Tallen Emilio Roldan, 29, of Briceville, TN, passed away Thursday, November 20, 2025 at Tennova North Medical Center surrounded by love from family and friends.

He was a cherished, incredible son, brother, nephew, cousin, grandson, friend, and fiancé. Most of all, an amazing father. His greatest blessings and joy were his children. He has a precious seven-month-old son and two beautiful daughters. He always expressed his gratitude to God for bringing them into his life.

Tallen had a smile that would light up any room he entered. His quick wit and hilarious personality brought joy to everyone who knew him. He loved deeply, laughed loudly, and cared fiercely. His hugs were so warm and comforting to anyone lucky enough to receive them. He had a heart filled with love and compassion. The joy he brought to all of us is impossible to put into words. He always wanted to help everyone he met. Helping others was a part of who he was. His final gift as an organ donor reflects the person he was and the heart he carried his whole life.

Tallen is preceded in death by his grandparents, Lillie Mae Roldan; Carmelo G. Roldan; and Otsy Leinart; aunt, Karen Landreth and Steve Idles and uncle, Freddy Rosenbalm.
