I am saddened to hear of the passing of Trey Stephens. I had the joy of working with Trey at Acxiom. He brought creativity, enthusiasm, and high energy to everything he did. He was always thinking about how to make the company, and our little department - better. Trey helped me to be a better person and a better friend. I will miss Trey, as I am sure many others will.
Trey was a dear and trusted friend for over fourteen years and a prince of a man.
I had the good fortune of meeting him when I arrived in Northwest Arkansas not knowing a soul. He generously welcomed me into his terrific group of friends.
More recently, had the privilege of working with him and watched in awe as he changed the retail landscape through the El Toro.
Trey loved his friends and cherished his family. His insatiable spirit of adventure was contagious.
My deepest sympathies to the entire family. He will be missed but continues to inspire.
Trey was a great friend. I spent 9 years in Arkansas and like the Razorbacks or Bentonville Square, it is hard for me to imagine the place without these landmarks, and Trey was one of the state landmarks. From the moment I met him, he made sure I learnt about all the wonderful things his home had to offer. Trey was Arkansas’ greatest fan and biggest ambassador.
I spent countless times with Trey, he welcomed me in his home and he made me feel that I belonged there even though I was born 7000 miles away. I feel a great void with his passing, and I am sure all the people that knew him feel the same way.
To his parents and Kim and the rest of family and friends,I have no wise words that can help you get you through this. Nothing I can say can alleviate the pain we all feel. But at least we can all be proud of the son that you raised, the husband and and father he became and the wonderful friend and human being he was.

I was just crushed to hear of Trey's passing. We worked together only a few months, did great things together, we were inventing new businesses, making plans, and he was coming up to St Louis to whiteboard a bunch of stuff together literally today. We were emailing back and forth just Friday night and I was looking forward to us meeting up, but alas, we'll have to keep that date in heaven where I'm quite sure he is.
My heartfelt prayers to all his friends and family.

Mr.and Mrs. Stephens, we lived down the street from you in Russellville and my son Mike Merritt and your Trey were good friends and have remained so through all of these many years. Practically, every Christmas, Trey would stop by our house to see Michael while Michael was here from his home in Atlanta, so we got to see him then. My husband and I loved Trey; he was a kind and beautiful soul. My heart breaks for you both.
