Trever was also an avid ukulele player and had a passion for watching cooking videos—especially if they featured his favorite food, guacamole.

Trever’s charismatic and social nature made him the kind of person who never met a stranger. He was outgoing, lovable, and always full of questions, bringing laughter and joy wherever he went. He made a lasting impact on everyone he met, leaving behind countless cherished memories. Trever was also a proud member of the Special Olympics Bowling Team and had a deep love for cats and Beyblades.

Trever gave the gift of life through organ and tissue donation with the Iowa Donor Network.

To honor his life, flowers may be sent to the funeral home.

Trever lived by the words, "Life is too short to worry." He embraced every moment with curiosity, joy, and a heart full of love. Trever never judged a book by its cover, always taking the time to truly understand people beyond first impressions.
