Once given a second chance at life through a double-lung transplant, Trey Schwab made his mark in the years that followed by trying to help others in similar circumstances receive that same opportunity.
Schwab's quest ended Sunday, a little more than 12 years after receiving his transplant, as he died from complications stemming from the rejection of those lungs.
He was 50.
A native of Nowata, Okla., Schwab's connection to Milwaukee dates back to the summer of 2001, when he was hired to Tom Crean's staff as special assistant for the Marquette University men's basketball team after stints in the CBA and with the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves.
