Treat's private memorial service took place on Monday, June 19, in Vermont, his cherished home. Vermont had always held a special place in his heart and had become his beloved retreat over the years.

Since his childhood, Treat had been drawn to the Green Mountain State and would often vacation there with his family. It was during the early days of his marriage to Van Sant that he made the decision to purchase a home in Vermont, solidifying his deep connection to the state.

"I purchased our current home 35 years ago, and my affection for Vermont has only grown stronger over time, whether it's during the winter or summer seasons," Treat enthusiastically expressed in a 2021 interview with Vermont magazine. "There is an indescribable charm that resonates with me, and the people here are genuinely honest, authentic, and good-natured. Moreover, there is always a sense of anticipation when exploring new paths along the countryside."

The actor further shared, "I consider myself incredibly fortunate to genuinely love the place where I reside. I have no desire to be anywhere else. Vermont provides me with everything I desire and require. Having traveled extensively around the globe, I can confidently say that Vermont surpasses them all in terms of breathtaking beauty."
