R.I.P. Trev

Saturday July 2nd my friend Trevor Olsen got in a car accident and passed away. He was with his cousin Tanner who also passed away. My sister called me and told me the news, I didn't believe it at first so I called my best friend Hunter who was best friends with Trevor. I asked him what happened and he told me that Trevor had passed away. I hung up the phone and cried for hours. It was so hard for me to accept that he had passed away. I had literately just talked to him earlier this month about meeting his roommate Brant when he took a trip to Utah. We talked about his future college plans, going to Eastern Washington with his girlfriend Catie. Trevor was always the happiest kid, always smiling at everyone. Hunter had moved into my house during high school, so I saw Trevor a lot. He was always over with hunter playing games or just hanging out. I remember making cookies in the kitchen and they came in late at night and ate almost all of them. They were always giving me a hard time about everything, I could never say anything without them saying little comments back. All of their weird things they would say like "we are freeenz", " we are freenz till the end", they would just start laughing and I would ask why they were laughing and they would say " oh just something funny that happened at school today" even if it was a Saturday... oh how I miss those sayings. I loved playing madden with them or mostly watching them play ha ha. They were like the brothers I never had. I loved hanging out with them. Trevor was always around so he met our foreign exchange student from Germany and would come to the little activities with all of us. He was always so friendly and became good friends with Mareike. He was such a good friend to me and many others. I know he is doing great in heaven watching over all his friends and family. I know that someone passing away is a hard thing to get over, but I know that I will be able to see him again once I return to heaven. I know he is continuing on with his life... just on the other side. I know he is touching other peoples lives up in heaven and blessing his family everyday. I will miss hanging out with him when I am home. I will always remember all the memories we had together with our friends. Trev you will always be in my heart. Continue to pour blessings out to your family and Catie, they need your strength. Love ya Trev!
Going through this experience and having many other friends throughout my high school days pass away has made me realize how lucky I am to have the gospel in my life. I am glad to know that our life continues after death and that families can be together forever. I know that our work still continues on in the next life and we continue to touch others lives. Love ya always and forever trev!!!! we are freenz til the end :)
