Trey will forever be remembered for his hearty laugh and bright smile as well as his musical prowess. I thank God for having known him in my lifetime. He's accompanied me on piano in the past and we ended up singing for other programs and at homegoing celebrations together. I pray strength for you all, especially his parents and his best bud, best man and brother Jarvis R. Wilson. To Trey....rest well my brother. Save me a seat in the heavenly choir.

We were honored to see you perform the sermon at one of the sunrise Easter services 4-5 years ago at Mt. Bethel UMC in Marietta. You inspired us to begin attending church again, where we were blessed with heveanly songs sung by you. You reached so many people's hearts and inspired them through your words and through song. Although we did not know you personally, I cannot imagine the loss your family is feeling. I do know that you will be markedly missed by many and your imprint on many people's lives and their faith is eternal.

Dina and Family,
Words cannot express the grief we are feeling for you and with you. Robert was such an inspiration to us with his voice and teachings. We have missed him and your family since the move from Mt Bethel. Heaven is rejoicing hearing him sing and lead the choir. We pray that God will provide the strength and peace that you and your family will need in the days and weeks to come. We love you.

My family started attending Mt. Bethel after my husband passed away in May 2013. We fell in love with Rev, McMichael right away and joined the church in 2014. His singing was anointed and he blessed our souls every Sunday. He sang at my eldest son's wedding last May. My daughter-in-law is from Indonesia and I have posted a picture with him speaking her parents in Indonesia after the wedding on face time. He was a remarkable singer, preacher and teacher and a true man of God. Our hearts were broken when he announced a few months later he was leaving Mt. Bethel. His memory and blessings will remain throughout eternity. Gloria Craig, Age 70, Mt. Bethel UMC.
