In Loving Memory of Robert "Bob" Trent

Robert "Bob" Trent of West Milford, NJ passed away on Tuesday, September 26, 2023, at the age of 64. Born on July 4th, 1959, to Raymond and Eileen Trent, he grew up in Wayne, NJ alongside his sister Kathie. He brought warmth and laughter to the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Bob's life was a testament to his passion for mechanics which began in his high school automotive class working on his '67 Mustang fastback alongside his partner in crime, Ranger.  Not only did the Mustang get him into some trouble, it also helped capture the attention of Sharon, whom he later married. He dedicated his entire career to the world of engines and grease, working as a mechanic, where his expertise was unmatched. Not only did he cherish his fastback, but also his '67 Mustang convertible, '62 Falcon ranchero, and "Moe", his trusted backhoe.

Beyond his love for all things mechanical, Bob was a hardworking man who took pride in providing for his family. Bob and his wife Sharon raised two wonderful children, who were the pride and joy of his life. Bob is survived by his wife, Sharon; sister, Kathie and her husband Peter; son, Eric and daughter-in-law Ashley, and daughter, Amy and son-in-law Scott. His legacy extends to his role as a loving grandfather to Leah and Calvin.

As we mourn the loss of Bob, we also celebrate the beautiful life he lived and the love he shared. His memory will continue to live on in the hearts of his family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, those planning an expression of sympathy in Bob's name are asked to consider donations to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), 4301 Wilson Blvd, Suite 300, Arlington, VA 22203, be made in his memory.
