Trajan McQuitty Obituary (1991 - 2026)

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Trajan (Trey) Lenn McQuitty. Trey passed peacefully at the University of Utah hospital the morning of January 16th, 2026 at the age of 34. He was born October 21, 1991 to Darnell Eugene McQuitty and Lori Lynn Cochran. He spent most of his first years of his life in Andrews Texas before moving to Green River, Wyoming at the age of eighteen. Trey was a devoted family man with a heart of gold and a contagious smile. His greatest joy was his daughter Payton. He was so proud to be her dad and loved her beyond measure. He took great pride in his McQuitty heritage and was always willing to stand up for those in need. With a natural charisma and leadership abilities, Trey had a way of drawing people to him and making everyone feel welcome. Once you were his friend, it was a lifelong friendship, through all the hills and valleys. His love of laughter and playful pranks will be deeply missed but carried on by his daughter Payton. He loved spending his time outdoors with his family and friends. He spent his free time fishing, playing horse shoes, barbecuing or sitting by a fire. Catching a fish no matter the size always put a smile on his face. Trajan received Christ when he was 9 years old. He made a profession of faith in Christ at 2nd Baptist church on February 6, 2000 and was baptized on February 20, 2000. He loved God and His Savior Jesus Christ. He was in Bible Drill in his youth and started attending church again in the past year. He often spoke about the bible and Jesus with his grandma and started sharing his faith with friends through the last year.
