Trae was born on June 2, 2009, at Scott County Hospital in Oneida, TN to Matthew Trae Sexton and Sarah Minnie Boyatt Sexton.

Trae loved to be around people and watch them laugh so he could laugh with them. He loved to watch sports and play baseball! He enjoyed playing electronics, listening to music, having cookouts, playing board games, mud riding, fishing, and swimming with his family and friends. He is loved by family, church family, and friends more than words!
