It's with profound sadness that we give this news that our sweet baby Trey passed away. It's a complete shock to us as parents and family members. Despite his Trisomy 18 diagnosis he was thriving. He charmed and blessed everyone he met and some who never met him in person. Trey was such a fighter and changed so many people's perception of Trisomy 18. He had such a sweet personality and was full of love. We were all so blessed by his existence. Trey passed away just before he became 4 months old. He beat so many odds against him. We are so happy he picked us to be his parents but so extremely sad that we only got 118 days of joy with him outside the womb. We can't believe we have to live the rest of our lives without him.
Please join us on Sunday, October 14, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. at Mountain View Funeral Home to honor Trey’s life and the impact he has had on so many.
