Trevor, It’s been 285 days since I last saw you. I have not been the same since that day. There is not a day that goes by when I do not think of you; I remember your goofy laughter and your little jokes. You coming over and raiding my fridge. Laying on my bed with Velcro, watching TV. Working on your climbing moves on the big cedar in the backyard. Brianna Kristine sometimes comes and hangs out with me. We laugh at the rotating frame on the kitchen window, featuring pictures of you cliff-jumping, doing backflips, and loving life. Then the golf pictures come up, and you look so happy! I am not sure why you went back one more time to what almost destroyed you before. Over 3 years free from the barbed wire chain of drugs. Perhaps it’s when you were rushed to the hospital with a severe kidney stone and they gave you opiates. The medic called me after arriving at your place, as you had insisted they let me know. He told me that you were bleeding a lot and that they thought you had hurt yourself. I know you were in a LOT of pain, but perhaps that brought back some of the memories of drugs being fun at one time. I pray that you are at peace and that you can see down, and that you know that you have impacted so many! I love you Trevor. I miss you 💔🫶

My boy you were such a bright light in so many lives, especially your baby girl Gracelynn. I am still beyond devastated that you are no longer walking with us. I know you are watching over your mom and your baby Gracelynn. I love and miss you terribly, until we meet again my handsome nephew <3
