Trevor James Bartholomew

Trevor James Bartholomew, who graduated from Whittell High School in 2000, died Jan. 21, 2017. He was 34.

He was born Feb. 19, 1982, and grew up in Stateline.

At Whittell he played soccer, was a member of the ski team, and was loved by his classmates. His sense of humor and ability to make others laugh was unlike any other.

Whether he was hiking, backpacking, rock climbing Lover’s Leap or racing down the slopes at Heavenly, he loved and longed to be in the great outdoors.

As Trevor aged, he bravely endured life’s physical and mental challenges. He cared so deeply about our world. There was a frustration, hope and an intense drive to make positive changes.

Trevor is survived by his parents, Mark and Stephanie, younger brother Chase, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.
