I met Trent at a wedding in NZ and immediately he touched my heart! I will always remember him as the great, fun, warm, caring person who enjoyed life and people and who wasn't scared to follow his dream to be a world photographer. He was and will continue to be a great inspiration for many of us! I hope you know Trent that you have touched so many lifes and you are greatly missed and you will never be forgotten!

I also did not know Trent, however I watched the documentary screened in NZ last night. Firstly, I am so sorry for your loss. Trent has left behind an amazing legacy of compassion and bravery that continues to inspire -even strangers like myself.

I didn't know Trent but i am watching the documentry on him on television and would just like to give my condolences to Trent's family. What a truly amazing guy. With the goldest of hearts. I too know of the pain to lose someone, recently losing my friend in May this year. So my heart truly goes out to all those who knew and loved Trent. He's touched my heart - And i never even met him. Thoughts are with you all always xxxx

The colours of the Rainbow will never seem the same A misty morning at Victoria Falls the tears now fall like rain It's been so long since I saw your face The cobblestones on a distant land I will never forget that place Like the ripples in a pond you reached all of us We celebrate your life you achieved so much. You are greatly missed. Love Ann xx

Your absence still weighs heavily Trent. The scouts at Our Lady of Nazareth school in Mukuru slums planted a small tree to remember your visit there. Sadly, although you worked so hard to expose the injustices against the Maasai people in Tanzania, they still suffer at the hands of ruthless and brutal international safari companies. There's a report that just this week two young children, aged eleven and thirteen, were badly beaten and hospitalised by security guards at a Game Reserve, for the 'crime' of herding their goats too close to the disputed land at Sukenya, Northern Tanzania.

Like Caelen, I only learned of Trent's death this morning. We had been reminiscing about him over the weekend and it struck me that it had been too long since we had been in touch. I googled him intending to make contact, and I was horrified and deeply saddened to learn about what had happened. Trent was a great guy - fun, kind, thoughtful, goodhearted. I have so many fond memories of time spent climbing and just hanging out. Much love to all of Trent's family.

It was only this morning that I learnt of Trent's death. We used to rock climb with him in Ireland when he used to be a chippie. We had many long talks about his desire to become a professional photographer and we took great pleasure in the success he made. I can say, without doubt, that he was one of the humblest, well intentioned person I have met. It was an absolute privilege to spend time with him. I will miss him greatly
