Helping Families and Friends Honor Their Loved One

Tawny Allene Dawn Wire, age 35

Tawny Allene Dawn Wire was born December 23, 1988 in Virginia Beach, Virginia and entered eternal rest, Friday, July 26, 2024 at her home in Bald Knob, Arkansas.

Tawny was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents Roy Sewell and Mary Strode.

Left to cherish her memory, one son, Jude Wayne Roy Wire, whom she truly loved to the moon and back.   Also surviving are Tawny’s parents, Wayne and Vanessa Johnson of Bradford, and father David Wire (Michelle) of Florida; brother Beau Wire (Kristen) of Little Rock; half-sister, Chance Wire of Florida; paternal grandparents David Wire (Brenda) of Pennsylvania and Jane Thompson of Little Rock; Uncle Barry Wire of Pennsylvania; Aunt and Uncle Regina and Kelly Cantrell of Heber Springs; her cousins Jacob Sewell, Tyler Sewell, Steven Wire, Issac Sewell, and Sawyer Sewell; along with a host of blended and extended family and beloved friends.

At the age of 35, Tawny left this world much too soon.  Her mother instilled the belief to “love everyone” in her children and Woo, as her mother called her, was the embodiment of her raising.  She proclaimed to the world that her mother was her best friend and it was reciprocated.  She was a difference maker and she leaves behind a legacy of kindness, compassion, tolerance, laughter and generosity that will be remembered by everyone that she touched.

A graduate of Concord Public Schools and Arkansas State University, Tawny was a remarkable vlogger, social media creator, and among her followers an influencer that captivated audiences with her unique perspective on life.  Her words and iconic wit brought love, joy and laughter to countless individuals around the world, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew her personally or virtually.

While we mourn the loss of Tawny, let us all take comfort in knowing that her spirit will continue to shine brightly through the memories she has left behind.  May she rest in peace, knowing that she made the world a better place simply by being Tawny.

A Celebration of Life has been planned for August 11 at 2 pm at the Municipal Building in Pleasant Plains.

    Tawny was a bright light in mine and so many others lives, and ‘m gonna miss her so much. She was beautiful both inside and out. My heart goes out to her beautiful mom, her much loved son, and the host of other loved ones who will sorely miss her. I don’t think Tawny realized her impact on others. She was an angel on earth.

    Tawny will be missed more than imagined. She left behind so many people who will always love her and help carry on what she loved doing. I’ll miss you Tawny. You always knew how to make someone smile by simply being you. An amazing friend, mother and person has left us. Praying for comfort for her son during this time ❤️

    I am so sorry Vanessa. A mother shouldn’t have to endure the pain of losing a child and a child shouldn’t lose their parent at such a young age. I been in both situations and I pray God gives both you and Jude comfort, understanding and peace until yall see her again.

    She was a phenomenal person. She cared so much for everyone around her even when others tried to dim her light. Her absence will leave a permanent hole in mine and many other lives. I’m so sorry Jude. But know your mom left an undeniable mark on everyone’s lives.
