A friend· January 18, 2026

June 13, 1996 Trev and I went on our first date, it was a blind date. When they told me what he did I said "Nope." Then later I said yes. We went to Pizza Hut and then he asked if I wanted to rent a movie. I said sure and so we went to the movie store and we picked out Crimson Tide. Only later to find out that both of us had already seen it but didn't want to tell the other that. Walking out to his truck from the store is when he told me he lived at the funeral home and that was where we had to go. We watched the movie and he took me home. We pulled into the drive way and he asked if he could have a kiss. I said yes, and he said, "on the cheek of course." Three months later we were engaged, and eight months later married. He was a person that loved to be at home, but was always there when you needed it. He would compalin about it, but he did it anyways. He always wanted to make sure that we went on vacation every year. We were supposed to goto Gatlinburg for our honeymoon. Well, work came before everything so we didn't go. Once the boys were 5 and 3 we began going to Gatlinburg almost yearly, when we weren't in Wyoming. This year in January he said he and I were going to go on that trip finally. Just he and I. We had never in almost 29 years gone anywhere just the two of us. He picked out the cabin and everything we did. I’m so glad we took that trip. His kids and grandkids came before anything. If you knew Trev you would text "busy" to him. If he wasn't we all knew to expect your phone to ring. He always looked forward to his 5:00 AM phone calls from Nate. This was their time. He would worry if his phone didn't ring. His texts from Jake because Jake never really talks on the phone because their schedules were different. But during deer season, he’d love to get those texts saying "got one." He loved to tease McKenzie lately saying their little one was going to be red headed and ornery. Kaylee, well we won't go there with her driving and the one and only time he rode with her. Then I'd say, Hey call Kaylee. He'd look over at me and say "she's not gonna answer." He was just becoming buddies with Leena. She was now on the move playing and being a stinker. Not to mention she could eat whatever she wanted now and let’s be real, Trevor‘s love for ice cream and Oreos is well shared with both the girls. I could see her walking over to him right now with her arms up in the air and him saying oh “Helen lean against her.” He loved to change her name. Then there’s Lylah, she was his best little buddy. I know there were times he would go out back of the house in hopes that she would see him, He said that’s not what he was doing when I called him out on it one time, but we all know differently. Then the phone would ring and Kaylee would say Lylah just saw Pawpaw. Lylah would call on her iPad and say what’s Pawpaw doing? I just saw him outside. He would also drive by as slow as he could in front of their house, hoping to catch a glimpse of her standing in the front door or possibly be outside in the yard playing. I would pick her up from school on Monday and we would text Pawpaw are you busy? He would say either say yes, yes be quiet or no He wasn’t busy. She’d run to the Funeral Home door once we got there, run straight to his desk and jump up on his lap and grab His Trump pen and play with it with him. Nobody else could eat out of the ice cream container, but he and Lylah eating butter pecan. Me, I was his Thelma. I can’t even tell you how many times we watched that movie. I actually remember him introducing me one time as Thelma then laughing when the person looked funny at both of us. I was even in his phone as Thelma. I remember the first time Laura answered his phone right when she started working at the funeral home and she said Trevor‘s phone may I help you, she didn’t know. The countless times I’ve had to sit through episode after episode of Seinfeld or watch Jeremiah Johnson, the Cowboys, Remember the Titans and My Cousin Vinny. I believe I can recite the entire script of those movies and lines in those episodes. Not many people got to see the side of Trevor I did. The last year’s have been a struggle with my health and he has continued to worry about me. I’d get the texts, How do you feel? Can I do anything, Want Me to bring you lunch, to even hair care products that might help me with my hair. He had his funny way of sending memes just at the most in opportune time, which would make me smile. He was absolutely truly my best friend. I moved straight out of my parents home and into a home with Trev that’s all I’ve ever known. We’ve laughed, cried, fought, and made up. We’ve loved each other through some amazing times And hard times. Oh how I would love to hear Him say, "of course you’ve seen my wife." I Was blessed with 28 years, 9 months and 30 days with Trev. That amounts to 15,163,200 minutes. And what I wouldn’t do to have just one more minute with him to tell him I love him. He was my world through everything.
