An obituary from the family read: \u201cOaklynn packed a lot in her short time with us. Traveling the rodeo circuit all over the US, hitting the practice pen with mom and dad, and loving her family with all her heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe loved frogs, horses, everybody\u2019s puppies, going to \u2018yodeos\u2019, and hanging out with all her friends.\u201d And it added: \u201cShe did not know a stranger and lit up the room the minute she made her grand entrance.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Tributes have poured in from the rodeo community with Oaklynn\u2019s dad Ryan Domer also a competitor.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hearts are shattered beyond words. Sweet Oaklynn gained her angel wings far too soon. Please continue praying for Kelsie, Ryan, her family and everyone that loved this precious soul,\u201d Simply Equine & K9, Domer\u2019s rodeo team, posted on\u00a0Facebook.<\/p>\n

Horse riders and ropers have been wearing pink to remember Oaklynn including at a competition in San Antonio following her death.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know my baby girl loved seeing all of that PINK,\u2019 Kelsie said on social media of the tributes. She also shared a link to a pink baseball cap bearing the motto \u201cbe the light\u201d which is being sold in memory of Oaklynn.<\/p>\n

And professional roper Jackie Hobbs-Crawford said: \u201cI never would have thought I could learn something from a 3 year old. Let me tell you what Oaklynn Rae taught me in her 3 short years here with us\u2026 She taught me that how you enter a room can change a person entire day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat how you look at them and make them feel the second you see them can fill their heart with so much joy that it runs over and spreads to others throughout the day. I want to tackle life with as much boldness and energy as this kid did everyday.<\/p>\n

In her post on social media she continued: \u201cShe will forever be that sunshine in our hearts. She was Journey\u2019s best little friend and will forever be Journey and Creed\u2019s \u2018Baby Oaklynn\u2019. Please keep Ryan Kelsie Domer, and all of Oaklynn\u2019s family (which extends to friends that are far greater in numbers than most adults) in your prayers. We love you big Oaklynn Rae, just as you loved life! We will forever miss you sweet girl! RIP.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
