A memorial fund has been launched on GoFundMe by Marissa Jaret Winokur, fellow actor and friend of Trien's.
The fund will be used to support Trien's two children, Keaton and Cali.
"Money raised from this fund will go into a trust that I will oversee, to help Dan and the kids take care of all the expenses they need help with moving forward and then help set Cali and Keaton up with as much support as possible as they grieve the loss of their beloved mother," the campaign description reads.
