A wonderful life that ended way to early... We love you Uncle Trevor and you will never be forgotten.

I have been told lately that the best way to heal is to share your thoughts and feelings... This is my way of expressing our love as a family for a wonderful man that we truly thought the world of...

I had a post in December about Uncle Trevor and his condition. It breaks my heart to say that last week Trevor went home to be with the Lord. I am thankful that he is no longer in any pain, however, I am deeply saddened for his family left behind in pain. Please keep the Litzerman family in your thoughts and prayers. Aunt Laura is so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family to help her through this difficult time, however, she could still use all of your prayers.

I have not been able to get Uncle Trevor, Aunt Laura and the kids out of my mind. I keep picturing little Sydney rubbing the tv and kissing the tv when her daddy's picture played across the tv screen. That thought just brings me a great deal of sadness. But with loving friends and family support, she will continue to remember how much her daddy cared for and loved her and Ethan and Kaylie. If you just look at Trevor you see the happiness in his eyes and this was a true happiness for his family, his career and his friends and most of all for God. We will miss you!!!! And we love you!!!

I've been following his journey since your post and was sad to hear that his life here ended, but rejoicing that he is with our Father. I'm sorry for the hurt family is experiencing here, though.
Can I do anything?

Jon, Julie, Jarod, & Jacob,,

There are no words to express my appreciation for including Trevor in your blog. He always enjoyed the visits from you all when in the hospital. He life did end 'way to early' & will be missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him. God bless you and hold you in his loving arms.
