Trevor was a fun loving person who loved to be with his family and friends. His kids held a special place in his heart. He loved to snowboard and skateboard, and was even teaching his daughter, Kisa, how to skateboard. Trevor liked to pass the time listening to music, going on road trip adventures with his brother Taylor, playing Risk! and Stratego with friends and family, and fishing and hunting with his cousins and children.
