All would agree Trevor was the most loyal, reliable friend, sibling, and son. Everyone knew that if Trevor was called upon for help of any kind, he would drop everything and would be there for you without hesitation. He was the definition of selfless and was kind hearted. He gave without thought for recompence. Trevor had a great wit "" he"d also would be the first to laugh at himself! As well, Trevor was stubborn and you could bank on him to argue his beliefs "" it didn"t even matter if he was right or wrong! Trevor was also known as a "˜walking sports encyclopedia". There isn"t a single stat that he couldn"t recite "" and that was any sport! You will never meet anyone who was more open, proud and proclaimed of his love for his country and posed the perfect picture of a true American. Trevor was a most unique individual who"s passing will ever be held with sorrow for missing his smile, hearing his contagious laughter, looking at his astonishing beard, hearing his distinct voice, and all the endless ways he touched our hearts.
