Celebrating the Life & Legacy of Tré Major

My beloved husband, Tré', was my best friend, my partner, and the love of my life. We shared 20 wonderful years together, including 10 years of marriage after saying "I do" on September 5, 2016. Our life together was filled with love, laughter, adventure, and purpose.

Together, we raised our daughter, Areina, who is now 18 and attending college. Tré' was an incredible husband and father, and the love and devotion he gave our family will remain with us always. He was a true family man, welcoming friends and extended family with such warmth and generosity that everyone felt like one of his own.

Tré' loved traveling by my side, building a lasting legacy together, and bringing joy wherever he went. He was also passionate about his career and shared his remarkable talent with the world. His light helped others recognize the beauty within themselves and all around them.

Tré' was joyful, fun-loving, and full of life. The way he loved, gave, and made people feel seen is a testament to the person we should all aspire to be. I miss him more than words can express, and I will carry his love, his light, and the legacy we built together in my heart always.

Cousin, I'm still trying to process all of this, but one thing I'll never question is the love we had. You always showed up, and when you did, you never came regular. You came with the Major look, Major love, and that big-cousin energy only you could bring.

You knew you were him before the world caught on. You didn't just do hair — you created moments, set trends, and left your touch all through the industry. But before the celebrities, before the glam, before the iconic looks, you were my cousin. My Tré'.

You were Pop Life for real — and I can already imagine you in heaven bringing everybody back to life, getting the whole place together, while I'm down here trying to get along with these feelings and this grief.

I know you're up there so fresh and so clean, probably looking around like, "Okay… who did this hair?" Because basic was never your ministry.

And every time I see a celebrity on TV, I already know I'm gonna say, "Mmm… cute, but that ain't a Major look."

Your talent will live on. Your name will live on. Your love will live on. I love you, Cousin, always and forever.

The walls of my house still echo with the sound of us talking and laughing for hours, tucked away on the couch in our favorite corner.

I am so deeply grateful for those simple, sacred moments — especially when you would do my hair, your gentle hands matching the easy comfort of our conversation.

You were so much more than a brother; you helped me raise Ashleigh, pouring your love and care into our family.

When life felt heavy, you spoke life into me and helped me be strong, always reminding me of who I was.

Those long talks, your guiding words, and our shared laughter are the anchors that will keep me grounded now.

While the space you left behind feels quiet, the warmth of your love is where my healing begins.

Thank you for being my brother, my protector, and my truest friend. No one understood the unspoken language of our bond quite like you, Tré'. Rest easy, brother. I'll keep your light in my heart, so for now, see you later My Angel.

From our earliest childhood memories, we shared a bond that life could never break. Born just 13 months apart, we were thick as thieves. Although life sometimes took us down different paths, we always found our way back to each other. No distance, no circumstance, and no amount of time could ever change the love between us.

You were my big little brother, my childhood companion, my confidant, and my forever friend. I will always cherish your larger-than-life personality, your beautiful heart, your unwavering faith, and the way you loved so deeply. I will miss your unexpected visits, the fresh flowers you brought just because, your words of wisdom, and even those moments when you insisted your intuition was always right.

But most of all, I will miss your arms wrapped tightly around me and that special kiss you always placed on the top of my head.

Losing you so soon after saying goodbye to our baby brother has left a heartache words cannot express. We promised to hold each other up, and now I must find the strength to carry both of you in my heart.

I find comfort in knowing your faith was strong and believing that you are now at peace, free from pain and the burdens of this world.

Thank you for a lifetime of memories, laughter, prayers, and unconditional love. I will forever be proud to be your sister.

Until we find our way to each other again, just as we always did.

Rest peacefully, my sweet brother. Give our baby brother a big hug for me.

Tré', I'm going to miss you. I'm so glad we had the chance to get close — to laugh together, spend time together, and make memories that I will carry for the rest of my life.

You always did things your own way, starting with your arrival. I was only six months and three weeks into my pregnancy when you decided it was time to meet the world. You weighed just 2 pounds, 9 ounces, but you came with your mouth wide open, making noise and making your presence known. You were tiny, but you had something to say.

I remember when you were 13 months old and wouldn't crawl. You would roll wherever you wanted to go, and then you went from rolling to walking. Looking back, that was you all along. You found your own way forward, in your own time. That little boy grew into a man with his own vision, his own style, and a gift for making people feel beautiful.

There are so many memories. I still laugh about when you lived in Woodland Hills and did my hair and makeup. You gave me that long old blonde ponytail, and when I looked at myself, I hardly recognized who I was looking at! I thought that ponytail was a mess. But I loved being with you and letting you work your magic on me.

We could sit and watch television, talking about everybody's hair and makeup, and you would have me cracking up. I remember you seeing Patti LaBelle when you were only four or five years old and saying, "Momma, I'm going to do her hair." And you did. I got to watch something you dreamed about as a little boy become part of your life.

As much as I loved your talent and your humor, I loved your caring ways. You were always thinking about everyone else. You had a way of making people feel special, and I will always treasure the love you showed me.

I wish you hadn't gone so soon. I'm going to miss you every day. I'll miss your phone calls, you popping up on me wherever I was, and you doing my hair. I'll miss our conversations and the way we laughed together. I'll miss the everyday moments that meant so much.

You made your presence known from the moment you arrived, and you left your momma with a lifetime of memories.
