Thank you for your service

Trenton served in the armed forces. We honor that service here.

Life story

Trenton was born the 2nd of 4 children with a sister just younger than him; he was the middle of 3 boys.

Trenton exemplified the phrase "a boy is a joy".

Trenton loved spending time with his grandparents & outdoors (especially in water & boating).

Trenton learned about mechanics working along side his grandpa on the Jr. Dragster he raced. This grew into a love of welding and resulted in earning his CTE chords in high school.

He went on to work for a local steel erecting company prior to leaving for military service.

Trenton was a great friend and inspired many. He was definitely a positive influence in the world.

He leaves behind a legacy of love as an organ donor. The kids of his life saved the lives of 4 others and will help advance medical research. You may be gone, but NEVER forgotten.

Running

I remember one time at Grandpa's house we were all gathered for a party for something and we all wondered where Trent had disappeared to. We could not find him for like an hour until he showed back up and it turned out he just wanted to go for a run and then came back. I remember he liked to run. He was a character and fun to be around even though he was real quiet.

Trenton the Marine

I remember Trenton when he came back from boot camp for Christmas, he was so happy, he carried himself with such confidence and maturity. It was like he found himself. I was very impressed grateful that he choose the marine corps.

Infectious Smile

Trenton had a smile that was infectious! When you saw it you could not help smiling yourself. He willingly shared it with anyone. Sharing it was something he had to work on because earlier in his life he was shy. But with hard work and a belief in who he was he began to willingly share and those around him were better for it!
