Dear Papa,

I love you so much. So many memories spill into my mind when I think of you. I want to thank you for being my daddy, and for loving me so much. I wish that you were still here so I could share the rest of my experiences in life with you. My heart already breaks that you won’t be there at my college graduation, to walk me down the aisle, or to just call me every day. We

Dear Papa,

I love you so much. So many memories spill into my mind when I think of you. I want to thank you for being my daddy, and for loving me so much. I wish that you were still here so I could share the rest of my experiences in life with you. My heart already breaks that you won’t be there at my college graduation, to walk me down the aisle, or to just call me every day. We have so many similarities, and for that I am so thankful. My love of reading is because of you, you read me my first Harry Potter book and many, many other books at our nightly story time. You will always be the smartest man I have ever known, I miss the days we used to watch Jeopardy together with Mom and you knew almost every answer. I miss throwing snowballs at the shed in the winter and playing catch in the backyard in the spring and summer. I remember we used to eat ice cream every night at 5:15, and then we would call Grandma at 6:15. I miss waking up to you and Mom playing Skip-bo every morning. Everything I look at seems to spark up another memory. Mom and I loved you so very much, and we miss you terribly. But although I miss you, I know that you will always be in my heart. I love you. Je t’aime boucoup.

Your little girl,

Dest

Where do i start with my friendship with Trent.? We were inseparable friends throughout our life . Our families had such uncanny similarities that is was only fitting that were more like brothers. We were much alike but his knowledge that of a Jeopardy opponent the similarities stop there.

Where do i start with my friendship with Trent.? We were inseparable friends throughout our life . Our families had such uncanny similarities that is was only fitting that were more like brothers. We were much alike but his knowledge that of a Jeopardy opponent the similarities stop there. From our road trips to chilling at the beach or playing on same little league team we had so much in common. We once went to Dodger game that we so loved and when when pitcher was doing badly Trent would stand up and yell "Yank the bum " and everyone around us would cheer and chime in . He was animated to say the least.
Stories? yep, to many to tell of a lifetime with Trent. I could write a book and maybe i will. I would need Trent as my ghost writer , pardon the pun.
Trent had a great sense of humor and a literary mind . i was always there when he read his first place winning essay he read on stage along with the debate team in which he excelled.
To say Trent was unique and intelligent and sometimes complex would be an understatement. He loved his books of history, the wild west, love of movies and music. A writer , a poet, a man of many gifts that he kept hidden from many. A loss of individuality and the values of the west that he would always take the bus, with newspaper tucked under his arms. He refused to adapt to the hi tech modern world of social life. He often had a sadness about him that weighed him down and tore at his soul.. brilliant , yes, complicated, yes. A true friend he was indeed. I will miss our conservations at the local pub on rainy days .I will miss the Trent I knew so well.

Our thoughts and prayers to your sweet family. We are all blessed with life and it sounds as if Trent lived his life to the fullest! God bless you Trent. A wonderful tribute by a wonderful brother.

My condolences to Trent's family and brother Geoff. I haven't seen Trent since high school days, and judging from his photo, he doesn't look all that much different. I'll always remember Trent as being fairly fearless and wish him well on his latest journey.
