Tallen Emilio Roldan, 29, of Briceville, TN, passed away Thursday, November 20, 2025 at Tennova North Medical Center surrounded by love from family and friends.

He was a cherished, incredible son, brother, nephew, cousin, grandson, friend, and fiancé. Most of all, an amazing father. His greatest blessings and joy were his children. He has a precious seven-month-old son and two beautiful daughters. He always expressed his gratitude to God for bringing them into his life.

Tallen had a smile that would light up any room he entered. His quick wit and hilarious personality brought joy to everyone who knew him. He loved deeply, laughed loudly, and cared fiercely. His hugs were so warm and comforting to anyone lucky enough to receive them. He had a heart filled with love and compassion. The joy he brought to all of us is impossible to put into words. He always wanted to help everyone he met. Helping others was a part of who he was. His final gift as an organ donor reflects the person he was and the heart he carried his whole life.

Tallen is preceded in death by his grandparents, Lillie Mae Roldan; Carmelo G. Roldan; and Otsy Leinart; aunt, Karen Landreth and Steve Idles and uncle, Freddy Rosenbalm.

He is survived by:

His parents, Johnny Keith and Tonya Roldan; his beloved sister, Louisa Roldan; grandfather, Claude Bullock; fiance, Kaitlyn Phelan; son, Jace Emilio Roldan; daughters, Addisynn and Addilynn Seiber; special aunt, Delana Thompson; special uncle, Allen Bullock; special cousins, Stephanie and Chad Davis, and Beth Barger; Godmother, Michele Disney; Godfather, Joey Phillips; as well as a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and many extended family and special, life-long friends which were a treasured blessing to him.

The family would like to say a humble and heartfelt thank you to his church family at Briceville First Baptist Church, those who have shown love, kindness, and prayers, first responders, and medical staff at Tennova North Medical Center, especially the ICU team.

The family will receive friends at Holley Gamble Funeral Home on November 28, 2025, from 1-3 PM, with a memorial service to follow at 3 PM.
