TREY PAUL MARIAN

With broken hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved son, brother, uncle, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend, Trey Paul Marian. To know him was to know laughter. He had a way of making every room brighter simply by walking into it. He woke up every day with one goal, to make someone laugh, smile, or forget their worries, even if only for a moment. His sense of humor, contagious smile, and larger than life personality were gifts that he shared freely with everyone around him. He was the person you could always count on. No matter where he was needed or how busy life became, he showed up. Whether it was for family, friends, or even a stranger, he gave his time, his heart, and his unwavering support without hesitation. He carried burdens that many people never knew about, yet he rarely spoke of his own struggles. Instead, he chose to put others first, making sure the people he loved were cared for before himself. He found joy in life’s simplest moments. If there was music playing, you could count on him to be singing every word or dancing without a second thought. His laughter was infectious, his energy unmatched, and his ability to bring people together was something truly special. He lived in a way that reminded everyone around him not to take life too seriously and to find happiness in every chance they could. He was the biggest Auburn football fan, and few things brought him more joy than cheering on the Tigers. Some of his favorite memories were spent watching games at home with his dad and brother, while every chance to experience the electric atmosphere of Jordan-Hare Stadium with his close friends became a memory he deeply treasured. Whether he was cheering from the living room or outside the stadium, Auburn football was more than just a game it was a passion that brought him countless moments of happiness and connected him with the people he loved most. Above all else, he loved his family. Being a son, a brother, and an uncle wasn’t just a title to him it was who he was. His family was the center of his world, and there was nothing he wouldn’t do for the people he loved. The memories he created, the laughter he shared, and the unconditional love he gave will remain in our hearts forever. He is survived by his loving dad, John Marian. His siblings, Trinity Marian and Joshua Marian. His cherished nieces, Evie Kate and Oakleigh Mae. His grandparents, Marietta Bearden, Skip Marian, and Barbara Marian. Along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members, and countless friends who became family. He was preceded in death by his loving mom Peggy Marian, and PawPaw Don Bearden. Although our hearts are shattered, we are forever grateful for the years we were blessed to have him. His love, laughter, kindness, and selflessness left an unforgettable mark on everyone who knew him. While we will miss hearing him sing, watching him dance, and feeling the joy he brought into every gathering, we know his spirit will continue to live on in the stories we tell, the laughter we share, and the love we carry forward. A celebration of his life will be held on July 11, 2026 at Hepzibah Baptist Church. Visitation will be held from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM, with the memorial service beginning at 1:00 PM. In honor of the way he loved people so deeply, family and friends are invited to share memories and stories of the moments that made him so special. There is no better way to celebrate his life than by remembering the joy he brought to so many. Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever in our hearts. Forever 23.
