Byren Zion Paige a.k.a. "Treezy"

Byren Zion Paige, age 17, of Edgewood, passed away on Sunday, August 2, 2026, in Towson, Maryland.

Byren was the beloved son of Tyra Viola Lashawn Williams and Devon May.

Byren was a bright light to everyone who knew him. Full of personality, he was known for his colorful spirit, goofy sense of humor, and the ability to make friends wherever he went. He loved his friends as though they were brothers and sisters, and his popularity was a reflection of the kindness and genuine care he showed to others. He also embraced the nickname from his father figure, carrying it with pride as a tribute to the impact that person had on his life.

A talented and determined young man, Byren had a passion for barbering. He loved cutting hair for everyone he could, whether at home, at school, or anywhere he had the opportunity to practice and perfect his skills. Music was another of his greatest passions, and he enjoyed writing lyrics for rap songs as a creative outlet.

Byren loved sports and was happiest on the basketball court with his friends. He also proudly played football for Edgewood High School. His favorite colors to wear were blue and black, and sometimes all black.

Above all, Byren treasured his family and friends. His vibrant personality, generous heart, infectious laughter, and unforgettable presence will forever be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.

In addition to his parents, Byren is survived by his siblings, Nevaeh Paige, Bobby Paige (a.k.a. Butt Butt), Morgan Johnson, Breon Paige, Bryson Paige, and De'yon May; his grandparents, Karen Henry and Lewis Henry; his aunts, Siani Williams and Geraldine Williams; his uncles, Ingram Williams and Marcus Wilkes; his cousins, Kye'ahle Armstead, Corie Williams, Donielle Mack, and Donel Mack; and countless friends who became family and will cherish his memory forever.

Byren’s sudden passing after being struck by a vehicle on Highway 695 has left his family heartbroken and facing unexpected funeral expenses. Without life insurance, the financial burden is especially difficult.
