Trent was welcomed in death by his mother, Kristina Marie Lindquist; his grandfather, Robert Wesley Allen; his uncle, Keith Edward Allen; his grandmother, Linda Lindquist; his great aunt, Stephanie Kennedy; his great uncles, Brian Allen and Dan Goodwin; his great grandmothers, Shirley Schowalter and Betty Allen; his great grandfathers, Leroy Schowalter and Kenneth Allen.

What can we say about Trent? He was an amazing dude. But he was also a little shit that made questionable choices. While he may not have been as good to himself as he should have been, he was good to us, when he wasn’t pissing us off of course. He never missed an opportunity to help bring a smile to our faces when we were down. He never missed an opportunity to apologize when he knew he should. He never missed an opportunity to be there for anyone if they needed it.
We loved watching him grow up and he made many memories worth remembering.
But we also watched as he tried to live in this world, and we hurt for him when he lost his way. Exacerbated by the loss of his mother, the constant in his life that would stay up through the night if he needed it, Trent’s pain, heartache, and addiction won over in the end.
And in true Trent fashion, he left the gift of life for others behind. Trent was an organ donor and saved the lives of four people with the ending of his. We are so very proud of him. We always were.
