Trent Nicholson Obituary

In loving memory of Trent Robert Nicholson; a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and best friend. Trent was born in June 1995 along with his wonderful twin sister. God decided to take Trent to heaven Thursday, March 25, 2010. Trent had loved to play baseball ever since he was a child. He was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when he was four years old. He was always determined to grow up and find a cure for diabetes, be a diabetes specialist and become a professional baseball player. Trent had a great happy life. He lived every day as if it was his last - his life was full of joy and he lived it to the fullest. Our prayers will always be with you Trent. We love you with all the heart we have. Trent is survived by his parents, Bob and Jen; brother, Tyler; twin sister, Tara; grandparents Don and Bert Nicholson, and Jack and Carol Stratton; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Viewing will be from 5 to 7 p.m. with the recitation of the rosary at 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 5, 2010, at Chapel of the Roses, 3450 El Camino in Atascadero. The funeral service will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday, April 6, 2010, at St William''s Catholic Church, 6410 Santa Lucia in Atascadero, with a procession to the burial at Atascadero Cemetery. A reception will follow at the church. A memorial fund is set up at Sesloc Federal Credit Union. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to Trent''s memorial fund or JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) to help with the cure for Type 1 Diabetes.

To the Nicholson Family,

I am a member of CWD and was so saddened to hear of your loss. I had heard many great things about Trent and had hoped that one day my son John who is 11 and was diagnosed in 2009 would meet Trent at FFL. We will keep your family in our prayers.

I did not know Trent or his family. I do know alot about juvenille diabetes. I too have a son that was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 4yrs. He is 9 now and We are blessed to have a great son every day. I know I cannot take away your grief but I do want you to know that I know what it takes to raise a child with this disease and how much work it is for the family also.
I read that Trent wanted to grow up and cure diabetes. He did not get to do this but I think his untimely death will help people realize the importants of a cure for this disease. Please know that Trent is in peace and he has helped keep the fight for a cure going on for children like mine and all over the world.

Our prayers are with you

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I happened to meet Trent the day before he passed away, and he seemed like a great kid. The last thing he told me was "my eyes were going to turn orange from eating too many carrots". I know he was a very loved kid, and he is missed terribly.
