Trey Marcus Paul Fourstar, “Wachaga Yuza” (Carries the Sweetgrass), age 21, passed away on December 25, 2021 in Williston, ND. He was born on June 9, 2000 to Honey Bernard Redboy and Victor Fourstar, Jr. in Wolf Point, MT.
Trey grew up in a house of 4 in Wolf Point on the west end of town with his older brothers, Chad and Brad Fourstar. Growing up with his brother’s outgoing ways and their participation in sports paved a path for Trey’s participation in sports throughout high school. Trey’s love of basketball started at a young age. He traveled to numerous places for tournaments with his best friend/brother, Joseph Williamson. Alysia Williamson and his grandmother Judy were his biggest fans. Trey also developed a love for cross-country that spanned from junior high to college.
Trey joined MYC his sophomore year of high school, from which he graduated in June 2017. Cookie Ragland was a big support to Trey through MYC and high school. Trey worked for Agland “Swagland” during high school. This is where he grew a love for his work family. Trey’s special friend was Sophie Rasmussen, whom he married. He later found work with Key Energy and he met work friend Francisco Rosas. He was a hard worker and was a positive role model to many. He touched many lives during the little time we had with him. Trey will be missed dearly.

Trey was a very nice young man, and very intelligent.
We got the privilege to work with him and he had a fantastic work ethic and attitude. I am very saddened to be writing this but I know he will be fine. He was always happy to learn something new. He would work a full day with us and then go to his other job at night and work. Great sense of humor as well. RIP Trey , Thanks
Walker Weeks says
RIP Trey, you were a very intelligent and hard working young man with a bright future. I always told you that someday you would be your own boss because you were a go getter. You would work a full day with us and then go to your night job.
Thank you for your hard work, I know your in good hands.
RIP buddy.

I had the priveledge of watching Trey grow as an athlete through sports. Coaching Middle School Basketball and Varsity Cross Country in Poplar, we always ended up competing against this young man. He grew into such a determined, competitive, strong willed, self disciplined, respectful athlete. I was very happy to hear when he signed to run for Dawson Community College. A warrior spirit for sure. Prayers for anyone whos lives have been blessed in a good way by this young man.
Respectfully

Honey and boys, and Sister Becky Douglas and family, I was totally heart sick to hear of Treys passing💔💔💔, he had stopped by a couple months ago to pick up Zach and we had a nice visit.. He was always so kind and polite, he was admiring a star quilt I had hanging on my quilt rack and after he left I thought gee I should have gave it to him, I will always regret that😔. I have only good memories of him. I love each of you, and you always have been, and will continue to be in my prayers. Much love and prayers from all of us.

Rest in peace, young king. Your loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers.
Marva says
My condolences, thoughts and many prayers to Trey’s family. I had the opportunity to work with Trey at Albertsons, I was sooooo impressed by this young man. He moved up in the ranks quite fast and I was very proud of him for that. He will be missed by many, he was a joy to be around with that smile and his caring and happy spirit. Rest in peace my little buddy.
John and Stacey summets says
It was a pleasure to watch Trey compete on the track, cross country course and basketball court as he competed for Wolf Point. He was happy upbeat kid always positive and fun to be around. What I most asmired was he was a good influence on the younger kids serving as a mentor in practice and even though he graduated always had good words of advice to the younger athletes that looked up to him. He was such a hard worker and we were proud of his accomplishments earning a cross country scholarship to Dawson college. RIP Trey and condolences to his family and friends.
