After his honorable discharge from the military, Trevor attended a trade school for HVAC, leading him to starting his business as owner and operator of Briggs Heating and Cooling, a business that thrived under his leadership until his well-earned retirement in 2019.

Trevor's intelligence was matched only by his handiness. There was no task too daunting, no repair too complex for him to tackle. He was the quintessential handyman, always ready with the right tool and the knowledge to fix any problem.

Always farm-boy at heart, Trevor always appreciated his Aunt Sandy “doctoring” him up from his most recent farming mishap. As he grew older, he took great pride in helping his nieces and nephews at the farm show and prepping the cows. Many ribbons were awarded because of his advice and devotion to the craft.

A devout Christian, Trevor's faith was the cornerstone of his life. His love and belief in Jesus were evident in his actions and his unwavering integrity. He lived his life as a testament to his faith, helping create an “All Sinners Welcome” men’s prayer group, that would meet around a neighbor's fire pit. Trevor helped install a water system.

during his mission trip to Cameroon, Africa; a trip that he would later consider a life-changing and uplifting event.

Trevor was well known “Prepper” devoting his spare time to the construction of “Curmudgen Mountain” his off-grid property. He was always thrilled to show off his accomplishments to any “Yankees” who came down for a visit.

Trevor's interests and hobbies were as varied as his talents. Whether he was fine-tuning a heating system or engaging in a deep conversation about his faith, he approached every activity with passion and enthusiasm. His presence was a blessing, and his absence will be deeply felt by the many lives he touched.
