Steven Trent Selden Tribute

I remember the many times Trent visited our home in Miami when I was a child. He was my 'big brother', Dave's good friend. A specific memory was when he and Dave created rubber band guns and took over our house keeping me and my friend, Mary outside. It was all in good fun, and Mary and I finally used garbage can lids as shields to gain access inside, and the game was over.
Trent visited my family many years later in the Seattle area. We went to Mt. Rainier on an absolutely beautiful day. I remember how the mountain awed Trent, especially because he had grown up in the very flat Florida.
All his life Trent retained a child-like honesty that was one of his most endearing traits from the time he was a teen. It was tough to know he was fighting such an intense disease. He was such a strong young man. But even though his body's strength was attacked, his character and loving heart stayed strong. He lived many years with pride and joy in his beloved wife and two boys.
