Ty Joseph Machado, age 24 of Seguin, passed away on May 24, 2026. Ty was born on January 28, 2002, in New Braunfels, Texas to Catherine Michelle (Steffens) and Joseph “Joey” Anthony Machado.

Ty graduated from Navarro High School in 2020. He loved art, fishing, cooking, music, traveling, his dogs Rosie and Walker and spending time with his friends and cousins who meant the world to him.
