Trey was always respectful, courteous, and kind-hearted, with a loving, generous soul.

He brought a touch of magic and joy to everyone he encountered.

He was full of life and able to see the best in everyone.

He loved people just as they were, and with his whole heart.

Trey was the best friend, classmate, teammate, son, grandson, and brother that he knew how to be.

His family considered him a true blessing from God.

There are no words fully capable of expressing how much he was loved, nor how deeply he will be missed.
