Erian T. Gambrell

Erian T. Gambrell, a bright and promising young soul, was born on January 15, 2003, in Toledo, Ohio. He departed from this life far too soon on February 11, 2026, leaving a legacy of warmth, strength, and love embedded in the hearts of all who knew him.

Erian's journey in life was marked by his unwavering spirit and determination. Graduating from Woodward High School in the class of 2020, he achieved the remarkable feat of finishing a year early. His time at school was characterized by his passion for football and a keen interest in engineering, showcasing both his physical prowess and intellectual curiosity. His determination and resilience shone brightly, especially as he faced the challenge of a cancer diagnosis. Despite the hardships, Erian fought bravely and became an inspiration to those around him.

Erian was a loving son, a cherished brother, and a true friend. His personality radiated warmth; he had a smile that could light up any room, reflecting his genuine and caring nature. Well-loved by his brothers and sisters, Erian shared a special bond with each of his family members. His life was enriched by moments spent with his family and friends, as he loved to just chill, building memories that will forever be treasured.

He was deeply proud of his nieces and nephews, embodying the role of a supportive and affectionate uncle. The love he poured into his relationships created a lasting impact on all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Erian is survived by his devoted father Wayne Gambrell and loving mother Seconda Tucker. He leaves behind a host of siblings, including Elrico Green, Erika Tucker, Eric Richardson, LaSweeta Gambrell, Faith Morgan-Gambrell, Starshai Gambrell, Jaliyah McFarland, Rakahla Smith, Michael Lipkins, Marcus Lipkins, Roland Sefo, Wayne Cosper-Gambrell, and William Cosper-Gambrell. He is also survived by his sisters Jamella Mebane and a multitude of loving cousins, nieces, nephews, and extended family members, including grandmothers Delseyna Hawkins and Lydia Tucker, grandfather Robert Tucker, and several uncles and aunts, among them William Gambrell, Tamar Tucker, Tamara Thompson, and Secon Tucker, along with his godmothers Tracey Mays, LaTasha Wilson, and Wendy Byrd and a special friend and caregiver; Anashae Winters.

Erian will be profoundly missed but fondly remembered by all whose lives he touched. He now joins his beloved grandparents, Robert Tucker, Dora Mae Gambrell and Maudie Gambrell, as well as his aunt Wanda Gambrell, in eternal rest. The legacy of Erian's compassion, strength, and vibrant spirit will continue to shine brightly in the memories of his family and friends, reminding us all to live fully and love deeply.
