Obituary:

Tremell K. Ollie, 49, of Orlando departed this life on Friday, June 27, 2025. On February 22, 1976, Tremell Kenyon Ollie entered this world in Jonesboro, Arkansas as the first born to parents, Garrie and Brenda Ollie. Tremell graduated from Marion High School in 1994 and directly after, attended University of Central Arkansas. During his sophomore year at UCA, he met the love of his life, his wife, Sonya Bell.

Following college they were married (July 6, 2002) and soon, began planting roots in Orlando, Florida. Tremell began his I.T. career in Little Rock, AR directly after graduating from UCA with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. As his 25 year career progressed, he rose to executive leadership at Travel + Leisure Co. Determined to advocate for and cultivate a culture of inclusivity and diversity, he became a founding and active member of Travel + Leisure’s Coalition of Black Associates Diversity Resource Group. Tremell’s dedication to his company was unwavering.

Commitment to his family was his utmost priority. His most treasured role was being a dance and baseball dad to his children whom he adored. He was happiest surrounded by family and friends at outings; especially to professional sporting events. Tremell was a dedicated husband, father, son, brother, friend, and mentor.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Sonya Ollie; two children, Nyla and Jackson; his mother, Brenda Ollie, his brother, Kenyell Ollie; as well as a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

    I first met Tremell when we were about 10 years old and he was always one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I’ve ever known. Rest well, my friend.

    I had the privilege of making Sonya and Tremell’s wedding cake.
    After the vows, Tremell instantly became a responsible and loving husband. He later became an involved father to his daughter and son. He was a great provider for his family. On behalf of my family, I am sending love, hugs, and prayers to the Ollie family.

    I had the honor of meeting the Ollie Family during the latter 80s. Tremell was a young lad; his mom, Brenda, taught my oldest child elementary P.E.. We became family friends, and co-workers, and church members. The Ollie Family were involved in the community of sports, as Tremell and his younger brother were both very involved. Like his dad Garrie, Tremell was a dedicated husband, father, and friend to many. We will miss you. May God bless his entire family with love, peace, strength, & comfort as they mourn this GREAT loss. REST IN PEACE TRELELL!❤️🙏

    Tremell was an awesome leader and friend… I had so many conversations with him throughout the years… He was always upbeat, supportive and encouraging… What a special person he was and is! I say is because he lives on through us….
    RIP my friend!

    I had the pleasure of working with Tremell for about 15 years. I will always admire the way he could connect with people and instantly make you feel like you were his friend. We are all better because he was a part of our lives. He will be missed.
