Tyler Payne loved playing with his trucks, watching Scooby-Doo, and spending time cooking with his mom, Jamie. He was a devoted big brother who always looked out for his little sister, Ariana. Ariana was full of life—outgoing and creative. She loved to color, dress up, and pair her favorite baseball cap with every outfit.

This episode explores the heartbreaking story of Tyler and Ariana Payne, two siblings whose love for life and each other was cut tragically short.

Join us as we delve into their story, celebrating their memories and uncovering the events that changed everything.
