Trent was a vibrant and artistic soul whose passion for creativity touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him. He found immense joy in the simple pleasures of life, particularly in his love for coloring and crafting. His artistic spirit shone through in every project he undertook, leaving behind a legacy of beautifully crafted memories.
Known for his infectious sense of humor, Trent had a remarkable talent for being the life of the party.

Beyond his artistic pursuits and sense of humor, Trent was a caring and uplifting presence in the lives of those around him. Whether offering a helping hand or a kind word, Trent had a way of brightening even the darkest days.
Trent's greatest source of happiness was his children, whom he adored beyond measure. They have fond memories of going on bike rides, walks, and shooting BB guns by the railroad tracks with him. Trent's ability to create a sense of belonging made him not only a beloved father but also a cherished friend and family member. He was a treasured father, son, brother, uncle, and friend and will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
