It was a true blessing and pleasure to meet such a wonderful intelligent gentleman. I worked with Trent at Baker Hughes many years ago. He was as kind and encouraging as he was knowledgeable. He will truly be missed but never forgotten. He will live on through his treasured memories in the hearts of his beautiful family and friends. My sincere condolences to his loving family. 

Sheri - my heart breaks for you and your family.  The loss of a parent leaves a deep gap in our lives.  He will be missed by you and those who knew him, I am sure.  But, his memories will continue to hold him deep in your hearts.  Hold on to those memories - and bring them out visually when the days are the toughest.  You will find the smiles buried within them.
Blessings  and hugs to you and yours -



I worked with Trent on several projects over the years at Raytheon. A truly great guy, wonderful to work with and incredibly knowledgeable. He will be missed.

Dear Garfield Family,
I have been a co-worker of Trent's for close to 15 years.   We worked on some extremely complex and high-pressure projects, all of which had their ups & downs, but through all of them I knew if we had Trent, we would be OK due to his character, dedication, and basic human nature as a kind person.   On many occasions we would be in very large forums and whether we were working on anything or not, I would seek him out to shake his hand and reminisce. 

So I just wanted you to know that we will miss him too, as a dedicated coworker and friend, very-very much.

Thank you for allowing us his time.

Yours truly.


Trent as I sit here thinking of the times we have shared over the years I reflect on how you would tell me that my future is so bright I need to wear shades. I look at the lives that our love has impacted such as our children and our grandchildren family friends loved ones business partners and fans. Together as a team we have built up an empire that is filled with power greatness and love. I appreciate you respecting my shortcomings and still being my King. Your throne has exceeded this earthly realm to join in with our forefathers and mothers to protect our flock. Our last moments that we shared ended similar to our beginnings. We made our wishes upon the stars and I will continue to watch them come true. With my shades on. Happy Heavenly Valentines Day Pappa Bear with Love Honor and Respect forever Your Katzlady 

Oh Trent, a man who provided me with so many first experiences. You were my first crush, my first kiss, my first lover, my first husband. You taught me how to think outside of the box and that there are many ways to climb the mountain.  I will always remember our first dance with you holding me tight and singing softly in my ear Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On. I will cherish the three children you have given me and the 47 yrs of memories . The Lord has taken you out of your pain and given you your wings. We will meet again my ride or die friend.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy , prayers and condolences to the family of Trent he was such a gentle giant with a warm smile always and pleasant demeanor I remember when my daughter Tiffany (his niece)was young how proud and attentive he always was with her he was Loved by many and will be truly missed by all RIP now TRENT no more suffering Rejoicing with you as heaven welcomes such a beautiful Soul/Caring thoughts will be with the family for a long time to come May the strength of your faith hep you through this difficult time.

                    BRO. TIMMIE

First time I met the man was the summer before he passed.   I learned more knowledge that I as a man could apply to my life in 6 months than I gained obtaining the degree I have and cherish.   Truly a blessing to my now. 

As his nurse . It was a privilege and honor to meet Mr. Garfield , his mannerisms was of a man of valor. My condolences to his family especially his sons . May God send you strength like no other.  Touch even now Lord . As they read this post , send memories of laughter and joy to their hearts . Restore them Lord God.  Keep watch over them , dear Lord. In the mighty name of Jesus.  Open your hearts to  God . I promise you , if you touch Him . He will touch you back . 

You will be missed forever and always. The beautiful moments you shared with us will always speak of the great person that you were. Our uncle is a success – who has lived well, laughed often and loved much, who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children, nieces and nephews who has filled his niche and accomplished his task. Who leaves the world better than he found it, who has never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it, who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. I love you Uncle Trent and will never forget you Papa Bear❤️ Love Thaddia & Carleiece 

I want to send my deepest condolences to Trent’s family.  Please know how much his friends and colleagues appreciate and treasure the memories we were able to share with him.  

Trent will be remembered as a man who greeted everyone with a warm smile, who always had an outstretched hand willing to help someone in need, who had a mind full of knowledge he unselfishly shared, who had a way of infectiously spreading a positive can-do attitude, who cared more about others needs then his own, and who most importantly of all loved his family with all of his heart.  My deepest sympathies.  


We met at work then we became close outside of work.  We shared a number of drinks and laughs.  Wendy is already missing you at the semi annual family dinners.   Till we me meet again, you still owe me a round a golf and shot. I am glad we got to chat a couple week ago.  Its going to take some time for this to sink in for me my friend. 

Trent was my first colleague when I joined the company and he took me right away 'under his wing'.  Very patient and generous to a fault. When I see him up there, I will repay the beer, if he will let me. I am very grateful to have shared this time and place with him. He will be missed a lot.

Trent is a dear colleague and friend. I am grateful for the years we enjoyed collaborating, sharing, laughing (mostly at ourselves) and helping one another. When we would collaborate together, his passion for our work was ever present. It was, and will continue to be infectious! I have always loved what I do, but Trent helped me to find even deeper joy in the art of solution design and development. Despite life's struggles over the past several years, Trent was a man whose heart was overflowing with joy for life, love for family and friends, and respect for his colleagues. 

Trent - My kind friend, you have a lovely soul. Until we meet again, I pray you a safe and joyful journey.

To Trent's family and close friends - While I may not know you, I am holding you close in my loving kindness meditations. I pray you find peace and solace in the knowledge that Trent will continue to mill amongst us due to the indelible imprint his love and kindness made on so many. 

Peace and Love,
Kyle McCarter

Trent was a good man and a true friend to those who were fortunate enough to work with him .  He was always cheerful, even when faced with difficult challenges, and was always someone who could be counted on to do a great job.  He made a real difference in the lives of others and will be truly missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.
