Mr. Leotis "Trey" Palmer III

Leotis Palmer III (Trey) was born on August 13, 2009 to Veronica Crespin Palmer and Leotis Palmer Jr. in Torrance, California. Trey was a happy and exuberant baby who grew into a highly energetic child who exhibited a talent for any type of sport early on. Whether it was football, basketball, or baseball like his dad he needed only to watch a few plays before he could go out on the field or court and quickly master the sport. Like his mom he had a keen eye for choreography and could easily dance to most any type of music. He was a member of the Rocky Mountain Prep dance team for more than 5 years. He and his sister Avianna won awards in RMP talent shows where Veronica served as their choreographer. Trey played the drums, was teaching himself the piano, and played saxophone in the DPS Citywide Honor Band. Like both his parents, Trey was a scholar. He had excellent grades in all subjects but was particularly gifted in math, where he has worked a year above grade level for the last couple of years. He planned to become an engineer. Trey was always a teacher favorite thanks to his incredible work ethic and unwavering intellectual curiosity. Whether it was athletics or academics, you wanted Trey Palmer on your team - and there are many teams out there who will feel his absence. Trey is survived by his parents, Veronica and Leotis Palmer, his sister Avianna, his grandparents, Vince and Paula Crespin and Leotis and Maggie Palmer, his Great Grandmother Alberta Liebert, Aunt and Uncle Calvin and LaToya Williams, his Uncle Vince and Aunt Ryan Crespin and his Uncle Aldrin Palmer, along with his cousins, Teyana Williams and Amelia Crespin. He also has countless great aunts, uncles, and cousins in both Colorado and Georgia. His best friends, Daylen Morrow and Camden Ross will surely miss him as well. Trey dearly loved spending time with his family, friends, teammates, and classmates.
