both shared a heart for business, we dreamed of making that happen together.
While grief has many expressions, we know that family and loved ones don’t always agree on how to honor someone. Grief takes different forms, and everyone has their own way of processing loss. This effort, through “Beloved Plus”, to produce clothing and custom items featuring Tyre’s art is one way I’m choosing to honor him. It’s a way to carry forward the vision we talked about and give life to his creative expression in a way that can inspire others, just as he always wanted.
One of the last conversations Tyre and I had before his passing last November, was about “Beloved Plus”. He acknowledged the brand as a powerful way to take his art forward and ensure his legacy of creativity would live on. This conversation was confirmation for me that this was the path to take—to incorporate him into the collective mission behind “Beloved Plus”. Together, we aimed to use the brand to inspire others, honor faith, and celebrate creativity.
In light of this, I would love to see those who want to honor Tyre join us at the balloon release wearing shoes and clothing that reflect his art. It would be a powerful tribute to see his vision worn and appreciated by those who loved him.
We are currently offering custom-made sneakers and hoodies featuring Tyre’s art through “Beloved Plus”. Since these items take time to produce, I encourage you to order now so that you can have them in time for the balloon release. For family members, I’m happy to offer discounted rates or wholesale prices—just inbox me directly, and we can work together to place your order.
Let’s come together not only to grieve but to celebrate the incredible creativity and vision Tyre had for his life. Shop here to support and honor him: Love Shop
Thank you for being a part of this journey and helping us keep Tyre’s dream alive. His art, his passion, and his life’s work are now a part of the mission behind “Beloved Plus”. I look forward to seeing how his vision continues to inspire those who knew him and those who will get to know him through his art.
With love and gratitude,
Audrell
