I'm sure anyone who ever met you Trent can still feel your handshake or your kiss on both sides. you wer such a great person and we all know you were a great photographer but you really did a smashing job on the skirting for our attic! I really wish there was a celebration that could make us actually realise how special you were (are) and not this. All i know is that your life will have a resonance for so many people, although it was way too short the effect you had on people in one day was as much as many of us could hope for in a lifetime. Your energy, joy, politeness and just goodness will reverberate with us for our lifetime. namaste and love DAve, laragh, noah and maeya xx

My thoughts are with Trents family & friends. I knew Trent years ago briefly here in taranaki. I remember his charm, his caring personality & his gentle giant way that has carried him through the world. Even though its been years since I last saw him, his passing has effected me lots. God only takes the best & he was one of the bery best. Rest in peace my dear friend xox

My heartfelt sympathy to Trent's family and friends. I knew him only briefly through swing dancing and his photographs of the dancers, but was immediately taken with his lovely personality and generosity of spirit. This is a very sad day.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Trent's untimely passing, a nicer fella you could never meet, I'll miss bumping in to him at the weddings and having a chat, a real gent, may he rest in peace.

Trent was a wonderful photographer and a very special person. He was very keen to travel to Albania with us sometime...sadly it never happened but we know he will be with us in spirit. On behalf of The Irish Friends of Albania we send our sincere sympathy to Trent's family. May he rest in peace.

Trent was a great photographer, but to those who knew him, a better friend. Never too busy, always with the right words, he was a better man than most. His kindness and honesty will be sorely missed.

Trent we never imagined off all the photo's we would frame that we would have to frame one for your memorial. You have left us broken hearted. There are traces & moments of you here that will never be forgotton. I watched the interview with your dad recently. Such a gentleman I can see where you got your good nature from. Your parents should be so proud of you. Untill we meet again. You, your framily & friends are in our hears forever.

Trent, the one and only. Will miss you so very much. My memories of you are only good ones, I'm sure that goes for everyone who knew you. Even back in the day getting your first internet email up and running before your big OE I remember the distribution list not being big enough to cope with all your friend's names, and during your short life you've only extended that list further - showing what a wonderful person you were. And how those first emails had us all in stitches trying to decipher the meaning through the spelling and grammer mistakes - wow you came so far in everything you did - including those emails... My love goes to your family who will be in need of support at this devastating time. You will always be in my thoughts x

Trent was such a sweet, decent, honourable, caring man that his loss is so much harder to bear. I was fortunate enough to have met Trent and spent two weeks in his company when Nikki and Scott married in Greece two years ago. In no time I felt I'd known him all my life. He would touch everyone he met. In a crowd his laugh would stand out, not because it was boisterous or overbearing but because his laugh was him - so sweet and pure and full of the joy of life. These qualities make his loss all the more painful. Our heartfelt thoughts go out to Trish, Mike, Nikki and Scott. God loved Trent so much that he just couldn't wait any longer to take him in.
