Trey

𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐊. 𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐈𝐈 "𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐲"

We will never forget March 7, 2023, the day our lives changed in an instant. Learning that our two-year-old had a tumor was heartbreaking, but we never imagined hearing the word cancer. Just days later, on March 10, 2023, we were told that Trey had ATRT, a rare and aggressive brain cancer.

Doctors told us survival is often around 20% at two years. Statistics said 12–18 months after diagnosis. Nothing could have prepared us for this journey or the battles that followed. But from the very beginning, the Lord had already gone before us.

Trey almost made it three years.

Our precious boy fought with a strength that could only come from God, overcoming obstacles that, by human standards, felt impossible. Life is not what it once was. We are forever changed by ATRT. Yet we thank God for his faithfulness. He sustained Trey, carried our family, and met us on every mountain and in every valley.

For every breath, every victory, and every mountain God brought us over, we give him all the glory and all the praise. We never took a single moment for granted. We chose to find God’s joy even in the midst of pain. 

𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒊𝒕, 𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒃𝒂𝒃𝒚 𝒃𝒐𝒚. 𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆.

Your family fought with you and will fight for you for the rest of our days. The Lord placed angels all across the world who stood with you lifting you up, praying, and fighting alongside our family. Even the smallest faith, when placed in a mighty God, can move mountains. And our faith moved many mountains, time and time again. It was our faith that kept breathing hope into impossible days and refused to surrender joy, even when this fight took everything from us.

We know the Lord will continue to be our strength, our refuge, and the one who holds us always. Statistics may describe what usually happens, but they never defined who you were or what God was doing through you. You were never a statistic. Your life was a testimony that even the smallest warriors can inspire the world and radiate God’s love through every battle they face. 

Trey took his final breath peacefully in my arms today (𝐹𝑒𝑏𝑟𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑦 12𝑡ℎ) at 2:18 p.m. He was surrounded by so much love and is now resting with Jesus.

Fly high, my sweet boy. You have won your fight and now rest in perfect peace. We miss you more than words could ever say, and I will never stop fighting in your honor. 

Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers as we lean on God for strength in the days ahead. We love you all and thank you for fighting alongside our family!
