Remember when we were little kids in Lockwood Valley? We used to get in trouble all the time. From playing in that big black mountain of tar/pothole/ whatever it was. Then there was the time we decided to paint the treehouse on your side with cans of spray paint we found in the utility room next to the bunkhouse. We had a lot of fun back then. So many fun things, too much to mention.
You will always be here, just a thought away. I'm hope you are at peace now and no more pain or any other issues.
You were a good man Trevor, I'm sure God is happy to have you there with him. Love ya man!

Dearest Deanna, Sarah, Tom, Eli and Sammy: We love you with all our hearts and are so blessed to have loved and called your dad - Son - for almost 20 years. The time Grammy and I spent with all of you at your house, our house, the beach, hunting, fishing, the cabin and more are priceless and precious. Grammy had the most time with your dad and all of you, making sure there was never more than weeks betwen getting together. I wish I had more time with him but the times I did are so important to me and I will never forget them. We are honored to be your Grandparents and not only love your mom and each one of you but respect you and see in each of you, your dad's passion for God, and our family. We love your dad and will always seek to honor him for his heart that remains in the center of our family. We love you Trevor. Rest in peace. Love, Papa and Grammy

I'm at a loss for words. Growing up with you was fun, especially in Lockwood Valley. Boy could we find trouble playing in the mountain of tar. finding the spray paint and decorating our tree house. Jumping off the chicken coop. Fun times. Woth the memories, wish God hasn't called you home just yet. Now you are the guardian angel for your children. Miss you man.
