A young man with a promising future, who always strived to make his family proud. Our favorite memory of Trey was when he and his high school football team (Opelika) played in the state playoffs at Spanish Fort. We were standing from the fence when Trey #5 caught that pick that we'll never forget. After the game, I told Trey how good it was to see him doing so well and that we we're very proud of him. Instantly, there was that smile. A smile that will never be forgotten. Rest in peace Trey. To the family, we send our love and condolences. Continue to stay strong. Your cousins, Nakeya, Eric and Ajani'Re Woods of Atlanta,Ga.
