Trenton Varner Obituary
Trenton Todd “Tiny” Varner, 36, of Head Waters, passed away Tuesday, December 6, 2022 as the result of an automobile accident.
He was born May 15, 1986, the oldest son of Steven Eugene and Trenda Mae (Malcolm) Varner.
A 2004 graduate of Highland High School, Tiny was employed with Lakeside Book Company as a machine operator. He attended Destiny Family Center Church.
A selfless, genuine soul, Tiny had an easy-going approach to life. His gentle spirit and caring heart led him to meet his many friends, whom he cherished and considered extended family. An avid gamer, he also enjoyed truck pulls, drag racing, the NY Yankees, Tennessee Titans, WVU football and most of all, picking on his little brother. Above all, he will be remembered as the big guy with a bigger heart. As one friend said, “whether you knew him for an hour, or years, he left a lasting “big” impression.”
