“Its so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shown”
-John Steinbeck

Ty began his life on November 22, 1985, in Slidell, Louisiana. From a young age he had a kind and loving spirit, often caring for other children. He attended the United Nations International school in New York City and graduated from South Brunswick High School in North Carolina. An adventurer at heart, he lived several places but called the Pacific Northwest home.

Loved by many and a friend to all; he would always greet you with a smile on his face and a joke on his lips, regularly going out of his way to brighten someone’s day. There was nothing he enjoyed more than a conversation with a loved one.

Ty spent his time cooking for those he loved, cheering for the Saints, absorbing useless information, discovering new music, caring for animals, and eating Claussen’s pickles.

His children and nephew were the pride and joy of his life; the legacy of his kind spirit, passion for music and art, love of nature, and zest for life will live on through them.

He is survived by his son Dane Malone, 14; daughter Shayla Delbaum, 10; and siblings Shane Bornstein, Ashley Bornstein, and Joseph Malone.

Ty has reunited with his loved ones: Steven Todd Hutchens, Milton S. Heffler, and Charles P. Sniffin III. 

A celebration of life will be held for Ty on Saturday, August 20th, in Concord, NC. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the United Nations International School (www.unis.org) in memory of Ty.

“When he shall die take him and cut him out in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun”
-William Shakespeare
