Dear Mr. Watt:
Growing up on Virginia Place watching my brother Joe and Trey play as boys is one of my fonder memories. They were such devils and I always seemed to be the one who had to baby-sit them.
Great comfort and peace can be found through friends, family, and all the wonderful memories. Your son was a special man and I am proud to have known him.

Trey was first and foremost a true gentleman who always sincere, honest and straight forward.Often wrong but never in doubt III was someone who was full on energy, enthusiam, and driven by whatever the task at hand. He leaves a lifetime of memories and good times and will be missed by all of those who truly knew him.
His heart was as BIG as Texas. CQ

Trey was a special person in my life from the very day I joined my husband's family: dressing for the wedding, the groom realized he had no necktie; Trey, 13 at the time, offered his tie and saved the day. He showed our family many kindnesses and some of our favorite memories come from the gentle friendship he extended to our son, Sandy. We feel deep sorrow for all who knew him, and we will miss him dearly.
