Organ Donor

Age 24

Honored by Trenton’s Legacy Arkansas

Trenton was a very trustworthy, big hearted, fun to be around kind of person. His sarcastic charm made you laugh and feel special. He had the biggest, most beautiful blue eyes. Trenton was very responsible, hard-working, and very successful in his short life. Trenton had decided years before to be an organ donor and probably never had to think twice about it. After Trenton passed while they were preparing for organ transplant, his family had a day to hold him and say good bye. Trenton’s heart, liver, and both kidneys were donated. He saved the lives of three people. He positively influenced people and in death he has continued to do the same.

Trenton’s Story

In August 2012 a month shy from turning 25 Trenton Duane Williams lost his life from a neck fracture that ultimately led to drowning. Trenton was a very trustworthy, big hearted, fun to be around kind of person. When he loved you he loved you with everything in him. His sarcastic charm made you laugh and feel special. He had the biggest most beautiful blue eyes you have ever seen. Trenton was very responsible and hard working. He was very successful in his short life. He hadn’t married or had children yet but loved to be surrounded by friends and family. Trenton had decided years before to be an organ donor and probably never had to think twice about it. After Trenton passed while they were preparing for organ transplant we had a day to hold him and say good bye for now. Trenton’s heart liver and both kidneys were donated. He saved the lives of three people. In life he positively influenced people and in death he has continued to do the same. Our family has had the pleasure of meeting one recipient who has become like our second family. We also have written and spoken to one of the other recipients. Organ donation has become a big part of our healing process. We as Trenton’s family will always continue to fulfill his legacy because of him three people live today.
