"If life please us, then death,

Being made by the hands of the same Creator,should not displease us."

Trent J Holding, 25, left our family to find peace on March 9, 1996.

He was born on March 13, 1971 to Brent Herbert and Reva Crow Holding, Salt Lake City, Utah. He graduated from Granite High School in 1989. He was a member of the LDS Church, residing in the Winder Stake. Trent's happiest times were those spent with his son, Gavin, especially hunting, fishing and camping. He also enjoyed archery, softball, skiing, and our annual hunting trips at the Merkley cabin. We will miss "Uncle TJ" and those enthusiastic qualities that made him so special to our family.

"Open my eyes that I might see truth and its reality

Open my ears that I might hear your voice and know that you are near,

Touch my heart that I might know love and compassion as I go.

Direct my life that I might trod the path that leads to you, oh God."
