When he was 6 years old he won the first of 3 consecutive Bicycle Rodeo's at his elementary school. He was so ambitious.

He met his wife Kimberly in 10th grade Spanish class at Churchill High School in 1987. They dated for most of their high school years. Although they went their separate ways for a time; Trent went to Texas Tech University to study environmental engineering and Kim stayed here and went into the family business. They reunited and were married in 2006 on the beach in George Town, Grand Cayman surrounded by family and friends.

Trent loved to travel. He began traveling with his parents to exotic places like Belize, Egypt and the Red Sea. At the age of 15 he became a certified scuba diver. They went scuba diving throughout the Caribbean for many years. He shared his love of travel with his wife. In 2001 they backpacked through Europe for 2 weeks along with other family and friends.

He made a tandem parachute jump and a bungee jump. He was a great cook and did all of the cooking at home. He liked motorcycles and had several over the years. He also started running marathons in 2013 and was very active, running usually 2 marathons a year for the past 10 years.In 2011 Trent quit his job in sales to be a stay at home father to raise his twin boys, Connor and Carson. He decorated their room with dinosaurs and cartoon cars. He enrolled them in swimming, soccer, little league baseball at McAlister Park, basketball, track and guitar lessons. None of which they cared for very much. He finally found something they enjoyed - martial arts. He taught them marksmanship, how to fish, how to ride a bike and how to behave. He was always showing them science and space books and tv shows and teaching them about space and our galaxy. He was a great dad.

With his love of the outdoors, he took the family on at least 2 vacations a year. They were regulars at the beach in Port A. He loved snow skiing, the beach and everything in between. They bought a travel trailer in 2017 and practically lived in that thing for 2 summers in a row; going on over 20 camping trips in the first 2 years. He took the boys camping, fishing, kayaking and more any chance he could. One of the last projects he worked on was building a tree fort with the boys at the family ranch.

Trent had recently bought a Harley Davidson Road Glide motorcycle and was a Full Member of the H.O.G. – Harley Owners Group. He would ride every Sunday morning while Kimberly took the boys to church and was on that bike every opportunity he had. He even started attending the motorcycle rallies.

Trent tried to make the world a better place by being the best person he knew how to be. He touched more lives than he knew and will be missed by so many people.
