Family members say he was the type of person who would drop everything to help someone in need, always willing to lend a hand or a listening ear.
He was especially close to his younger cousins and was known to spend hours playing with them, teaching them about bikes, or just making them laugh. In his circle of friends, he was the life of the group—always bringing the energy, always bringing people together.
Community in Mourning
Rutland has responded with an outpouring of love and support. Friends and family have set up a memorial at the crash site, leaving flowers, candles, and photographs to honor Trevon’s memory.

“Trevon was the kind of student you don’t forget—kind, curious, and full of life. His loss is not just a personal one, it’s a loss for our entire community.”
Honoring His Memory
