Trey Yingst’s Parents, Gerald, And Debbie, Raised Him And His Twin Sister With Great Values

Intrepid war reporter Trey Yingst is one of two children of his proud parents, Gerald and Debbie. His incredible reporting skills, even in the most challenging conditions of War, grabbed him the global spotlight. There is no denying that his dad and mom were the ones who instilled in him work ethics.

While Yingst set sights on journalism, his twin sister, Aly, pursued her career as a marine biologist.

A skilled and enthusiastic journalist since his university days, Trey took a severe note after co-founding News2Share with his friend. His next step to success came after he joined OANN as a Chief White House Correspondent, accompanied by veterans like Jim Acosta, Glenn Trush, etc.

In 2018, Trey signed with Fox News and worked as the channel’s foreign correspondent in Jerusalem. However, his mother is no longer in this world to cheer him on and cherish his success—she died in November 2022.

“My mother, Debbie Yingst, passed away on Thanksgiving day. She was an incredible human who taught me much about empathy and selflessness. She spent years as a social worker and loved helping people. In her honor, I’d ask that you do something kind for someone today.”

Debbie (b. November 19, 1953) was 69 years old at the time of death.
