Honoring Tre Chestnut: Support for Diann

In Memory of Tre Chestnut – A Dear Husband, Veteran, and Loving Father

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Tre Chestnut, who unexpectedly left us on April 26, 2025, at the age of 56. Tre was a proud veteran, having served in both the Navy and Army, including active duty during the Gulf War. His dedication to his country was just one of the many ways he showed his strength and commitment.

Tre was a kind-hearted soul, always ready with a smile or a joke to lift your spirits. He was passionate about his family, and his love knew no bounds. Before his passing, he worked as a Sterilization Technician at the Veterans Hospital in Eugene, where he made a difference in the lives of many. Tre loved fishing, shooting, camping, and spending time outdoors—activities that brought him joy and peace.

He is survived by his wife, Diann, to whom he was married for 37 years, and who has been by his side since their teenage years. Their children Kayla, Kasey, and his daughter in-law Kimberly. With three grandchildren Lilliana, Aiden, and Roman. Tre was the kind of man who would give the shirt off his back, and his loss leaves a profound void in the hearts of all who knew him.

We have created this GoFundMe to help Diann during this difficult time. As Tre’s VA benefits can take up to a year to be processed, we are seeking support to cover ongoing expenses, funeral costs, and help for this transition for Diann, who currently relies solely on her disability income.

Any contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated and will go directly toward supporting Diann as she navigates life without her beloved husband. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us during this heartbreaking time.

Thank you for your time,

The Chestnuts
