"Trevor is one of my lil brothers friends- I was usually the one who got a phone call in the middle of the night to pick them up from a party cuz they had ran- I specifically remember one night bout 2am-3am my brother calling and saying he needed a ride- I drove from Clarinda to Essex to pick him up- as he jumped in my van I started to take off and the other van door slid open and in came this kid whom I didnt know- (Trevor) with a couple girls to follow- I asked where they wanted dropped off- they couldnt decide what their next plan was so we drove the back way from essex and hit highway 2 and back to shen in a thunderstorm- finally Trevor decided he would go home- I drove hkm a the girls to his house and he thanked me more than once- he seemed like a good kid and had spent a week with my brother at my grandparents house- my grandparents always talked about how respectable he was while staying there- ive hear stories upon stories and seems like he was a good kid--My brother is having a hard time accepting the fact that ur gone- may u find peace and happiness that u deserve and i pray u watch over ur family and friends through thia difficult time- RIP "
