Trent’s life revolved around his family and the communities that he served diligently. He and his wife were proud owners of Moore’s Restaurant for 32 years.

He treated his employees with respect and loved them like his own family.

Trent’s devotion to service was not only limited to his business. He served the Town of Jumpertown as an Alderman, Interim Mayor, and Elected Mayor. He also served Prentiss County as an Interim and Elected Justice Court Judge with patience, fairness, and equality.
