Trejan was a 2017 graduate of Shelby High School where he was an outstanding baseball player. Along with his love for baseball, he enjoyed fitness, video games, and his son. He was incredibly kind and would share anything he had with others. When Trejan loved he loved hard.

Even at his lowest points, he always had a smile on his face and he found joy in making other people smile. Trejan had many different friends from many different backgrounds. One thing that all his friends can agree on was that he was a light in any room he walked into. He truly had a gift of making people laugh, and feel like they were seen and heard. He was a protector, a lover, a fighter, and had a very gentle soul. Trejan also loved adventure; he loved to experience new things and new people.
