My name is Jason Overstreet and Trevor was my brother in law. When we first met we used to joke that we were the only two white men in the family and how we should support each other. Trevor has always been a hard-working man and did what he could to provide for his family and his knowledge for handiwork and craftsmanship has always astounded me and his enthusiasm about it was very contagious. When we worked together we would talk about art, painting and drawing and I've always been amazed at his paintings. We often often talked about God and said how much Jesus meant so much in our lives.
Trevor was a very knowledgeable and talented man, a good father and a good husband to his wife Dunia. Although I will miss you brother-in-law, we will all be reunited One Day in heaven. Thank you heavenly Father for taking care of Trevor.

Your brother in law, Jason (Jay)

I am 10 years 16 days older than you Trevor, the younger brother I always wanted. When we met there was an instant bond like we had known each other our entire lives. We became thick as thieves. You were one of the kindest most generous souls I ever had the opportunities of knowing. There will be a hole in my heart, I will love and miss you until we reunite again in heaven. Dunia you and the children have my utmost sympathy and condolences. I love all y'all dearly.
