Trey’s Story

Site created on February 11, 2019

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.


Trey was involved in a one car accident due to icy roads while returning to college on February 10, 2019 after a weekend at home.  After being transported to Kettering  Hospital he quickly underwent surgery for the serious injury to his chest, shoulder and arm.  The bones in his arm were shattered and there was extensive vascular damage that they attempted to repair the best they could.  It is still unknown what the nerve damage involves.  Prayers are requested.

Journal entry by Jodi Uetrecht

Hello CaringBridge family!

It's been over three years since Trey's accident in February of 2019, yet so many of you have remained steadfastly praying for him and want to know how he's doing.  Well, they say a picture is worth a 1,000 words so a video should be even better!  I wish I could just put the link here for you to see; however, I can now only attach YouTube videos on this site. In order to see it, simply Google "IU Health Trey Uetrecht." This video was put out by Indiana University Health, where Trey has gone for physical therapy since he returned to Ball State.  We didn't know they were making this, but it shows how far Trey has come and continues to progress. 

On another note, Ball State's  sports communications department, Sports Link, heard about Trey's story and incredibly made a 1/2 hour documentary about his story.  The producers spent a weekend with us interviewing almost 20 people associated with Trey's accident.  This staff's kindness, compassion, and dedication was beyond what we could ever have imagined, as they truly wanted to tell his story.   For Trey, it was imperative that God was at the center of it all.  They honored his wish.  A short trailer of the documentary was released last week with the full version being made available for everyone to see this Wednesday, May 25 at 8pm.  You will be able to find it on Trey's, Kasey's or Tyler's social media or on YouTube.  Simply Google "Trey Uetrecht Thy Will Be Done."

To all of you, THANK YOU! You all have been instrumental in this production with your faithfulness and prayers.  Even now God continues to use this story for His glory, and we are so grateful for it all.  Truly, only the Great Almighty could orchestrate this.  We pray these videos touch those who view it and, perhaps, lead them to the Lord.
