I never met him but I remember being a student at Sandy Hook and seeing all the shirts and events in support of him and hoping he would be ok; I´m only two years older than him, but it was like every grade knew him and was hoping for him.
The other week I suddenly remembered him and my mom informed me that sadly he didn´t make it. Today I saw a skate park will be built as tribute to him, which is so awesome. I don´t live in Strasburg anymore but I think it´s a wonderful plan. May Trents memory be a blessing and I hope his family is doing well

I never met T-man but seeing him on Facebook seemed like we had been friends forever.
I knew him hin my heart he will always be remembered. I loved seeing his pictures,we both had loved panda bears. I wish I could have met him,but I know I will one day.
To his family and friends I pray you have peace and lovely memories of T-Man.
May he rest in peace and one day buddy we will see each other. God Bless

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I am so sorry for your lose. Trent is a while known individual and will be missed by all the world. My granddaughter is in remission right now from Brikets Lymphoma which is cancer. I worry about her all the time, she has to go to U.V.A for her scans to make sure it doesn't or hasn't returned yet. They say if it does that it will be in a different type of cancer like lukemia. I cherish everyday that I have with her.Ashley is 10 years old now she was 4years old at the time of her cancer. My heart goes out to you and your family may God bless you and may God cherish eternity with Trent and all the other angles.

This young man has made a huge impact on our family. We live right down the street and have been here for 3 years this year. I remember the 1st time my son who was 2 at the time now 4, drove past Trent and Logan on his blue 4 wheeler the boys were mesmerized. Hunter spoke with them, it was just adorable........Sadly, Trent passed the same day and the same time of the morning that my 81 yr old grandfather passed, and both of cancer. I wish we took more walks....I wish that we let them ride with Hunter on the blue 4 wheeler.... But I am certain Trent is riding power wheels and eating crabs unlimited right now :) I Actually personally met Logan 3 days ago, he is SUCH a wonderful kid....I wish so badly we got to know you all better. My prayers are with you and we will be seeing you. I know T-man is safe with my Papa, my Grandpa and Grandma, my best friend Mike and any of his family members. They know how much he has touched our families hearts and they absolutely greeted him with arms wide open.

He is a marvelous lil guy who been threw & experienced what 10 men could. He was a strong person & he has shined his light to those of many. People who knew or knew of him have a bigger heart then before! He was truly God's angel from Heaven sent here to show the love & compassion 1 can imprint on someone. He has made us all a little more aware of God's precious gifts at hand we take for granted for when we shouldn't. Trent was a wonderful little boy. He deserves all the best in the world. He is now in God's hands playing with the pandas. May he RIP. God bless each & everyone of you in these hard times!
