I spent my entire youth waiting for your next project to come out, listening to them thousands times... I just learned that you and your brother passed away, and I am deeply sorry. I have always seen your music not as standalone art, but one manifestation of a broader attitude towards life: exploring intellectual horizons. You were one of very few people who inspired me for the way forward, and I cannot thank you enough for that. Rest in light.

So sorry to hear of Trent's passing. I went through school with him and played trombone along side him. He was always nice, and he had such great things he accomplished in music.

Sorry to hear of Trent's passing. Shocked really. He was a good Officer and someone you wanted around in a tight spot. Not sure if he ever liked his nick name Gummy Bear, but it seamed to fit. A tuff cop when he needed to be, never backing down in a fight, but soft on the inside. He was a good man.
