Minor Funeral and Cremation CenterJustin Ryan Trayah, a shining light in the lives of those who knew him, left this world on August 7th, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He was 32 years old.
Justin was born to Bill and Thelma Trayah, and was blessed with a loving family that nurtured his passions. His sister, Nicole Trayah, and nephews, Isaac and Samuel Thompson, will forever cherish the special bond they had. Justin was a movie and TV buff, avid gamer, and his love for animals was evident in the compassionate way he loved and cared for his pets and all creatures. He was also grateful for meaningful friendships, including the one he shared with his dear friend, Evan.
Justin loved his family deeply and was very fortunate to be blessed with many amazing cousins. As Justin joins his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and furry loved ones Bandit, Emmy, and Chloe in eternal rest, we take comfort in the knowledge that he is finally at peace. His legacy will forever live on through shared memories by those who loved him.
Rest in peace, Justin. You will truly be missed.
