September 1, 2024Dear all I send my Deepes condolences to all the family and friends who were lucky enough to know Trev..throughout my time at Comfest . He was a lovely man and always supported me and passed on his
friendly smile..Sadly missed.
September 2, 2024One of the best, taken way too soon. Our favourite Trev memory was his ability to turn his hand to anything but his love of always sharing his skills with everyone was what made Trev stand out from the crowd. To Trev’s Family and many, many Friends we hope this difficult journey adjusting to life without this wonderful, inspirational man will become easier with time. Trev you are already missed and will be for a long time to come. Loved you then, love you now, love you long time. Marky Mark and Suzie❤️
September 2, 2024Trevor was a pure gem. I first met Trevor at ConFest 2018. The set up crew were in a major panic due to our water systems not being ready for the thousands of festival goers who were about to arrive. Trevor went for a walk and saw one camp set up with running water and asked the owner how he managed that, he found that Shalom worked in irrigation. So Trev went to work, developed a crew, salvaged all hosing he could get from our old site, read the rules to the old guard who were wanting to use an unsuitable system, garnered support from those who held the purse strings and bought the necessary equipment. Worked around the clock

and vola water was distributed to thousands of people. He had come for rest and relaxation., little did he know what he would sign himself up to. We soon made Trev our water facilitator,. The quality of the water is now so pure that the towns people come to consult with Down To Earth Co-op about the system. Rest in peace my darling Trevor. I will always have fond memories of what you were able to achieve.
