Trevor was a gift from God, who was called home to be with the Lord. He enjoyed playing in the mud and was fascinated with bugs. He also enjoyed taking baths and playing in the tub, even after the water was all drained. Trevor couldn’t get enough of Alvin and the Chipmunks and their music. He watched Thomas the Train and could name all the trains on The Island of Sodor. When Trevor found a penny, it was the best thing ever, and was known as his “Lucky Day”. Most of all he loved spending time with his mom and papa.
Trevor will be dearly missed by his mother, Shannon of Hanover; father, Russell of Mount Carroll, Illinois; two brothers, Christopher McColley of Hanover and Nathan McColley of Mount Carroll; maternal grandparents, John Schuyler of Hanover and Sharon (Randy) Myli of Peoria, Illinois; paternal grandparents, Richard (Ruth) McColley of Mount Carroll; maternal great grandmother, Diane (Joe) Russell of North Fort Myers, Florida; paternal great grandmother, Mary Chadwick of Savanna, Illinois; and several aunts, uncles and cousins. Trevor is preceded in death by great grandfathers.
