Flowers and cards are greatly appreciated. But Flowers fade away. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you tell your family you love them. Hug someone close to you. Reach out to someone you haven’t talked to in a while. Do not take for granted a single day. Pursue your dreams. Say a prayer for strength and comfort.
The service for Sydney Jenkins will be held on Friday, March 24th at 3:00 PM at Temple Baptist Church, 4555 Arena Rd Richland, WA 99354.
Your baby will live in your heart and nothing can take that away. I hope you will be able to regain your emotional footing – I imagine this will be a tremendous struggle. Hug your son. Remember those who love and depend on you despite the emptiness which must touch the bottom of your soul. Pray. Cry. Grieve. My mother’s heart breaks for you.
I am truly heart broken to have heard that you left this earth too soon. We had spent time together years ago, but every so often you and your family would pop in my head. I’m sorry for not reaching out those times you crossed my mind…
It has been some time since I had talked with Sydney and her family. I still remember the first day I met her, spent time with her and even traveled with her family to watch her brother play baseball. I am truly sorry Christy, Allen and Cameron. She was one of the sweetest girls I had met and I’m sure that only grew as she grew and became the young woman she was. She will be missed by many.
So sorry to hear about Sydney’s passing. She was so fun to be around and her smile lit up the room. May she Rest in peace in Gods hands.
Al,
Heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Praying for you all.
Dave Smith and family

Christy and Allen,
I have just found out about Sydney’s passing and I can’t even begin to express how sorry I am that I did not get to attend her service. I loved her so very much and cherish every memory I have with her. Of course, as you know, Sydney was the life of every party. She was so silly and goofy and smart, kind, beautiful, and talented. I wish that I had reached out to her more. I wish I could have been there some more. Sydney will live forever in my heart, as I’m sure she will in many others.
You are so loved Sydney.
Syd,
You brought so much joy and laughter into my life. You were first fiend when I moved to tri and you made me feel like I belonged in the gym with you. I will always remember you as someone who brightened the room when you walked in. I am so proud of everything you brought into this world. I miss you and will never forget the moments we shared. I love you!
Sending all my thoughts and prayers to your family.

Christy~ We are so unbelievably sorry for your loss. There simply are not words. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
I don’t even know where to start, I just heard of your passing today and I am so saddened. You and Lacey were one of the first friends I ever had. I always admired you and enjoyed watching your journey in life even after we went to different high schools and went our separate ways. Prayers to your parents and Cameron, you will be missed Syd. 🤍
Rest in piece to one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Sydney was the first friend I had made in first grade at school and in gymnastics along with our friend Mackenzie. She was always the glue that held us all together. My condolences and prayers to your family.
So sorry for your loss
Keep your faith 🙏
Amaya and I had the pleasure of knowing Syd through our gymnastics family. So many great memories at meets and she was always fun to watch! Amaya and I are heartbroken, and send our deepest condolences to the family during this difficult time. Rest in Peace Syd ❤️
I am so grateful I was able to know Syd. There was never a time she didn’t make me feel loved. She was able to go into any situation with a smile on her face and full of confidence. I will never forget being welcomed into her family, playing softball, her falling asleep on my shoulder after a long day of snowboarding or practice, listening to her talk about anything and everything, and being called her friend. She was truly an incredible person and such a bright light in the world. She is gone too soon but left a unforgettable impression on everyone she met. I will never forget how amazing she was.
Our sincere condolences to you and your family. Way way to young, So sad.
Al, Christy & Cameron,

I had the privilege of knowing Sydney as a gymnast, and she always brightened the group. This is heartbreaking, and I pray for peace and comfort for the family.
No words can express our sadness nor give comfort at such a difficult time. Russ and I will always remember your big smile and feisty attitude on our volleyball team. Deepest sympathies to all who are left behind grieving such a big loss. May you find some comfort in knowing she is cared for in the arms of our Lord.
A beautiful picture of a beautiful girl whose smile lit up the room. My prayers are with Sydney and her family. There are no words to express the sorrow and sadness you feel with the loss of a young and vibrant person. May your memories bring you happiness in your heart when you think of Syd.
So very sorry for your loss
