“Our son was our blue eyed golden boy with his cheeky smile that got him away with almost anything with his mum. He was his dad’s right hand man and his best friend.
“He trained hard at Marvin’s Gym (Team Greaves) for a number of years and he well and truly looked up to his trainer with lots of love and respect.
“He was a polite, well respected young man who has touched the lives of many people in Oldham and the love we have felt from the Oldham community has been very heart warming.
“We have to live with this loss for the rest of our lives. It’s left us all as a family truly devastated and our lives will never be the same again
“Forever in our hearts. Trent, we love you xx.”
