Trey grew up in a house of 4 in Wolf Point on the west end of town with his older brothers, Chad and Brad Fourstar. Growing up with his brother’s outgoing ways and their participation in sports paved a path for Trey’s participation in sports throughout high school. Trey’s love of basketball started at a young age. He traveled to numerous places for tournaments with his best friend/brother, Joseph Williamson. Alysia Williamson and his grandmother Judy were his biggest fans. Trey also developed a love for cross-country that spanned from junior high to college.
Trey joined MYC his sophomore year of high school, from which he graduated in June 2017. Cookie Ragland was a big support to Trey through MYC and high school. Trey worked for Agland “Swagland” during high school. This is where he grew a love for his work family. Trey’s special friend was Sophie Rasmussen, whom he married. He later found work with Key Energy and he met work friend Francisco Rosas. He was a hard worker and was a positive role model to many. He touched many lives during the little time we had with him.
