Trent J. Neal's Obituary
Our beloved Trent Neal of Lorain Ohio passed away unexpectedly on June 18th, 2023.
Trent Neal was born on August 11th, 1994 in Lorain Ohio, where he enjoyed being a part of the community around him. Trent graduated from Amherst Steele High School in 2012, and built his career at Ford Motor Company, Local Union 2000 of Avon.
Trent is predeceased by his grandparents: Tomas E. Perez, Geraldine M. Perez, Lillian M. (Prola) Neal. He is survived by his father: Jeffrey W. Neal, mother: Andrea M. (Perez) Neal, sister: Tori Neal, grandfather: William T. Neal, extended family, and his many friends that became family.
Trent was an amazing son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, mentor, and friend. To know Trent was to love him, there was no way around it. His laugh, smile, and outlook on life was unlike anyone else’s. He shaped the lives of so many, showing them what it really meant to live life to the fullest each and every day. He enjoyed wrenching on anything with a motor, boating, fishing, kayaking, and four-wheeling. He was extremely talented and could ride anything with wheels and fix anything that was broken. He loved to teach people how to do and enjoy the things he loved, and everyone looked up to him, old and young. Although his list of hobbies is endless, what he truly loved was being around people. No matter who you were, Trent would be there to welcome you with open arms. He had the unique ability to make everyone around him feel so loved and so full of life. The world needs more people like Trent, and we hope that his free spirit and thirst for adventure will live on in all of the lives he touched.
