Trevor will be greatly missed. I learned the game of football (sort of) when my son started playing in high school. Listened to Trevor on the radio while watching the kids on the field.

He was the successor of Tim Ray years ago. He came to Sheridan with a new hipper way of announcing the high school sports scene. I truly believe he could make a game that was a total blowout and make it sound interesting and exciting. RIP old friend

Trevor was my best friend through 3rd grade & we were so competitive with each other. Our dad’s would & the 2 of us would have a football game every Sunday before the Vikings played. Was a friendship I cherished & wish it could have continued for many more years. Thoughts & prayers are with Gordie & Carolyn & 3 siblings. Rest in peace my old friend.

Trevor was a pro and had a great quick sense of humor. It was fun doing games along side him. I was interviewed by him when promoting kids polo and rodeo and he was so welcoming when you showed up and always tried to help with your promotion. He was a kind funny guy who bled Blue and Gold

Words alone, cannot express the huge loss Trevor’s passing is for his family and our community. I thoroughly enjoyed my relationship with Trevor as a friend and coach. He was a warm, honest, and caring person as well as an outstanding broadcaster. God rest your soul.

I was delighted the one time Trevor played golf with Linda and me. It took a great deal of patience for anyone to play with such a slow old lady. On hole #5 Trevor gathered up his business voice to broadcast my very mediocre play. Happily we were not on the air, but it sure was fun to hear his kind efforts to make some awful hits sound important. Rest in peace Dear Trevor and thanks for the memory.

I was so shocked to hear about the passing of my good friend! We spent many hours together on the baseball and softball Fields over many years and many hours broadcasting baseball and basketball you on the radio and me in the field or on the Court. I will cherish our discussions before and after the game even when we disagreed, we always respect each other and we learned a lot from each other. Till we meet again my friend may God hold and comfort you there and your family here. I sure miss you already.
