I hope it isn’t too late to write this. I came across this memorial from a reddit post 4 years ago, but never got around to writing anything for some reason.

Trevor was in my professional writing class at TAWES building during my (and probably his) Junior year of college at UMD. That spring semester, COVID hit and we were locked in our homes.

I really wish I wrote this when my memories of him were fresh, but I remember thinking how nice, witty, funny, and just generally a good guy he was. I know these characterizations are kind of cliché, but it really is the best way to describe him, and anyone who has met him would say the same. I remember he would usually sit at the front of the classroom and I got the impression that his sense of humor was a bit on the “dry side” and he would usually throw some sarcastic comments/jokes in every once in a while that would make us all chuckle. It was kind of a boring class where we just had to write resumes and cover letters, so this bit of personality from him was like a breath of fresh air. Again, I wish I wrote this when my memories of him were fresh, but I think we partnered up a few times to peer edit each others’ papers and he just seemed like a really chill and funny guy, just super nice. Although Trevor and I never officially became friends or anything, I think I remember me and him developing a sort of connection in the class as the people who would both throw out jokes and tease the professor. 

I know how important it is to keep people’s memories alive, so I’m writing this. He was just a small part of my life in 1 class at UMD, but he is faintly in my distant memory. He is the same age as me and I was shocked when I first read about his passing. As young people, we tend not to think about our eventual deaths much. It helped me not take life for granted, and enjoy try to every single day.

This came up on my phone memories today. I miss you pointing out the cute fun little things in life. We were all so lucky to have you in ours.

Keeping you & your family in our prayers.

I miss you every day my sweet boy. It broke my heart to lose you on this day. I speak your name constantly to keep your memories alive. You would be turning 25 next month and I know you would have a wonderful life. I still don't understand why you were taken from all of us. I'd give anything to chase you down for a mom hug right now, with your crooked smile and your smarty pants. I love you Trevor and I miss you so so much baby

I think of you and miss you everyday my baby boy. I love you

My heart aches for one of the most thoughtful, reflective, and grounded women I met in APG’s senior leadership cohort 10 —- the beautiful Jesse! I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing Trevor, but after reading so many of these memories and tributes, he was clearly his mom’s twin! He sounds like her heart walking!!! He had her sense of inclusion, witty humor, focus on making a positive impact. I’m so sorry for your loss Jesse. I am thankful to read that you always shared your pride and your love for him when he called. I know your inner resilience will carry you through a grief that will always be with you. We are here to ensure his memory stays alive. My sincere condolences!

I met Trevor during my freshman year of college. The reserved guy I first met on Easton 4, quickly became an integral part of my friend group and I was able to experience firsthand his sarcastic, kind, and caring nature. Some things that I’ve always admired about Trevor was his persistence, his humor, and his loyalty. I remember all the times we would be up late doing homework in the lounge. Trevor always had his work done, but he’d be there to ensure he thoroughly understood the material and helped us out if we struggled. Trevor was easily one of the smartest guys I knew, but he was also one of the most humble. Despite his classic phrase of “I’m insane” when he did well on an exam, he’d always be mindful of others and make sure that they weren’t beating themselves up over a bad grade. 

Trevor’s humor was truly one of a kind. From weird facial expressions to sarcastic remarks, he’d never fail to have the whole group laughing in any and every situation, especially places we shouldn’t have been laughing. Trevor never sought the spotlight, in fact, he adamantly avoided it, but somehow everyone gravitated to his welcoming spirit. Trevor would always be the last person to show up to parties, but when he finally made his appearance, the whole room noticed and was so happy he was there. I remember recently at a party when some people were sitting off to themselves, he walked over and started playing a game of paper football with plastic jumpy frogs. The game quickly became the highlight of the party with people gathering around to join in on the action. 

Trevor’s loyalty to his friend group and family was unmatched. His conviction about any topic could not be broken. He was a model student and an amazing friend. I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to know Trevor these past three years and there is nothing that will fill the space he’s left in our lives. I miss you Trevor, but I know we’ll meet again someday and we can eat raspberry sorbet to our heart’s content.


I only know Trevor through stories from his Mom Jesse.  I remember her telling a story about practicing a leadership exercise on her sons... she sat down, and looked at them directly in the eyes and told them all the things she was proud of about them... I remember her telling us about Trevor and what wonderful son he was.  Not only about how brilliant, but how sweet and caring... I remember thinking, I can only hope my sons grow up to be like that...I could only be so fortunate.  Our thoughts are with you and Trevor will be truly missed.  Sincerest condolences on your loss.

Trevor was shy when I first met him. We met during high school playing football on the field. He was very athletic and competitive but expressed good sportsmanship. Wish I could have spent more time with him than I did. I give my most sincere condolences to his family. RIP to a fellow bobcat (mascot of our high school). 

I met Trevor during our freshman year of college when we lived on the same floor. We would stay up as late as 3 AM in our lounge attempting to do homework (aka “production time”) while talking nonstop. Even having just met Trevor, I could immediately tell how genuine and thoughtful he was. Any time he knew I had an exam or an interview, he remembered and wished me luck. His jokes would never disappoint, even when they were directed at me. And if he was concerned that he went too far with one (he didn’t), he would verify that he didn’t hurt my feelings. He wanted to make everyone’s day better and help everyone laugh a lot more. My favorite freshman year memories take me back to that lounge talking about and doing the most random things.

Although we didn’t get to spend as much time hanging out sophomore and junior year like we had before, we would end up having long conversations about seemingly everything when we did see each other. Talking to Trevor was always so easy and freeing. In one conversation, we could go from debating who was the biggest slurpee fanatic to our future careers among other topics.

Trevor was also one of the most caring people I have ever met. I didn’t live at the Varsity but any time I visited, he always offered to walk me home or check that I made it back safely. And while I was abroad this semester, I sometimes felt disconnected from our friends at UMD. But Trevor kept me posted on what was going on with him and the rest of our friends, and would remind us that we were missed. Trevor never failed to make sure everyone felt included and cared for.
 
Trevor, you have left such a lasting impact on me and I am endlessly grateful to have been friends. Thank you for all of the phrases you coined, diner cream runs, letting me think my jokes were funny and always being such a supportive friend. Words can’t begin to express how much I do and will miss you. I hope that I was as great of a friend to you as you were to me. Thank you for everything.

Dearest Trevor,  
The cutest story I ever heard was you wearing Grandpa Ramon's big shoes and walking around the house delivering pizza.  I laughed so hard it was just too cute!  When did you grow up so fast, to have a life of your own and forging your own path?  Time sure flies doesn't it?
What I am sure of is the great love and pride the Howard family has had since you were born!  You won the family lotto with my kind sister Cora and your sweet Mama Desiree.  They loved talking about you, always with so much joy and pride.  You were the apple of their eye, light of their lives!
I can only think it a blessing that GOD chose Easter to call you home, and your beloved family will join you for Eternity someday in the house of our Heavenly Father.   Meanwhile, be brave and soldier on, Trev.   You were born to be a Star!  
With love, Aunt Shirley  

I met Trevor my freshman year when we lived on the same floor, since we were both in the Flexus Virtus program. That floor has become an amazing group of friends, and I can’t even imagine E4 without Trevor. Trevor was known by most for his quick sense of humor and incredible work ethic. Trevor had such a big heart, it was obvious he cared so deeply for everyone around him. He was so smart and hard working, and always willing to help someone else when they needed it. One thing I really admired about him was his conviction, and the way he was so unapologetically himself. He never once put on an act or changed his personality around anyone. He was always kind, respectful, absolutely hilarious but not at anyone else's expense, and had fun no matter what we were doing, whether we were in some boring lecture, or up until 3am doing homework in a lounge. People like Trevor are so rare, and I feel so lucky to have known him.
It’s hard to sum up all the amazing memories with Trevor, from getting shoved into Chris’s trunk freshman year, countless late bus rides back to south campus, Just Dance parties, country hours and sad boi hours, to all the 'oofs', 'sheesh's, 'claps', and 'smacks'. At the end of last semester we all went to Cheesecake Factory, and we ended up being there for almost 3 hours, and I was sitting next to Trevor the whole time, having the best conversation and laughing through the chaos involved with dining in a group of 15+ people. Trevor smiled through all of it, except for maybe when they lied and told the staff it was his birthday so they brought out a cake. The entire dining room was filled with the echoes of our massive table yell-singing happy birthday to him. That night and that conversation is a memory I will always cherish. 
Trevor brought everyone around him to life. He leaves behind a legacy of joy and laughter, and I know we will all keep his memory alive in this way. Trevor, you were an amazing friend and I'm going to miss you so much.


I will always remember our “family” dinners with my dear Friends -Jesse, Doug, Trevor, John, Michele, Jon, & London along with my son, Nate.  It was always so wonderful having us all together. These moments I will cherish forever. 
Trevor will be SO dearly missed! Such a beautiful, amazing, kind, giving soul!
My heart is breaking for my dear Friend, Jesse. And I offer my deepest, dearest condolences to her, Doug, John, and Trevor’s extended Family. 

Dear Jesse,

I have no words that can ever express the sorrow I feel for the loss of your son, Trevor.  I am so sorry.

Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

With much love and sympathy - Cheryl McCall

I remember when I first met Trevor as a freshman in college, I was in the hallway with my friend Chris when Trevor and his roommate Shane randomly walked out and invited us into their dorm. My first impression of Trevor was that he was one of the goofiest people I had ever talked to. He was constantly making everyone laugh with his unique sense of humor. Over the next few years, I am so happy I get to say that he became one of my roommates and closest friends. Trevor was truly the best of us. He was the smartest, funniest, most dedicated, caring person that I have ever met, and he was humble about all of it. Trevor was one of the few people that I always felt comfortable around. He was a dependable source of joy for me and so many others that got to know him. I cherish it all. All of the 2-am trips to get food, the car rides back to south campus, the late-night talks on Xbox, closing down the libraries trying to understand our cryptic homework. All the noise complaints we got from goofing around in our apartment or blasting his playlists way too loud. All the times I had to choke back my laughter with him in the middle of a lecture, all of the jokes and memes and random polls he sent in our group chats. I wish I could come close to expressing just how much he meant to me, but I know I will never be able to fit all of that into words. So much of who I am today, I owe to him. I am endlessly grateful for the time I got to spend with him. Trevor, I miss you so much. I love you man.

To his mother:
Trevor was a truly amazing friend, classmate and roommate to me and to so many others. Trevor praised you endlessly to his friends, and he was so proud of you. I want to thank you for raising such a wonderful person. He meant so much to so many people and has forever changed me for the better.


I met Trevor in High School from a group of friends, Trevor always had a smile on his face and could always find the positive side of any situation. Whenever I saw him in class or was hanging out with him, he would be having the best time of his life. Even though I didn't go to the same college as him, we met up with a bunch of others at Chillis, rejoicing on all the memories from high school and what everyone had been up to for the past couple of months. Trevor was a person that would go out of his way to make someone smile if he saw their day was not going well. I am extremely gracious that I met you and appreciate you for everything you have done. Trevor, I will never forget you and you will always be in our hearts, Thank you for everything Trevor. Thank You. My condolences to the Quinn family.

Ever since John and I met back in 2011, our freshman year at Bel Air High School, he has become one of my closest friends. We had started hanging out in 2013 and that’s when I eventually met Trevor, a nice, bright, cool and funny guy. I’ve had some great memories with him, such as when we’d all play sports together. It was always fun when we’d just mess around and have a good time playing basketball, or when we’d all go bowling, where he’d usually easily beat us all. But the main sport we played was football, whether we’d play in pickup games with friends or at the military base or we’d just toss the ball around, it was always a great time. Another thing that was always fun was just chilling around at the house. Whether we’d play video games together or sit back and enjoy watching sports or funny First Take moments, usually while eating pizza we had just ordered. 

Trevor, while it’s still hard to process all of this, I want to thank you for all of the good times. You were always good at making me and others laugh and knew how to find a way to brighten our day and I fully appreciate that. I will always be grateful to have known you and to have you be a part of my life. You will be greatly missed, rest peacefully. 

To the Quinn family, I extend my deepest condolences and will keep you in my thoughts. We are all here for you during this difficult time.

I met Trevor our freshman year of college. I first met him in our floor’s lounge when I was doing my homework wayyy too late with a couple more people in our living and learning community. At first, he would just randomly show up and say a couple super random things and leave, but then he started staying around and watching meme YouTube playlists with us at 1am. I don’t think he knew it, but he quickly became a crucial part of our friend group, from getting us to sit in the recycling bin to getting us all to go on diner runs at 11pm to get ice cream (cream runs).

One of the best things about Trevor was how authentically himself he was, no matter what. There was no doubt that any kind thing that Trevor did or said wasn’t because he wanted to look kind (because he really liked acting aloof and looking unbothered instead), but it was always because he really cared. 

He had a way of always making people feel included in just about anything. He would go out of his way to text me if I didn’t see him when we passed each other on campus to say hi or to make sure that I was going to the next Marvel movie so we could make fun of really small things throughout the movie. There were so many times that he reached out to me that it made my really bad days into really good ones, and he didn’t even know it.

I’m gonna miss giving you crap about only playing country music or Juice Wrld when we were getting driven back to south campus together. I’m gonna miss saying “yessirrrr” every time we got 11th and 12th place in Mario Kart or scored a point in Incoherent. I’m gonna miss your obsession with anything cute and fuzzy, especially baby Yoda. I’m gonna miss how empathetic you were when we’d talk about really serious things and how sweet you were to complete strangers, from the random guy we played 2 on 2 basketball with on a Saturday night or the homeless man we met outside of Wawa in Philly. I was so lucky to have you in my life and I’m really gonna miss you. 

Since we met Freshman year, Trevor went from that mysterious kid who would send cryptic messages in the floor group chat to my best friend. The more I got to know him the more his crazy jokes made sense. He was the funniest, most easy-going person I’ve ever met. He was larger than life. Something like that can’t just disappear. Even if he is not with me, I will carry his spirit, his memories, his infectious laughter and his caring nature around with me for the rest of my life. So much of the way I talk, the things I say, and the things I do are because of Trevor. It’s a shame that he’s not here right now because whenever he was around, he uplifted the spirits of everyone that surrounded him. Trevor hated to be the center of attention (which was evident when we tricked the entire Cheesecake Factory into singing happy birthday to him), but everyone naturally flocked to him because of his personality. I would do anything for another one of our seemingly trivial two-minute walks to the Gemstone lab because sometimes they would be the best two minutes of the entire day. I’ll miss the times that he’d call me just to talk, make fun of me for being a “big car guy”, and brag about how “insane” he is. There were so many small moments in my life like this that Trevor was a part of, and I can’t imagine going back to school without him there. Trevor was one of those people who changed a group when he was a part of it. It’s a feeling that’s hard to describe but I think I just felt joy when he was around. 

Trevor, words cannot adequately describe how important you were to me, but I will always have that feeling to remind me. You really were my best friend. I always thought that we would go to each other’s weddings and family barbecues as we got older, but I know that I’ll see you again one day buddy. You were the one person that I always knew I could turn to in times like these, and I will continue to do so for the rest of my life. I love you Trevor, and I’ll miss you so much.


I first met Trevor in middle school, and since we had most of our classes together, we became pretty good friends. We grew apart a bit in high school, but we still had a good time whenever we talked. I remember playing games with him at the lunch table while we talked about whatever homework we had that day. Trevor was an amazing student with an amazing personality, and he will definitely be missed.

The following words come to mind when I think of Trevor: kind, loyal, brilliant, responsible, dependable, and very hard working.  Of the 14 years I have taught at Bel Air High School, Trevor was one of the most mathematically gifted and hard-working students I have ever had in AP Calculus BC.  It is rare to have a student who cares as much about learning the content as Trevor did.  Trevor was relentless in solving even the most difficult math problems and he refused to give up.  He was always the first student to present solutions in front of the class and to help his peers.  Trevor always put others before himself; Trevor was the definition of selfless.

I began to know Trevor well once he joined the Academic Team.  Through his participation on the Academic Team I realized Trevor was a very brilliant young man.  He was not only excellent in mathematics, but he had a broad knowledge of various contents from history to sports.  Trevor had so much drive to win in competitions and he always wanted to impress other coaches and his teammates.  

Trevor continued to stop by BAHS since he graduated to visit his teachers.  He had so much respect for the staff members at BAHS and he made sure we all knew how much he appreciated us.  Trevor would talk about how much he enjoys his classes at UMD and how excited he is to become an Aerospace Engineer.  He always thanked me for teaching him Calculus BC and how learning the content has helped him tremendously.  We even planned for him to come and teach an AP Calculus BC lesson this school year!  He could not wait to teach my Calculus Class and to tell them what an impact my class has made on him.  

Trevor is the reason why I continue to stay in this profession and he pushed me to become the best teacher I can possibly be. I am going to miss Trevor’s visits at BAHS. I will think of Trevor each and every day I teach AP Calculus BC.   I’ll miss you always Trevor!

With Love,
Katie Roppelt 


I will always admire my brother, Trevor’s work ethic and kindness. He worked so hard to excel at school and make us all proud. I know he would have made a great engineer had he been given the chance. Words can’t express how lucky I was to grow up with such an amazing brother, who was also my best friend. It was so much fun playing and watching sports with him, playing Xbox together, and going on our late night wawa runs together where we would talk about virtually anything. He had such a great sense of humor too, he could make me laugh sometimes without even speaking. Some of his facial expressions were just priceless and hilarious. I must say I’m impressed reading all these memories and realizing all the people that my brother has touched in a positive way during his time here. These stories just confirm what I all ready knew, that my brother is among the sweetest and unselfish individuals that you’ll come across.

One of my favorite memories with Trevor will be the countless hours we used to spend with the rest of the neighborhood back in Cooks Bridge playing football. Whether it was rain, snow, or sunshine Trevor always would be out there with us and always cracking jokes to provide comedic relief whenever things got heated. To his family, I am so sorry for your loss and I extend my deepest condolences from my entire family.

I first became friends with Trevor in one of my high school math classes, where I got a taste of his hilarious and unique sense of humor. He was without a doubt one of the kindest and most loyal friends, and could always pull out a joke about any situation. In the first year of college he and I would go out for Taco Tuesday or Thursday, and getting a chance to catch up with him made a daunting freshman year bearable.
Thank you Trevor for everything.

Love you man,
Kyle Chan

I met Trevor in high school and although we did not become friends until senior year, I always knew that he was incredibly hard-working, funny, and compassionate. We continued our friendship in college, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that he was a major factor in making my freshman year tolerable. We were in the same Chem group together, and he'd always checked up on me when I was feeling down. Those moments in Chem discussion were honestly my fondest memories from freshman year and made me the student I am today. Since then, we didn't see each other as often, but I know we'd always have each other's back.

Thank you for being there, you will be missed <3
Love you, bro

I first met Trevor sophomore year of highschool when we sat at the same table in English class. The only memories I really have of that class are of Trevor making me burst out laughing all the time. I quickly realized that's just the kind of person Trevor is, he's kind, funny, and just always wanted to make others smile. Later in highschool we would get to know each other a little more through sharing mutual friends and I got to see even more of how much of a great person he was. I don't have that many memories with Trevor but all the ones I do have are wonderful and all of them involve him making me laugh. I have and will always look back fondly on those memories and wish I had made more with him. Despite only hanging out together through mutual friends Trevor was still able to have an amazingly positive impact on my life and I will be forever thankful. To Trevor's family, friends, and the many others whose lives he impacted, I'm deeply sorry for your loss and I wish you the best during these hard times.  And to Trevor, I hope someday when we meet again I can make you laugh as much as you would make me.  We will all miss you greatly, rest peacefully.

Trevor was easily one of the funniest and smartest kids I have ever known. I will always remember doing homework's with him in the lounges of Oakland and The Varsity. I will remember sitting next to him in all my aerospace classes and all the joy he brought to those classes. The one thing I will miss the most about Trevor will definitely be his goofiness. Whether it was his love for baby yoda or chickie nuggies, he was always just a joy to be around an overall great friend. He was taken too soon from our lives and he will always inspire me to be a better aerospace engineer. You will be missed by all of us Trevor. 

Trevor is someone who I went to high school with, but I didn’t really get to know him until about a little over a year and a half ago, when I started dating his good friend Shane. At first, my interactions with him consist of Trevor making sarcastic comments in the background of my FaceTimes with Shane. That was about the extent of my relationship with him until last summer when we interned at the same company at APG. We would get lunch together every day, and he never failed to make me laugh until my stomach was hurting. I’ve never met anyone else who can make me laugh like that. Our jobs were not always the most exciting, but Trevor always made each day a little brighter. I am very grateful that I got to have Trevor in my life. He is someone that I will miss having around.

I have known Trevor since I was a freshman in high school, but I did not get to know him well until my senior year. At the start of our senior year of high school, I was in a class with Trevor and I was also looking for a job. Conveniently for me, Trevor was a manager at CR wings. I went up to him after class and asked if they were hiring. I don’t remember exactly what he said, but I know he replied with one of his classic sarcastic comments. I know that he didn’t think I would actually come in to apply. I also know that going in was one of the best decisions I will ever make. 
After that, we began working together and he became one of my closest friends. I got to see firsthand what a smart, kind, and funny person he was. No matter what you said to him, he responded with a witty sarcastic comment. He was truly unique and one of the most brilliant people I have ever met. We were roommates throughout college, and I am thankful that I got to know him so well. Seeing him study and work was impressive. He was dedicated to excellence and determined to master all the material that was thrown his way. He was able to work for hours at a time on one problem and if the material confused him, he wouldn’t move on until he understood the material well enough to teach it. Even if that meant not eating or sleeping. However, his drive for excellence didn’t stop him from having fun. I had many classes with Trevor, and I have countless memories of him making me laugh when silence was expected. On a few occasions I had to leave a lecture hall because I could not stop myself from laughing, and not many people have made me laugh like that. He helped me succeed in college and made me a better person. I think he was someone who did leave an impact on the people he met, and it was always for the better. He is someone who I admire, respect, and will miss greatly. Even though he is gone he will remain a lifelong friend and has left a permanent mark on who I am.
I’m gonna miss you man.


We remember sweet Trevor as a young boy and his infectious smile will live on forever. 
His journey made us cry, smile and feel as if we knew him well.  A light in our lives and the lives of so many; a star in our hearts, a kind loving soul who inspired everyone he knew.
We will honor and remember his life and the impact he made on others in everything we do.  He was an incredible young man.
Sweet Trevor, taken from us too soon with so much more life to live, filled our hearts with enough love to last a lifetime.

Our hearts, prayers and thoughts are with you today and in the days ahead.  We say a special prayer as you begin your journey without Trevor.  We ask the Lord to wrap you in his arms, giving you love, comfort, and peace during this difficult time as Trevor watches you from God's side.
Our warmest hugs we send your way.



John and I were best friends for a lengthy time until he and Trevor moved. We lost touch over the years, but we used to play football so often in Cooksbridge. I used to look forward to those games all the time. Trevor never failed to make me laugh. He had that witty sense of humor which is hard to come by. He was younger than John and I along with some of the other football guys, but he always kept up and was incredibly athletic. He was hilarious, intelligent, and one of the most likable people. My condolences to the Quinn family. God Bless♥️

We remember sweet Trevor as a young boy when he visited the 1st time and his infectious smile will live on forever.

I am deeply sadden to hear of Trevor's passing.  He was one of my students in PE class at Bel Air High.  He'll always be remembered as one of the great kids I have taught.  Super smart, awesome personality with the kindest of hearts.  Love and prayers to Trevor's family and friends in this difficult time.

I lived on the same floor as Trevor in our freshman year of college. We never had a conversation for more than 5 minutes so I didn’t really know him that well. Thankfully, I got to enjoy his great sense of humor in our floor’s group chat and whenever I passed by him in the lounge. His sporadic jokes would always make me laugh. I’m sorry for your loss and may he rest easy...

Jesse May,

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your son!  
No words can lift the heavy heart at this moment in time.  What we know Is that no child should go before there parents! We pray in the name Of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that you and your family remain strong during this most difficult time of your life!
May God bless you and you family!


There are so many memories that come to mind when thinking about one of our closest friends, Trevor. We think however the memory of him losing his boot in the snow is the most memorable moment we shared. When we were younger John, Trevor, and their father had invited us out to play football across our neighborhood in the snow. Playing football with their family was always something to look forward too. During this time it was late at night and we had just finished a game when Trevor had lost his boot in the snow. I believe between the 5 of us we searched for a good 15 minutes. Trevor began saying that his foot was cold so my brother Jake took off his boot and gave it to Trevor to wear. After about 45 minutes or so we located the boot and began our journey home.  My brother began complaining that he could not feel his foot. This brought laughter to John, Trevor, and I while their father thought more seriously about the issue. He scooped Jake into his arms and carried him back to our house. Upon arrival my brother ran into the shower trying to warm his foot and began crying in fear of his foot never returning to full function. In this moment, I shared the information with Trevor's family and was nearly brought to tears on how hard we were all laughing. This memory along with the plethora of other ones we all shared together will remain with my brother and I for as long as we live. After watching the memorial video dedicated to Trevor, there was one thing that stuck out the most. That is, that he was always smiling. Trevor was one of the few kids that my brother and I got to know that was destined for greatness. He excelled at so many things and this drove my brother and I to do better, to work harder, and to not lose in the card games we continued to play throughout the years we grew up. We never got to thank Trevor for the countless hours of laughter, Or the endless cookies their family provided us, but we will always be grateful for the time that we spent together.

I met Trevor freshman year of high school in algebra. Never in a million years did I think that I could call him one of my closest friends in high school when I first met him. While I was trying to learn algebra, Trevor was trying to make everyone laugh. That laughter caught on with me and it never stopped whenever he was around. There are so many memories that I have of him from Chili’s dinners (I have never seen him eat anything other than meat) to late-night car rides. In everything that he did, Trevor always made everything fun.

It still feels unreal that Trevor is not here with us today. However, he lives on through the impact that he made on all of us. I love you Fam.

Jessie & Family,

It is with the greatest sadness that we learn of the passing of your beloved Son. 

I know how dearly you loved Trevor, and he loved you.   Every time we have a few minutes to chat, you always tell me about your boys, and their accomplishments. 

May God Bless all of Trevor’s family and friends as you learn to cope with this tremendous loss, but celebrate together sincere in your belief that you once again will all be back together in eternal life. 

Dwight, Karen & Drew Deatherage 


I wonder if we can set up a Memorial Scholarship in Trevor's name for a future aerospace engineering student through UMD or Bel Air High School?  We would be pleased to contribute.


I did not know Trevor enough to call him a friend, but that doesn’t change the fact that one day we crossed paths. I shared a class with him, and he really made it easy for everyone to smile around him. He left an impact on my life without me knowing it. You will be missed Trev.

Jesse,

I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your precious son.  Know that there are many who wish they could be with you and offer their condolences in person.  I pray for your family and hope that you can find some peace.  I know you were a loving and proud Mother.  May all those memories sustain you until you meet again.  Hugs.  Cecilia

Words cannot express the sadness we feel for you and your family.  Please accept our heartfelt condolences and know that our prayers are with you all in this trying time. 

The thing I loved most about Trevor was how much he loved his mom. He was such a great kid and made her so very proud every singe day. Recently, I got to enjoy having lunch with both of them while was was working at APG and I never got tired of hearing them banter and him teasing her. What I’ll remember most I think is what a good soul he was. I’ll never forget the day he met my daughter. It was 2008 and he was so sweet with her. I just can’t believe he’s gone. I’ve known him nearly his whole life having met him at a Ft. Monmouth Org Day when he was so tiny he fit in the back of his mom’s mustang. It’s just not fair that he was taken so soon when he had so much left to give to the world. I will miss him forever. All my love to the Quinn & Howard families. Love, Michele, Jon & London

Trevor, I hope you know what an impact you had on the people around you and I hope you left this world knowing how special you are. You are the brightest kid and I will remind myself everyday how honored I am to have known you. Thank you for the laughs and for being there for me when I needed it. You are easily the smartest and most hard working person I have ever met. I’m sorry for ever making fun of the music you played or that one time I hid your phone and you thought someone stole it. I’ll always think of you when I hear a DRAM song now. To his family and friends, you shaped this man into an amazing person and I hope none of you forget that. Thank you for being apart of my life buddy

From eighth grade when we were making spongebob references in the back of Mrs. Venturino's homeroom, to a couple weeks ago playing tabletop football with those plastic frogs he had all over his apartment, I considered Trevor to be my best friend.  I could share pages and pages of memories that we shared together but none would do justice to how great of a friend Trevor was. I would always jokingly give him crap about him not inviting me to do things but in actuality he would always make sure that I was included in things and introduced me to so many people that I never would have met without him.  We shared a lot of the same classes and had a lot of bad professors where hardly anyone showed up to the lecture, but if I was going to go to the lecture I knew he would be there too.  Trevor was one of the smartest and most  hardworking people that I have ever met as well as being very caring as well.

I send my  condolences to his family, friends, and anyone else who he may have impacted.

To Trevor, you still owe me $500 from the bet we had, but I guess I'll have to get it the next time I see you. Love you man  

There is nothing I can say that would be able to perfectly describe Trevor and the impact he had on my life. Senior year, I had a problem with my schedule and had to switch classes to Human Geography, where I sat next to Trevor. A few weeks in, Trevor looked down at me texting my friend and sarcastically said, “Wowww, you don’t send me good morning texts!” From that day on, since 2016, I have sent and received a good morning text from Trevor everyday. No matter the mood either one of us is in, we had a rule to start the day with a good morning, and end it with a good night.
Since our first date on December 22, 2016 I knew he was something special. He had a unique personality and his spontaneity blew my mind. Trevor had a way of making feel like the only girl in the world and his love can never be matched. As I sit here writing this, and going through our memory box, I’m just reminded of all our good times. Trevor was always the creative one. For our one year (and our other anniversaries), he put together an entire scrapbook that would put any professional scrapbooker to shame. It blew my mind how someone could love so deeply and fully. He always went above and beyond to make sure myself, and everyone else was okay. Trevor is the one person I knew I could always count on. No matter the time, day or night (cause that silly goose never slept), he would be there. We were the same person, and no one better understood me than him. This doesn’t even cover a quarter of our memories; but it’s hard to put to words what we had cause it was unique and special to us. It was more than three years of love, friendship, and memories I’m so thankful to have experienced. Trevor, I will always be your monkey, and you will always be my koala. We always said everything happened for a reason and although I don’t understand why this happened, I know you are in a better place. So habibi, you always have a piece of my heart and my love for you is endless. 
Until we meet again,
Mrs. Mokoalug


I met Trevor at HCC during a summer semester of Calculus 3 and Differential Equations.
Within minutes of meeting him, I could tell how passionate he was about engineering and everything that the field entailed. 
It was clear that he truly wanted to make a difference in this world.
He was just as much of an exceptional person as he was an exceptional student.

In our Gemstone meeting today, we shared memories of Trevor. Many people talked about how funny Trevor is, which I certainly agree with. He was always making us laugh even during heated debates over which subgroups we should split into or calling people out for being late to the meeting. He was also a dedicated team member. He was always fully present in our meetings, voicing his concerns and ideas and asking questions until he understood things forward, backward, upside down, and inside out. These qualities make Trevor a great friend to everyone he has met and a great teammate too, but I think the best thing about Trevor is that he was able to do all of this while always being kind and welcoming. It’s not easy to hold people accountable and get things done while also being the person to make everyone laugh, but somehow Trevor managed to do this at every meeting we had. 

Trevor was also fearless. I remember when we did the ropes course as a Gemstone team, he was one of the only (or the only?) people to attempt the hardest part of the course. He must have tried for 15 minutes to climb up a rope and over the ledge using only his arm strength. No one in our cohort came prepared to perform such a difficult task that day, and none of us managed to complete it either, but Trevor was the type of person to try even if he was 99.9% sure he would fail. He saw every challenge as an opportunity to prove to himself that he could do it, and he didn’t care what others thought of him for it. 

Even though Trevor will not be with us in person to finish our journey in Gemstone, the positive impact he left on all of us will stay with us through that journey and beyond. I know that I will miss him greatly and pray that he rests in peace. 


I met Trevor through Virtus and the aerospace engineering program at Maryland. Despite not being super close friends with Trevor, I knew him well enough to say that he was one of the kindest and funniest people I have ever met. His quick-witted humor always made me laugh and he was the kind of guy who made you feel comfortable in a conversation. On top of all this, Trevor was incredibly smart and driven by his goals. He will be dearly missed. My condolences to all of his loved ones.

Reading all the memories from everyone  just confirmed what we already knew.  You turned into an outstanding young man, Trevor.  You made us so very proud with each and every accomplishment. We will cherish all the  time we got to spend with you and “Brothee” before you moved to Maryland. Pa and I miss you so much already - it will be hard going forward.  Always,  you have our love    Ps We wrote private cards for you.  Mama has promised to send them along with you  on your journey.  Until we meet again....

Trevor was a co worker of mine at c.r wings. He’s was loved by everyone there including myself. He was such a bright light in that hell hole of a grease trap. Trevor was the hardest to make laugh and hardest to impress. But the only one I cared enough about to make sure he laughed atleast once before he went home. His happiness was so contagious, it breaks my heart the world no longer gets the privilege of seeing it for themselves. I send my prayers and condolences to his family. Love you Trevor<3

Although I have never met Quinn, I could see he was a brilliant man and was on his way to change the world for the better. My condolences to the Quinn family and Trevor's friends.  The world as a whole lost someone truly amazing. 

Trevor was my student last fall. I'm writing to express my condolences to his parents and family. I'm terribly saddened and shocked to hear of his passing. He was a wonderful and kind individual. The department has lost an outstanding member of its student body. 

I met Trevor in high school as coworkers at CR Wings. He was, in every single way, the person I looked forward to seeing most, and I even visited on my off-days just to spend some time with him. We spent so many nights in the back parking lot working on crossword puzzles together in my car and talking until four in the morning. It only took two more years for me to admit that I was completely crushing on him that whole time, which he happily teased me for. He brought so much happiness to those years and I am thankful I was able to grow up alongside him. Trevor was everyone’s favorite person and he could make anybody laugh until they cried. He is so special and so loved and I will always hold him so close to my heart.

The entire Clark School Community sends our heartfelt condolences to Trevor's family.  Trevor made an outsized impact in in the Virtus and Gemstone living-learning communities and our College.

I went to high school with Trevor but did not know him well until he started working with me at CR wings. He made any shift better with his humor and goofiness. He was always such a kind person who could put a smile on anyone's face, it was never a dull moment with him around. He was one of the smartest people I knew, he knew physics and math better than I ever could. I will always remember the fun memories I had with him and I hope he is resting peacefully. It is sad to see such a great, young soul leave so soon. Many people along with myself will miss Trevor very much. I am sending prayers to his family and friends ❤

When I met Trevor, I was 16 and he was 19 working at CR Wings. He didn't hesitate to bring me in and accept despite our age difference. We bonded through our friends at work and through Xbox.  It was always a good time when Trevor was around and brought a smile to my face when I arrived to my shift and saw him there. He was the best manager/boss you could ask for.
I can't believe you're gone but I know all the Xbox boys will be together again someday. I wish I could've tagged along for one last cookie skillet but I might not have been cool enough for Brady, Balz, Devin, and Nick. As Bowen said, we'll carry on at UMD for you. Rest in Peace Trev!

I’ll never forget the late shifts at CR where Trevor would catch me taking wings. He’d say the same thing to me every time, “Bowen that’s 75¢ on your tab.” He was such a great boss and I know anyone who worked at CR enjoyed their time working with him. But Trevor was much more than an associate, he was truly a great friend. The xbox parties at 2am were always a blast, especially when Trevor and Nick would throw on the “Shnoz” skins and destroy all of us in some zone wars. Or how he would show no mercy to Parker, Kramer and myself in NHL 19 even though we were very inexperienced players. I really can’t believe you’re gone man. Parker and I will carry on that UMD legacy, and we’ll get a small bite with gold fever when we’re together again.

Trevor, 

From the shifts at CR Wings we had together, to the NHL games we played against each other in every night following that damn closing shift! Memories that will last a lifetime. One memory I will always remember with Trevor was his Snapchat streaks. He would always say “Happy Mondeeee or Happy Frideeee”. I remember always heckling him how the Ravens were better than the Lions, and just joking around constantly. An incredibly smart kid, who was just fun to be around. I hope you having many “Small bites with gold fever” with the man upstairs. I love you forever and always brother. We will remember you each and everyday. 

With Love,

Trevor was an amicable, hard-working student. It is sad to see him go. He was lost extremely early, but I cant interfere in God's will. The UMD engineering school has lost a gem. We pray that patience and strength is bestowed on his family at this time. We are extremely sorry for your loss. 

What a loss! First and foremost to his family, to his friends, to his colleagues, to the faculty who mentored him in the Gemstone Program, to the faculty who taught him, to his neighbors. Our sincere condolences to his family.
Alejandra Mercado

My heart goes to Your family, Trevor.  So bright, smart and hardworking , always fun to be around.  From the moment you started your job at CR wings it was a pleasure to have you on our team,  I always told you that I admire your mom,  how well she raised you, that you are so polite, are excellent at school and you always have nice and respectful things to say about her. You were a good manager at such a young age. It was always great to see you when you were visiting us after you left for college.  Although you will be missed a lot, You are in a better place now! Rest in piece Trevor. To Your dear Mom,  please stay strong, sending prayers your way.

Trevor, 
I do not know you personally but I happen be just like you an engineering student at Clark School aspiring to change the world by serving others through my profession. I learned of how dedicated and lovely person you were to your friends and classmates. I hope the sweet memories you left to those who dearly love you will last forever.  
You will be greatly missed and may you Rest In Peace.

Whenever I’d think about Trevor, the word selfless comes to mind. 

I first officially met Trevor senior year of high school when we had a class together. Our relationship consisted of getting our classwork done in 5 minutes and then doing buzzfeed quizzes for the rest of the class (sorry Mrs. Cap). Later during senior year, my friends and I were out and needed a ride home. Without hesitation, Trevor offered to take us home, without question, not even really knowing us. On the way back, Trevor got pulled over(for no reason, the cop was bored) and Trevor said “my mom is gonna be so mad” knowing he wasn’t supposed to be driving us because he did not have his license for long enough(sorry Mom). Good thing, the cop let us go because he realized we were just kids. From that day on, I knew I could count on Trevor. 

When college came around, we were all split but that did not effect our friendships, if anything, we became closer and hung out frequently over winter and summer break. All of the Basketball, xbox, food runs, you name it, we did it. I loved nothing more than going out to eat with Trevor. He would always order way too much food and then give the rest to me free of charge. 

Trevor continued to always be there for me whenever I needed anything, even a ride home at 2 in the morning. If I needed anything, Trevor was there for me. 

To Trevor’s mother and family,
My heart goes out to you all. Trevor was loved and cherished, and was an awesome person to know and be around. You rasied a hard working, caring person and for that I thank you. It was a pleasure having Trevor in my life. 

Trevor, I love you. I would do anything to dap you up one last time, and give you one more hug. But don’t worry, I’ll see you again one day. Love ya always, kiddo.

Trevor and I have been close friends ever since junior year of high school. We initially met each other in sophomore year from a group project we were assigned to, but I didn’t realize how much of an impact Trev would have on my life. There are so many memories we shared together, from the academic team tournaments (and dinners afterwards), to the late night CR shifts, to all those late night party chats on Xbox, or those times where all the boys would all get together for sports games (no matter the sport, he knew everything about it. It was unbelievable.)

It’s extremely hard to believe that Trevor isn’t here with us today. I will never forget the impact he’s had on not only my life, but everyone’s around me. Trev is and always will be my best friend. (I did steal that line from Nick but it’s too true not to include). We’ll have a huge boys reunion some day. I love you so much Trev, I always will. 

I am very grateful to say that me an Trevor had a very special friendship and bond that I will always remember. It seemed like us and the rest of “the boys” did everything together. Dinners at chili’s, academic team competitions, senior week, everything. My fondest memory of Trevor is when him, Devin, and I rode around in his car in the dead of night, with no goal, just sharing stories and laughs. I ended up sleeping in the back seat of his car with a head rest as my pillow. I always told Trevor that we should do another one of those dumb excursions before we grow old. We promise to let his legacy live on between our friend group and not let anyone forget just how great of a person Trevor truly was. Love you always.

Trevor was one of the most hard-working and amusing friends I knew. From high school physics to college calculus classes together, he always knew how to make me laugh and persevere through anything. We had many fond memories together as well as long talks that lasted for hours. From making smores to helping me with my cat, to watching my soccer game and going to tailgates or the pool, I will forever remember him and all of the times we had together. Right before spring break, I ran into him at the library, where we talked for 10 minutes. I don't usually see him on campus so I am forever thankful that I was able to have this moment with him. I wish I could have said more to him and it breaks my heart that it had to be this way. May he rest in peace and memory eternal. I give my deepest condolences to his family and may we all remember that he will always be with us. I'll miss you Trevor, thank you for all the memories.

I remember the first time that I ever met Trevor and I thought, "Wow, what a crazy bowl cut". Who knew that bowl cut kid would turn into my best friend? Trevor and I shared the same friend group throughout high school and we became extremely close because of it. We always used to go to Margherita's Pizza after school let out and just end up talking for hours. Eventually, college came, but that did not stop any of our friendships. I would say it brought us all a little closer together than further apart. 

Trevor is and always will be my best friend. He provided me with so many endless memories from the moment that I met him. One of my favorites has to be when he walked a bright pink stuffed animal dog down the ENTIRE Ocean City boardwalk just for a $10 bet. He made everyone laugh so hard at that moment and he made us all laugh every single day. 

It's impossible to believe that he is not here right now, but I know if he was that he would want everyone to keep being happy even during the darkest times. Trevor, I love you so much and I wish I had told you that a little more. You will always be a part of me and you will always be my best friend.

To Trevor's Mom- 
You raised an incredible son. He will always be incredible and there is nothing that could ever take that away. He talked about you all the time and he was always so thankful for you. Especially when you cleaned up Diesel's accidents for him. There is nothing that anyone can say to ease your pain right now and my heart is broken because of that. I just want you to know that we will always be here for you and your family. I considered Trevor to truly be like my brother and I will forever.

Trev, I'll see you someday okay? I'll do everything in my power to live every single day for you. My heart really is broken, but I know you would tell me to man up a little bit. I love you so much Trevor. You will always be my brother. 

Trevor was an amazing person. He was always full of life, a dedicated student, a hard worker and a gifted athlete. He had a terrific sense of humor and I’ll always remember the fun times we shared. He loved his mother and brother very much and his dogs. Poor Trevor was taken from us way too soon. I’ll always remember him and feel blessed to have known him in my life. May he Rest In Peace. 

I lived on the same floor with Trevor freshman year and I am a part of the same friend group that lived on that floor together. I got to know Trevor better when we went up to our friend Mike Mullee's house for a beach trip to close out the summer. I learned first hand what a unique sense of humor and way of thinking he has and why he is so well liked among our friend group.
