Trey was a really fine young man.  I remember the many times we met up reenacting.

He had problems, as we all do, but over came them and led a great life.

I just saw the news of his passing today.  Lucky Osborne and I were among his fans.  Lucky and I will miss Trey as we miss all who we shared the reenacting with.


I am so sad to hear about Trey's passing. We worked together on a lot of projects for C Spire and Cellular South over the years - most recently moving and setting up Pepper the Robot around to several schools throughout MS. He was so kind, sweet, hard working, interesting and will be missed terribly - personally and by all the team at C Spire. RIP, Trey.

A sweet soul with many varied interest, loved his cat(s) and model cars. I listened  to Simple Man made me cry

Rest In Peace Trey. Say hi to mom and dad . 

I feel like I lost a brother.  I always called him for advise on how to fix cars, plumbing, roofing or whatever I couldn't figure out how to fix. I'm sure he got some laughs out of how I was trying to fix some things. I wish we had gotten around to fixing my old cars front end issue. He knew I respected his hard earned knowledge on front ends from when he worked at Big 10. I hate that we never got around to riding motorcycles together. I think we probably made up for it on our K Days trips. We all probably found more than we should have. We should have pooled our money and bought that "real" 55 Chevy we saw every time we went to K Days. Rest in peace Trey

The BEST cannoneer that I ever had in my crew.  I'll see you at Fiddler's Green some day my brother. Rest well.

A passionate diecast collector who was one of the original members of our local group and a great guy.  We will greatly miss seeing him at the shows, swaps, and pegs.

Trey was a friend and fellow collector he had a huge heart and will be greatly missed... prayers for his family 

I saw Trey about a month ago in the Richland Walmart. We stood in "Electronics " and talked for over 30 minutes. We talked about cats(we shared the love of cats),how long we had been out of high school, and Trey told me that he had a "secret crush" on me for a long time. He was one of the sweetest, kindest, most lovable people I've ever known. I will miss running into him every now and  then. Rest Peacefully,, Sweet Trey. You are loved and you will be missed. 

What a wonderful guy who was always friendly and generous with his time. We started forest Hill at the same time and shared many classes. I dated his sister Ruth and he always said he was allowing me to date her. Enjoyed hearing about his adventures with the union and confederate war re-enactments!  Will miss him 

My beloved big brother! One of the Beautiful People! The light and sunshine of SO many lives.
