The latest news from around North Texas.
Police said right now, they don't have evidence that a criminal offense occurred, and it appears to be a tragic accident.
“He was too young. He had so much more to live for," said Carl David Blaylock, Tray's dad. "I will always miss him. Always miss him."
He said his son was a good kid who never got into trouble, and had a lot of love.
“He loved his fiancé... he loved the baby coming, I mean, just, a very loving person," Carl said.
Tray and his fiancé had already named their baby Leilani Marie Blaylock. The name is Hawaiian, a nod to one of the places on Tray's travel bucket list.
“He was working to save every penny he can for the baby," Carl said.
Perhaps Tray's biggest accomplishment of his life is still to come.
“He wanted Leilani to have the best life that he didn’t have. He wanted to give her everything that he couldn’t," Jasmine said.
