Trevor married the love of his life on September 2nd, 2000, Jo-Anne Marie Larocque in Prince George, they spent almost 7 years together when Jo-Anne fell ill and succumbed to her illness On Aug. 9th, 2007.
Trevor's work history dates back to his island days before Prince George became his main stomping grounds. Trevor worked as a bus driver, driver for Mayco cement company, worked for BC Rail in Prince George, long haul truck driver for years between Alberta and BC, worked driving a haul truck at the Kemess Gold mine for years along operating graders, bull dozers and even had a blasting ticket, he often talked about blowing stuff up got a great kick out of that. Trevor was involved in the teddy bear toss one winter at the Prince George Spruce Kings hockey game dressed as Santa Claus going out onto the ice and you guessed it down went Santa. Trevor was an outdoor enthusiast, loved ski doing, fishing, quadding and of course moose hunting. Lots of trips to Tezzeron Lake and the Nazco areas over the years, lots of forgotten tales and stories that should remain forgotten, and lot of friends made over the years. Trevor was fond of an occasional barley beverage, those of us that know him can appreciate this statement. Trevor was a singer, loved the song Brown Eyed Girl and sang it every chance he could. Trevor was everyone's friend and bigger than life itself until life dealt him his current hand which slowly robbed him of who he was, in the end it was sadness yet relief that his journey had come to an end.
At the request of family there will be no memorial service, each is being asked to take a moment and reflect on your memory of Trevor and make that your lasting impression of him.
