USA First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff

Dear First Lady Fran DeWine,
My name is Becky Smith. I lost my youngest son, Trey laen Scouten. Trey was just 18
years old when he passed away on September 20, 2022, from fentanyl poisoning. Trey
had one older sibling, Brice. Trey was fiercely loved and loved fiercely.
Trey was an animal lover, proudly taking care of four cats and his dog. Trey's heart
belonged to his beloved Ninja girl. Ninja was his cat and those two were inseparable. Trey
also loved cars from a very young age. You would often see Trey browsing cars online,
reading up on the different engines, he loved dreaming about the type of cars he would
own once he was able to buy them.
Trey lived by “I'm Third”; God/Others/Me. Trey always put himself last. Trey wouldn't
make plans and if he did, he would often change them if someone else needed him. Trey
would often say "I was called to love; I was called to serve." Trey would not hesitate to
offer his services if he could. You would often see him volunteer at church, going on
mission trips, loving on every person he met. Trey always said, “I love you” and would
flash 4 fingers, #4L forever loved.
Trey was also an accomplished dancer. Trey started formal training at 8 years old, and
started competing when he was 14 years old. Trey danced to anything from modern, hip
hop, ballet, lyrical, and pom, really whatever and wherever he was needed in the routine.
Trey was born to dance onstage.
Trey wasn't an addict, and he did not do drugs. Trey went to a friend's house on the night
of September 20, 2022, and somehow ended up ingesting five times the lethal limit of
fentanyl. We do not know what Trey thought he was taking. Caffeine pill, Adderall, over
the counter pain reliever, but whatever it was, it was not what he thought. It was pure
fentanyl.
Trey was a homeschool graduate class of 2022. Trey was just starting to experience life
when it was cut short. Trey will never get to grow up, meet his one special person, and be
a father. Trey was a wonderful brother, had a whole gang of friends, and loved his
momma. Trey’s death has shattered his family and friends.
Trey, and everyone else who has lost their life to this drug, are casualties of war. Will you
help the healing by putting up a Memorial Wall in their honor?
Thank you for your consideration,
Becky Smith
