- On February 7, 2026, we lost our grandson, Talon Michael Wayne Whinery. A heartbreaking accident claimed his life after he fell through thin ice on Bird Creek near Avant, Oklahoma. His grandpa and his uncle found him, pulled him out of Bird Creek, and immediately began CPR, but our baby boy was not responsive and was pronounced dead at the scene. Our hearts are shattered and it feels unreal... Please help us give him a beautiful procession and a celebration of his life. Anything will help us through this heartbreaking accident... RIP our loving baby boy, Talon Michael Wayne Whinery...
