Raymon Byron Carlock III, otherwise known as Trey, was born on September 30, 1990 to R. Byron Carlock II and Laura (Barker) Carlock. Attending
Cistercian Preparatory School and later
Highland Park High School in the
Dallas area, Carlock was a
National Merit Scholar who excelled in sports as a child, including football, tennis, lacrosse, and cross-country. It was during this period in life he attended
Kanakuk Kamps in
Branson, Missouri, where he came into contact with Pete Newman. According to his family, Newman abused Trey from the time he was 7 to the age of 17. Newman was later convicted of sexually abusing other campers and sentenced to two life terms in prison. Trey sought legal action against Kanakuk in relation to his abuse, but due to signing a non-disclosure agreement was unable to share his story. Trey graduated
summa cum laude from
Harding University and pursued a career in neuroscience research, holding internships at
Harvard University, the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and
Center for BrainHealth. He was also in the process of obtaining a Master’s degree from the
University of Texas at Dallas. However, Trey was never able to heal from the experience he had at Kanakuk. On August 2019, Trey died by suicide. == Legislation ==
