Trenton Dean Inabnit arrived into this world on April 21, 1990 in the loving arms of his parents, Mark and Kim (Gustafson) Inabnit. He returned to God’s loving arms on Sunday, April 17, 2011, nearly four years after a brave and courageous battle with melanoma. He went to Heaven at his home surrounded by his loving family.
Trenton was born in Edmonds, Washington. At the age of two his family moved to Sedro-Woolley where he was raised and attended school.
He loved life. Even as a little boy he was always exploring the world, curious about everything. Running around with his blond curly hair, big brown eyes and a beautiful smiled that melted your heart.
Like so many young boys he played sports, rode motorcycles, dirt bikes, shot BB guns and as he got older he loved to go up in the woods with his dad and buddies to target practice.
He also loved to go fishing, swimming, snow boarding, boating, skiing and camping. He loved music, videos, movies and playing with his dogs Chase and Buddy. He also loved to travel and go on vacations to places like Hawaii, Idaho, California, Yellow Stone and Mount Rushmore. Just last month his wish came true to return to Disneyland and Universal Studios. He had so much fun.
Trenton leaves his loving parents, Mark & Kim. Grandparents, Dean & Geri Inabnit, Diane Gustafson, Bob & Debi Gustafson and Bill Storie; Great-grandmother, Lorna Gustafson; Aunts, Karie Rolan, Alene Walker (George), Kelli Harris (Richard), Shannon Meadows (Zane) Becki Vosburgh (Jeremy) and Michelle Jensen (Kris); Uncles, Ed Berg (Julie), Mark Moran (Ronie), Cassedy Storie and Jerry Forbes and the cousins who he loved to spend time with, Cooper, Payton, Katelin, Chloe, Braiden, Kamryn and Justin. He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Della Inabnit and great-grandparents, Elmer Gustafson, Helen Meins and Georgia Schopf.

Mark and Kim,
Our sincere condolences to you and your family on the loss of your son.
Mark and Kim, I wanna thank you for sharing Trent with our family. He was such a blessing in our lives and it’s hard to think he wont be with us any longer. Its hard to explain how I feel about Trent, he was more than a friend, he was a brother to me. His special relationship with Johnny was indescribable. I don’t know what to think when I think of how Johnny is going to go on with out him. Trent was one of the most special/important people in my life, I just hope he knew that. You two raised the best son, he was the most respectful, honest, and brave young man I will ever have the pleasure of knowing, let alone calling my family. Thank you also for everything you have done for Johnny, he was lucky to call Trent his Best friend for so long. lets take comfort in knowing hes not in pain anymore, hes a beautiful angel. I will remember every lucky moment I got to spend with him. I love you Brother Trenton now and for-ever! Thanks again K&M
I did not know you well Trenton but I knew you well enough to know you were a diamond in the rough. You came to my house a few times to hang out with my two teenagers, and you were so quite and well behaved. Not all of our teen visitors could I say that about. You will be missed by many people. I am glad I got to spend at least a little time with you at least. I hope you got your balloons on your Birthday. We sent them airmail!
Mark ~ I am tremendously saddened by the loss of your young boy. In most kind regards. ~ Brett, Darcy, and Arlis

We are so sorry for your loss. Trenton shared his Grandma “Teacher Debi” with our daughter Shelby and the rest of the pre-school class. It seems like yesterday. Please keep each other close and the memories of Trenton closer. Our love and prayers go out to you all.

I’ll always remember Trenton at M.P. Elem. school as the cute little boy student who was always doing what he was supposed to be doing. He was always quiet, polite and so nice.
I knew then he was a special kid. I’m so sad for your family. Peace be with you all.
Our Hearts and Prayers go out to each and everyone of you! Trenton is a Shinning Star! Love from our family to yours, Doug, Mary Lou, Jeremy & Jamie, Josh Jones
What a loss! I only knew Trenton a few weeks in 2008 when we shared a hospital room in Seattle. His courage and attitude was such an inspiration to me as I coped with my own health problems. I will be eternally grateful to Trenton and Kim for letting me be a part of their world. Rest in peace, Trenton.
Kim and Mark, today is Trenton’s 21st birthday. We will all gather to celebrate his life and shed some tears while we remember him. Finally he is at peace and out of pain. I hope your healing can begin soon as you and we move on in life without Trenton. I am so sorry.

To the family, I am so sorry for you loss. I’m sorry I never met Trenton. He sounds like he was quite a character <3
Rest in Peace, Trenton. In Peace there is no pain.
My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
To Trenton’s family I am glad I was able to help give you some last happiness with your son, grandson and cousin. He left us knowing a love many of us we never know. We will be praying for all of you that your sorrow will not totally over come you. In God’s love the Perry’s
To All of Trenton’s Family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I remember Trenton when he was in pre-school with my daughter, Ricci Peters. Every morning his beautiful mom, Kim would bring him in the door and he would run to his Grandma, Teacher Debi with arms wide open and give her the biggest hug. It was truly a wonderful sight. Trenton looks like he grew into a very wonderful, courageous young man. I wouldn’t have expected anything different with all of his loving family around him. I pray for all of you, that you find the peace and comfort that you will need in the coming days and years. Love to all, Tina
Diane, Bob, and Family,
Sending you prayers and condolences. Never met your Grandson but know how precious they are. Thinking of you in your loss and hoping all the good memories will fill your hearts and minds.

Dear Kim & Mark,
There is nothing I can say that could possibly make you feel any better. Trenton was an incredible young man and I feel so honored to have gotten to be apart of his life. I will never forget his curly blond hair when he was a little boy. Nor will I forget the many firework displays he put on over the 4th of July. He was very courageous and put up a good fight! I value the precious time I got to have with him in his last days and I will forever treasure those memories. Kim and Mark, you raised a fine young man and I am so sorry he was taken so soon. I love you both so much!
Trenton, you will be so very missed and I will carry you in my heart for the rest of my life.
xoxo

Diane I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of your grandson. My heart goes out to you and your family during your time of sorrow.
Trenton was always full of adventure and always had a smile on his face. I’ve knew Trenton since be was about 12 when he was on my brothers baseball team. Him and Johnny were inseparable and me being part of the crew that we had it feels like I’ve lost a brother too. He had a heart of gold and his smile was priceless. We all love and miss you Trenton. God bless lil guy.
I hung out with Trenton and Johnny in school. Trenton was such a grateful person with so much love to give. We didn’t hang out much but from the times we did I knew he was a great person. We love u Trenton and u will never be forgotten!!! RIP xo xo

Anyone who knew trenton, knew he was born to be a angel Trenton and my son johnny were best friends . Johnny and trent would spend hours playing video games, go on drives, take the dogs on drives,Last month Johnny joined trentons family with there trip to disneyland and universal studios. We were so glad they got to go !! In the summer the boys would sit on our deck and play cards , Trenton played like a pro, He taught us so much. Trenton has touched our lifes so much, In the spring Trenton and Johnny would go to Northern state pond and catch 70 fish in one day and let them all go . They both were to old to fish there but they both looked so young they never got caught. Trenton I could go on forever about how you made our world a better place , We will never forget you , GOD BLESS YOU SON,We will see you again , Johnny ,kyle susan john ,kaylee and logan Allison.

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”
The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”
We love you Trenton and will never forget the impact you had on our lives. We will truly miss you dearly, until we meet again! Love Shannon, Zane, Katelin and Kamryn xoxo
