He went on to further his education at Southwestern Community College in Creston where he studied automotive mechanics and played baseball for the Southwestern Spartans. Two additional $750 scholarships will be available for Southwestern Community College Students this fall.

Trevor, who passed away in 2009 had plans of pursuing a career in law enforcement and returning to his hometown of Atlantic. Fund for the scholarships are raised at our annual golf tournament.
