Trevor was proud of his 20-year career as a paramedic and worked for the ambulance
service EHS Nova Scotia. He also served as a volunteer fire fighter for Scotchtown Fire
Department and was a member of HAS-MAT response team CBRM until he became
disabled. Trevor’s disability as a double amputee didn’t stop him as he was determined
to live independently. He started his own medical company as a first aid instructor.
Trevor was very accomplished in his young life with his extra curriculum and hobbies.
He held Canadian Safety Courses for ATVs, Pleasure craft boat course, and Wildlife
resource card hunters’ safety.
Trevor was well known to his friends as (Tiny) in the Community of New Waterford
Cape Breton and would be seen driving in his electric wheelchair to visiting friends, to
attend local social events and the daily tasks such as groceries, banking, etc. Despite
his many setbacks and health issues, Trevor always had a big smile, waved to Passers
by and was genuinely interested to speak to anyone who took the time. Trevor will be
remembered for his overly generous spirit and his large presence. Trevor loved to
tease and help anyone in need. His big heart was overflowing with kindness and his
friendly disposition was known to get him in trouble at times. (He was well known as
someone who would give the shirt off his back) He will be greatly missed by his family,
friends and his dog, Callie his closest companion who is now in the care of Trevor’s
friend Randy.
A celebration of life has already taken place at the East Coast Pro Wrestling Club in
New Waterford on Saturday October 1 2022 where many of his friends gathered to
honour him and pay tribute.
Cremation has taken place under the guidance of Forest Haven Memorial Gardens in
Sydney, Cape Breton and his remains have been returned to his family in Hatchet Lake,
where he will be buried next to his mother and twin brother in a family-owned cemetery.
