In memory of Trey Cryer
Counselor
We said farewell to our beloved friend Trey Cryer in 2018. Trey Cryer, MS, RRT, CAPwas a member of the Beachcomber therapy staff for over 20 years and a close friend of our founder, Jim Bryan. Trey was known for his “open door” access for all clients and noted for his serious and firm dedication to those in recovery. Trey often said: “The Beachcomber program is the finest I’ve ever encountered.” Trey was a beacon of inspiration and helped countless people who had lost their way or were going to give up on the road of recovery. We miss Trey, but his spirit lives on inspiring new generations to find freedom in recovery.
