Tyler Hynes Shares Tribute to Late Father on What Would Have Been His 70th Birthday

Tyler Hynes has shared an emotional video honoring his father, who passed away on April 29.

The 40-year-old Hallmark actor released the tribute on Monday, May 11—a date that would have marked his dad's 70th birthday. In the video's caption, Hynes reflected on the loss with poignant words about the connection between father and son.

"On the morning of April 29th, I was left with a boundless amount of love and admiration for a man who gave me an endless amount of what made him, him that has inevitably made me, me," Hynes wrote. "I now have an understanding of what all this is. I understand now that I wasn't left at all."

He concluded his message with: "Tony Hynes, May 11th 1956 – forever, through me and the ones I'll one day leave behind. For me, there is before this moment and after. I love you. And will always miss you dad."

The video features a collection of cherished moments between Hynes and his father, including footage of them tossing a ball on the beach and other snapshots from their life together, such as Tyler wearing his dad's Kansas City Chiefs hat.

Around the same time, Hynes also posted a separate tribute to his mother, Betty, for Mother's Day. "I have no greater perspective on life than I do in this moment. And that I owe to my father. But my mother, you will always have my undivided attention and unwavering devotion to making this next chapter of your life as beautiful and vibrant as you are," the "I'll Be Seeing You" star wrote.
