tributes
Posted by Dave Stella and Kim Dodd on Jan 8, 2009
When I saw a glimps of my ol buddy on the News on Tuesday my heart skipped a beat, at first for joy as I have not seen my brother (in soul) for an age too long. I then realised that the News was on and I had missed the article. My heart then dropped fearing the worst. It did not take long to uncover the tragedy that had bestowed you. The shock of hearing that your life had been taken away for you and us all was devastating. It is with great regret that we had not kept in touch more over recent years and that I have only now just heard this bad news about your passing. Seeing all you have achieved with your life, how many people you have positively touched, reading your tributes and memorials on your website today. It rekindled to me what a truly brilliant and amazing human being you are reminded me of treasured times spent with you in Edinburgh, New Zealand and other rhelms. You always stood out above the crowd Trent, physically and spiritually. I am honoured to have known you. You bought great joy and love to our lives, I only wish I had more time with your spirit. I will miss you for the rest of this life buddy and hope we can do it all again in another. Dear Trish, Mike, Nichola, Scott, Family and Friends. My condolences to you all, although the Worlds biggest hug is no longer here it is heart warming to know that Trent has left a massive support blanket that stretches around the planet many times over to will keep us all warm where ever we are. Thank you soooo much Trent and well done mate!

Thinking of you makes me smile. You are always in my memories of my time in East Africa. I know the reason we crossed paths now. Thank you.

Can't stop thinking about you Trent... I don't know how your family are getting through this... the weirdest thing I've been going through is that at times, since I heard of your death, I have felt your presence as if you were still with us. It's been so strong and I wonder is anyone else experiencing the same thing. The first time was when Brian first told me the news - I felt like you were walking around the house with me and if I closed my eyes I could see your face so clearly,about 2 feet above my head, where it would've been in reality. The second time was at your memorial service in Salthill and the 3rd was just the other day at a Christmas carol service - it was out of the blue, no apparent reason but it was such a strong feeling - I suppose it should've made me feel good but it didn't - just so, so sad. You left me with a few questions that I haven't answered yet and until I do, I suppose, I won't be able to enjoy your presence in peace. I hope that all those out there who are still in mourning are doing O.K. and know that you're not going through it alone. All the best for 2009.

It has taken me far too long to post on this wall.. I just never seem to know what to say - but here goes.. To Trent - your life spread so much happiness, fun and friendship - your death far too much heartache and sorrow. But we, your friends, feel we are your trusty steeds who will carry your message on. Sunshine and Smiles Peoples! We promise to look after your family for you, forever. I'll remember you always - that big tall lanky lad always so easy to spot across a club floor in London! Great parties at West Hampstead.. weddings across the world... and a golden heart I always admired. Love always buddy - see you when we get there. Liv xo

I met Trent years ago at a party. He was so smartly dressed and carrying his endless gear around around him. I told him he was an undercover cop and it stayed our private joke years on. Trent you were my rock and my emotionnal support when I neeeded it the most. You always said what you thought even when you know truth would hurt or feel me with joy. Thank you for your friendship and the shelves you built for my baby you never had time to meet. I think of you every time I look at them. Casper and Lola send you their love too. I miss you lots. A bientot, je te rendrai visite un jour dans ton pays. Blanche

met him at a mayoral photocall for centre for indipendant living, he shouted hey u blondie lean forward, i nearly fell off my walking stick! he was warm and full of humour and took our disabilities in his stride as he tried to get us to shape up. He was so memorable and delightful, i am glad my last memory is full of laughter and consideration from this wonderful darling man xxx Thank you for the pleasure of meeting you Trent, never will i forget.
