Trey Ehrhardt Memorial Endowment

William Henry Ehrhardt, III, “Trey”, was born in 1983 and raised in San Antonio, Texas. He grew up in Northeast San Antonio and attended Woodstone Elementary School, Wood Middle School, and Madison High School. Trey was truly a scholars-athlete, always receiving high marks in his studies and avidly participating in sports. He played little league baseball from the age of six until the age of sixteen when he was also on the Madison JV baseball team. During his middle school years he participated in Pop Warner football and was a member of a team that competed in the national competition in Florida during his eight grade year. Throughout these years Trey continued to receive “scholar-athlete” awards for his academic achievements. 

 Trey attended Madison High School and continued to demonstrate his scholar-athlete abilities. He played four years of football, two on the Varsity. He was a quarterback for three years and a strong safety for one. He played as a catcher and an outfielder for three years of Madison baseball including one year on the Varsity. Academically Trey placed in the top 10% of his graduating class having taken many Honors and AP courses. His academic interests included mathematics, computer science, science, and debate. He graduated from Madison in 2002. Trey’s ranking in the top 10% of his class guaranteed him a seat in any Texas public university of which his only choice and only application was to UT Austin. 

 Trey thrived in the UT environment. With his outgoing personality, overall good nature, and general air of happiness and helpfulness to other he made many new friends. He joined the Zeta Psi Fraternity, lived at the house after his freshman year, and served as treasurer and “rush” co-chairman for several semesters. Trey participated in intramural softball, basketball, and flag football with his fraternity and his pledge class was successful enough to be included on the Gregory Gym Intramural Wall of Fame. Trey was well liked and attended many sorority and fraternity formals, socials, and mixers, as well as themed parties. He could make anyone feel comfortable because of his “as like where you are, that’s the place to be” attitude. Trey continued to maintain his academic achievements while majoring in Applied Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science. He loved computers and was never content to buy one off the shelf, but had custom designed several to meet his needs. 

Trey’s unexpected death in his senior year was a tragic loss for his family and friends.
