Trey Lewis’ Dad
Trey Lewis’ dad’s name is Lewis Edward Thomason II. Now, Trey’s father is late; he lost his dad in June 2014, when he was 26 years old. His dad, Lewis Edward Thomason II, born May 16, 1961, was, at the time of his death, 53 years old.
To celebrate what would have been his father’s 64th birthday on May 16, 2025, and nearly 11 years after death, Trey took to Instagram to eulogize his dad, sharing a picture of him (little Trey), his dad, Lewis Edward Thomason II, and his grandfather, Lewis Edward Thomason, who he calls “Pawpaw,” with the caption:
Today, Lewis Edward Thomason II would have turned 64. Most people knew him as “Ed,” but to me, he was simply Dad.
In June, it will be 11 years since I last saw him, and I miss him every single day. I carry his memory with me and know he’s proud of the man I’ve become.
Lately, I’ve found myself reflecting on him and my pawpaw. My true last name is Thomason, and I’m beginning to understand what that name truly represents. I’m working on something meaningful to honor them—stay tuned for some cool things coming soon!
Personal Background
Trey grew up in Alabama and didn’t start playing guitar until after completing rehab for alcohol addiction. He credits his sobriety; which he has maintained for nearly two decades, as one of his biggest achievements.

Well, after he got clean, he rebuilt his relationship with his father, and did, in fact, admit that he and his father became buddies post his addiction (after he got clean).

Now, in the aftermath of his drug addiction, and his subsequent move to Nashville, Tennessee, he began performing live, writing songs, and connecting with other up-and-coming artists.
He previously lived with fellow musician and longtime friend Ella Langley, though their busy touring schedules often kept them apart while they lived together. Now, he lives with his girlfriend, Brooke Dobson, who he adores so much.
