"Trey" Crites III of Garland, Texas passed away on Monday, November
19, 2012 in California unexpectedly during a business trip. Trey was born

Trey was living his dream
and enjoying life as an independent semi-truck operator for K Truck Lines, Inc.
The family wishes to thank his friends for all the kind words of support and
for loving him in this life that was all too short.
For those who knew Trey,
you know that he would not want tears of sadness to mark this occasion. Always
quick with a line or comeback, Trey would prefer a celebration of life and
laughter recalling memories of days past. In his honor, a celebration of Trey's
life will be hosted by the family pending final arrangements.

partner in life, Valerie Bromberg; mother Mary Lee Crites Norman and father,
James Norman; brothers Jim, Ricky and David Norman; sister Margie Norman
Oliver; and numerous aunts, nieces, nephews and extended family.
