Fairview – Andy “Trey” Nesbitt, 51, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, March 28, 2026.

Trey was born in Buncombe County to Andy “Steve” Nesbitt and Bonny Jones Nesbitt.

Trey was a member of Nesbitt’s Chapel Church in Fairview. He was a beloved employee at Deerfield Retirement Community since 2009. He loved the Lord and his family with all his heart and especially his son Matthew. He never met a stranger and was always willing to help anyone in need. He loved his daily routine of working on the farm with his cattle, working in the garden to give the food away, fishing, cooking for others and having friends and family over for his Friday and Saturday night bonfires.

He is survived by his son, Matthew Nesbitt (Abbagail Allen); his parents, Steve Nesbitt and Bonny Nesbitt; his girlfriend, Melissa Sehion and her son, Randy; two sisters, Wendy Wheeler (Todd) and Shannon Best; a niece, Katelyn Wheeler; a nephew, Colton Best; three great nephews, Mack, Sterlen and Kapten; his honorary brothers, Michael Woody, Ken Smith and Landon Altman and many others close friends and extended family.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, April 2, 2026 at Nesbitt’s Chapel in Fairview at 4:00 pm with pastor Eric McAbee officiating. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the church from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

  1. To Trey’s family
    You raised a great guy. To me Trey was like a brother to me and was always there when I need him. Over the years Trey was my yard boy always there to weed eat my yard and whenever I asked him to do for me with his son Matthew. Matthew thank you for being there to help. Love you both

  17. I was shocked to learn of your passing! We’re still so young! I know we had not been as close as we were back in the day, but after Helene, we at least started to acknowledge each other a little more.
    When I was thinking about you, I couldn’t help but think of all the memories of growing up and all the good times we had. You were a great cousin, friend, and our community will always remember you! I know you’re at peace, and I pray that Melissa, Matthew, Steve, Bonny, Wendy, and all the extended family find comfort in knowing we’ll see you again.. I’ll always cherish those good memories, Trey, and I’ll always honor your memory!!! My love to the family!

  27. My Condolences to the entire family in this time of loss. I pray for a peace beyond understanding that only our Lord can provide. Trey was a few years older than me and he was a friend during a very tough part of my life. I have many good memories of him and he will be missed.

  30. So sad to learn of Trey’s sudden passing. I thought of Trey as “family”. I met Trey here at Deerfield 17 years ago and we had a very close “special” friendship. My heartfelt condolences to Matthew and family. Trey will be missed.

  31. We were deeply saddened to hear of Trey’s sudden passing. He was someone we all thought very highly of and truly enjoyed working with over the years.

    Trey had a rare work ethic—dedicated, dependable, and always taking pride in what he did. He served the Deerfield community with compassion and respect, and everyone—from his teammates and the residents to those of us fortunate enough to work alongside Trey as a vendor —felt the impact of his kindness.

    He carried that genuine Southern charm—“yes ma’am, yes sir”—and made people feel valued and at ease. It was clear he loved and adored his family and found joy in the simple things, like fishing.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Trey will be deeply missed.
