Trent James McManus enriched and brightened the lives of everyone around him with his warm smile and infectious fun loving nature. He will be remembered as a boy who loved people and was full of energy and life. Trent, age 10, unexpectedly passed on from this life to the next on August 21, 2016 at his home in New London.

He cheered for The Ohio State Buckeyes and Cleveland Browns, enjoyed singing and dancing, and was active in 4-H where he had recently won a silver platter award for his fast break fruit pizza. In addition to his parents, survivors include Trent's brothers (and buddies), Jonathan and Blaine, sister, Mirette; grandparents, Jim (Juanita) Oney and John (Roberta) McManus; several aunts and uncles, numerous cousins and many, many friends and a community who will miss him dearly.
