Trevon Mann

Trevon Mann was 19 years old when his life ended in January 2018. In the months before his death he had become a father for the first time, and family members say he was trying to change his life to be the parent he himself had wanted. Those facts — his age and his role as a new father — are the clearest, most human details public accounts preserve.

Relatives described Trevon as someone with ties to his neighborhood and family who, like many young people, had both struggles and hopes. His mother, Cathy Mann, spoke publicly after his death about her son’s promise to the newborn he left behind and about the pain of losing him. In interviews she and other family members have conveyed their grief and their determination to remember Trevon as more than the manner of his death.

Public reporting about Trevon focuses mainly on the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and discovery in mid‑January 2018. Those accounts also establish that he was identified by family members and that his loss has had a long, heavy impact on his mother and siblings. In the years since, family members have worked to keep his memory alive while also speaking about the broader grief facing communities touched by violence.

Because there is no published, family‑authorized obituary found that matches the exact death date in the public funeral‑home indexes and obituary aggregators consulted, this remembrance emphasizes Trevon’s human role as a young father and a member of his family. He was a real person whose life included relationships, responsibilities, and hopes for the future — especially the promise he had made to his son. Those who loved him continue to honor his memory and seek meaning and healing in the years that followed.

This page is written with restraint and respect: it centers Trevon’s life and relationships, using only details corroborated in public accounts, and leaves space for the family’s own voices and memories to be added if they choose to provide them.
