Trey Samuel Wallace, age 15 of Alton, passed away on Sunday, September 1, 2019 at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. He was born to Chris and Clarisa Wallace on August 28, 2004 in Wichita, Kansas.
Trey was an inquisitive, bright, and kind young man. He didn’t know a stranger because he wouldn’t LET anyone be a stranger. His big smile and bubbly personality were contagious to those who knew him. If he had a question, he would ask it, and he asked a lot of questions, especially when it came to his curiosities on how things worked. Trey really liked to tinker, and anything that had to do with science and mechanics peaked his interests the most. Away from academics he enjoyed his pets, music and movies, and time with friends and family. He had a strong passion for his church and loved his church family deeply. He belonged to the Assembly of God Church in Stockton.
Trey will be missed everyday by his parents, Chris and Clarisa Wallace of Alton, Kansas; siblings, Brianna Thurman and husband Clint of Wichita, KS, and Faith Wallace, Brayden Wallace, and Ashlyn Wallace of the home in Alton; grandparents, Denise and John Martin of Portis, KS, Melveen Dodson and husband Donald of El Dorado, KS, and Rodney and Rita Pressnell of Leon, KS; great-grandma, Marjorie Wallace of Augusta, Kansas; niece and nephew, Elizabeth and Elias Thurman; and many others who had the privilege of calling Trey a friend.
Trey is preceded in death by his grand parents, Willie Leedy and wife Betty and great-grandparents, Barney and Irene Phillips, and C.V. and Esther Pressnell.
Although Trey is no longer with us in the flesh, we can keep him in spirit by reminiscing on his ever-present smiling face, and the sheer joy we got from just being in his presence. Trey had so much goodness within him and a capacity to bring so much happiness to others that we can be reminded to do as he would have done, and spread more smiles, love a little deeper, and trust in our Lord and Savior. Trey truly loved all and was loved by all.
A funeral service will be held on Saturday, September 7, 2019 at the Stockton High School Gym at 10:30 A.M. Visitation will be Friday from 1:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M. at the funeral home in Stockton.
