Trent is deeply loved and will be greatly missed. Trent's laugh will always be something we remember. He was so fun and always cracking jokes and making us laugh. He was so smart and could fix anything. Trent was a carpenter, loved playing the guitar and creating beautiful things with his hands. He loved being outside in nature and in the mountains. Oh T! We will miss you forever! We love you!

A private event to scatter Trent's remains will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that you honor this moment by taking time to express love and appreciation to those you hold dear.
