Sydnee Rae Valentine

Our sweet girl Sydnee Rae Valentine left this earth on Saturday, Sept. 28, 2024, at the age of 23.

Born to Jerry and Randi Valentine on May 9, 2001, Sydnee was the third of four siblings. Throughout her childhood, we knew she was something special. She had a talent for playing the violin. Over the course of her grade school years at Lockwood School, she also developed many talents in art that would flourish into more advanced skills during her time at Billings Senior High, where she graduated in May 2019.

After graduating, Sydnee continued working at McDonalds, where she made some close friends and, after many years, she decided to expand her horizons and took on a new job with Franz Bakery as an outlet clerk, where she remained until her death. Sydnee brought joy those that knew her well; her smile and very defined dimple would light up your day. Her contagious laugh was more than most could handle and was identifiable even if she wasn’t in the room. She used her creative talents to draw cartoon strips, and short animations. She played Minecraft, Lethal Company and other games where her sense of humor shined and brought laughter to her viewers on YouTube and Twitch, where she had a loyal following and developed friendships over the internet, some of whom she met in California when we celebrated her 21st birthday with a visit to Santa Monica pier. She was an avid TikToker, posting viral videos that showcased her fun and goofy personality that will forever bring joy to our family.

Sydnee is survived by her parents, Jerry and Randi Valentine; siblings Jerry III, Megan and Kaitlyn Valentine; great-grandparents James and Toni Bradley; grandparents Jerry and Vicke Valentine, Vickie and Don Lanegan; aunt and uncles Cassie and Cody Kelly, Don Stratton, and John Stratton; her dear cousins, Cyleigh Kelly and Ira Lanegan; many extended great-aunts, uncles and cousins; and her sweet little Lily cat.

Her memory will be forever survived by those who knew and loved her.

A celebration of life service will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5, at First Presbyterian Church, 2420 13th St. W., Billings.

Her favorite color is green and she loves sunflowers.
