Trae Hawkins Obituary
Trae will always be remembered as a very gentle, observant, and caring individual. He wouldn't say much, but his actions spoke volumes. He expressed himself through poetry, writing, theater, and musical avenues such as singing in the choir and playing the cello. He was phenomenal when it came to speaking engagements. i.e. Broadcasting Club, assembly speaking, and Sunday School recaps. He also enjoyed spending time at animal shelters, loved late night drives, riding fear inducing roller coasters, going to visit new places, and eating at new restaurants. His time here may have been short, but it was very impactful. He will most definitely be missed.
He is survived by Ethel Hawkins (grandmother); Travis (Rosa) Hawkins (parents); Travis Hawkins Jr. & Emery Hawkins (brothers); and Tamia Hawkins (sister).
He also leaves a host of uncles, aunts, and cousins to cherish his memories.
