May we find comfort in the treasured memories of those no longer with us.
Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Steven “Tren” Nolan on August 5, 2026, at the age of 65. Tren lost his life suddenly to cancer.
Tren was born on May 31, 1961, in Denver, Colorado, to his loving parents, Ramona and Leonard Nolan. He soon built a life in Reno, Nevada, centered around family and friends.
Tren was known best for his upbeat and loving personality. Whether he was teaching in the classroom, on the tennis court, or playing card games, he’d always bring passion and joy, followed by an extreme competitive spirit. Tren dedicated his professional life to education, teaching advanced mathematics for over 40 years, most recently at Sage Ridge School, Manogue High School and Wooster High School. He impacted the life of many students, helping them achieve their dreams.
Above all else, Tren loved his family. They were his greatest source of pride, and his love for them was evident in everything he did. They cherished the time they spent together and created memories that will be carried in their hearts forever. Spending many moments laughing, playing cards, making up rules to games that only family would understand, barbecuing on the deck, hunting, camping, skiing, golfing, playing tennis and pickleball, and so much more, Tren had a way of making every moment feel celebrated and full of life.
Tren was a beloved son, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, teacher, and friend. He is survived by his parents, Ramona and Leonard Nolan; his siblings, Dane and Renae; his children Alia (Andy) Stark, Trenner Nolan, and Kye (Lizzy) Nolan; his granddaughter, Josie; his former wife and the mother of his children, Carmen Nolan; his former wife and great friend, Andrea Nolan; and many extended family members and friends who will continue to carry his memory forward.
He was preceded in death by his sister, Rinda.
Although Tren’s passing leaves a tremendous void, his family chooses to celebrate the life he lived and the memories he created so freely. His legacy will live on through every person who was fortunate enough to know and love him.
