Gorman "Trey" Walton III, 52, of San Antonio, passed away Sunday, February 20, 2022. He was born November 12, 1969, in Cuero to the late Gorman W. Walton Jr. and Jo Ann Post Edge. Trey met his life partner, Steve Eric Gonzales, in 2013 and they made San Antonio their home. Together they enjoyed traveling, gardening, entertaining, and discovering exotic foods. Trey was known for making deliciously spicy salsa, the absolute best cheesecake and many other signature dishes. Some of Trey's favorite traveling ventures were South Padre Island, Alaska, Cozumel, and any cruise port that could take him away!
Trey worked for USAA for over 30 years as a Senior IT Operations Specialist. His talents landed him in the Availability Command Center, where he was a Major Incident Manager (MIM), and quickly earned the title of Senior MIM. He traveled to India and other locations improving his skill on behalf of the company. These skills also enabled him to provide tech support to many family and friends who called often for his help! His handyman skills didn't stop at computers though; he could repair or build anything.
Trey is survived by his life partner, Steve Eric Gonzales of San Antonio; step-father, Willis "Buzz" Edge of Cuero; sisters, Andrea Livesay and husband, Mark, of Austin, Terre Ledet and husband, Rick, of Lockport, LA, and Debbie Webster and husband, Billy, of Rock Springs; brother, Rickey Edge and wife, Belinda, of Lake Jackson; fur babies, Link and Coco of San Antonio and many beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother, Jo Ann Edge.
