Trent was the photographer at my brother's wedding in August 2007; as soon as he turned up to the house the mood suddenly changed to happiness. He brought with him this calmness and 5 minutes later everybody was laughing and having fun. He had a superb way of putting people at their ease. RIP Trent.

Still think about you often Trent. Salthill has now become a memorial spot for you - whenever I'm there it's like you're there, especially with your tree now standing tall overlooking the bay. And Nicola, I just want you to know that I missed the tree planting by minutes and as I was standing there I saw quite a few people walking up to it to say their Hellos to Trent. I'm sure they were as sorry that they missed you as I was. My thoughts are with you and your parents always.

Happy birthday darling Trent. My son was born just one day after your birthday (although was due on the 12th). If he grows up to be half the person you were I will be so very proud. Love to your family - a day to celebrate your arrival into the world!

It is the start of the Galway races this week and while I wanted to submit a tribute to Trent sooner, I couldn’t bring myself to do so until now...I had the pleasure of spending a whole day in Trent’s company. Myself and my best pal were heading to the races on the Saturday of last year 2007 and through his other good pal Jim we were there. He acted as our ‘Official Photographer’ and I had one of the best days...fooling and generally acting the clown! Which I may add Trent caught on camera and managed to capture the fun and happiness of our day....They say the good die young and that’s so true in this case...Trent was an intelligent, quick witted, warm person and I still cry when I think of such a tragic loss to this world. A wonderfully talented man I shall always thank God that I had the pleasure of meeting him if only briefly...I was more fortunate than most! RIP Trent xClara

While on holiday last week in Cambodia, I shared a table with a very interesting gentleman who had so many interesting stories about his travels around the world. Time went on, after 2 hours he told us that his son was meant to join him on this holiday and told us about Trent. 'Somebody had to do it and I'm proud it was my Trent' was what this extraodinary man had to say. I never met Trent but after meeting his father can guess what sort of person Trent was. He was an extraordinary person working in difficult conditions trying to make a small difference in the bad world we live in. My condolences to the family

Trent and I only had one long conversation, though we knew each other to see around town. I first met him June 2004 in Fr. Griffin Road Park, here in Galway. He approached me and asked if he could take a few photos. I was happy to oblige, as I was dressed up in the garb of one of the Three Musketters, complete with feathered hat and sword. Always meant to get back to him for a few copies. Anway, he asked why I was so dressed - part of a weekend festival - and who I was, and I obliged. Likewise I asked about himself, so he told me his name, where he came from and what he did. He spoke about why he came to Ireland, how he liked it and places yet to go in the wide wide world. He was suprised, and I think gratified, when I told him that with a name like Keegan he was very probably a descendant of the Mac Aodghagan/Mac Egan learned family, who originated here in Galway but spread all over Ireland, being poets, historians, lawyers and musicians. This was a family history of which he knew nothing, and told me something of what he knew of his own recent family history, going back to his grandparents, I think, and his home back in New Zealand. It must be a strange, though not unpleasent, sensation, to come to a new home as a stranger yet find you are really just coming home. We parted, and besides two or three hellos on the street, that was it. I don't think I ever saw him again that year, and he had entirely gone from my mind when I learned of his death. There is more I could say, but suffice to say I'm glad we met and enjoyed each other's company. I wrote the following for Trent and another photographer I knew; Trent would have liked Harry, and visa versa. For his family and freinds, I can only repeat the commiseration common at Irish funerals: Ni maith lion dom do tribloid. Is mise le meas mor, Adrian Martyn Lace Virginia i.m. Harry Thuillier Jr., 1964-1997 & Trent Keegan, 1974-2008. Sensuous sepia woman glimpsed sky - clad mystery, sin. Frame by frame chance and game allusive slips suggestive, hints.
