Trevor Doran Obituary

Trevor was blessed with many gifts, one of his greatest gifts was his willingness to help anyone, family, friends, and even strangers, Trevor wouldn?t let you say no. At 16, he convinced the Red Cross to let him help when Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans, even though you needed to be 18. He wouldn?t even let the Red Cross say no. Trevor volunteered with the Get On The Bus program, and was so involved that the company that ran the private buses wanted to hire him. To help his sister, he became a member of the IFC in Chowchilla. Trevor was always the first one there and the last one to leave.

Trevor loved many people and things in his life; his sister Melissa, his Grandparents, his family, his friends and me. He also loved this country and so wanted to serve in the US Marine Corp. Trevor loved to fly and obtained his private pilot?s license and anyone who knew him, knew he loved his Cobras. Trevor was also passionate about justice, politics, and animals.

Trevor was always smiling, always making someone laugh. When I was upset he would start singing and dancing, no matter where we were, and it was that song from Dodge Ball, ?Milkshake?. Ugh! But I did laugh.

Trevor was an amazing, beautiful young man; smart, kind, loving, giving and I will miss him forever.

God saw you getting tired and healing was not to be. So he put His arms around you and whispered ?Come to Me?. With tearful eyes we watched you, as you slipped away, and though we loved you deeply, we could not make you stay. Your beautiful heart stopped beating, your tired mind put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best!

I love you,
Mom

I am waiting behind at Paul's place drive-thru right now and I saw the sticker celebrating the memory of Trevor Doran. It is not uncommon for me to Google search the names of the people and read about it, but reading Trevor's made me more emotional than any other one. They say you can tell a lot about looking at someone's eyes, and I see a truly good person. I am sorry for your loss. Reading about him almost brought a tear to my eye, I do not have enough courage to say anything to you, therefore I'm writing here. My condolences to Trevor's family, rest in peace Trevor.

It is hard to believe that 5 years have passed since you went home to the Lord. I can visualize you still dancing and singing in heaven. May God rest your soul and may your family find peace. I still remember how very excited you were when you got your driver's license. You made me laugh.

Dear Vicki, Melissa and family, I am so deeply sorry for the loss of Trevor. I remember the day he told me he just got his drivers license, while at coffee & doughnuts at St. Cornelius. I asked him if he would do me a favor. His reply was 'sure'. I asked him to wait at the church parking lot for the next 20 minutes, until I got home before he got behind the wheel. His response was that big beautiful smile. His memory will go on forever. I pray that your heart will heal as time goes on. Buddy is probably holding him in his arms, dressed as Santa. God Bless.

Trevor was working on becoming a private pilot and took me on a flight to SLO airport, while trying to land the the plane we had a crosswind of 15 mph which was the limit to land safely. The little plane was sideways 100 ft off the ground I thought wee going to die haha but last second turned it straight and landed with the biggest smile
He looks back and says did you see that
Haha hell yea brotha
Thanks Trevor for touching my life
You will never leave my Heart Brother

Prayers and condolences to the family and friends of Trevor. I met Trevor only a few times. He appeared to be just as so many have described, a very nice person and a respectful son.

I am so sorry for your loss.

Sincerely,
Pam

Trevor was always a happy go lucky guy who loved his Harley and whatever car of the month he had. It had been a few years since I had seen him but he was always the first to offer whatever he had to his friends. I will never forget his generosity and sense of humor. There's a moment in particular where he was the only person to pull me out of a tough situation and helped get me home safely. Always kind hearted and full of adventure. My heart breaks for his mom and sister as they go through this time. Please know what that he was respected and loved by many. We will see you again in the afterlife. Xox

Years ago when Trevor was about 10 years old, Vicki, Trevor and I went on a trip to Cabo San Lucas. As any 10 year old would, he was having a great time in the pool and hanging out on the beach and playing in the waves and sand. We did all the usual things people do in Cabo, eat, Jet Ski, shopping, relax and fishing.

But it was when we went panga fishing for Roosterfish close to shore that I saw something in him that most people neither have in life nor demonstrate.

Roosterfish are a very good fighting fish, and we were having fun taking turns reeling in the average size fish. Then it was Trevor's turn and he hooked a really big one. Anyone who's ever caught a Roosterfish can attest to how hard they fight, and Trevor was definitely in for a fight. After about 10 minutes fighting a fish about half his weight, he asked if I could help him reel it in. So I asked him these questions...are you going to take photos of the fish? He said yes. Then I asked him...do you want to tell everyone who will see the photos of this monster that you caught it by yourself or someone else helped you reel it in?

No words were said, he answered me with a look in his eyes of determination and willpower that someone his age rarely shows.

After about another 10 minutes and completely exhausted, Trevor reeled in his fish all by himself. I'll never forget how proud he was of his accomplishment, not to mention Vicki's proud look for her young son.

Trevor's determination and character were never in doubt, whether as a child or as a young man he was a one in a million individual who always showed the people around him how he cared and loved them. He will forever be remembered and loved as that determined young man with a sparkle in his eye. We are all looking forward to seeing Trevor again when we are reunited in Heaven

God Bless You,

Trevor,

I will always remember the smile and wave as I passed you at lunch during school. You have been a part of our lives for so many years there are so many great stories to choose from. Thank you for being such a great, loving friend to my brother. You are and always will be a member of our family. Your amazing smile and laugh will be with me forever!

Trevor -

What a brilliant young man you'd become. I had the privilege of watching you grow up. Clever, quick witted, kind hearted, giving to a fault and a friend to all. I enjoyed every conversation - from flying to politics to changing the world. From everything to nothing. What a joy you were to hang out with. Then there was that cat . . . Tommy. I can still remember him bouncing off of every wall in the Utah house. I never trusted him - but like everyone else Trevor - he loved you. I'm proud of you Trevor. I always have been, I always will be. Know that I will carry your memory with love in my heart.

Always,

"Uncle" Jeff

My nephew. We were privileged to share your short life every summer that you came to visit us in Maui. Fishing, boating, snorkeling and diving in those beautiful warm waters...oh, the sunsets we shared! I will cherish those memories always.

I knew Trevor through our mutual friend Nicole Woody. He stayed with us when we were roommates and he was such a pleasure to have around. His laugh and his smile were so infectious. I loved having him around. My heart goes out to everyone that loved him. I am truly sorry he is gone. He will be missed by many.
