>> August 6, 1962 – January 19, 2019 <<

Michael C. Trent, the beloved son of Marcia Trent and his late father,
Retired Chief Master Sergeant Bobby Trent, died on Saturday, Jan. 19,
2019. Michael passed while doing what he loved, bow hunting in the
mountainous terrain near the Kabba Wash.

Michael had been an Arizona resident for about 37 years living in
Tucson and outside Tombstone before making his home at Mountain View
Ranch outside Kingman. He was a modern-day outdoorsman who loved God
first, his family, dear friends, country music, hunting, boating, and
was a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment. His love for life
made everyone he met want to know him even more.

Michael’s passion for the outdoors started very young. At 10 he
declared he wanted to be a forest ranger. That love for the outdoors
never left him. In fact, he spent approximately 10 years working for
the Forestry Service, Fish and Wildlife Department, and Bureau of
Indian Affairs. He went on to devote another 26 years with Bureau of
Land Management before retiring as the district fire management
officer. Michael’s work ethic was second to none. Safety for his
firefighters’ lives was always of paramount importance. But he also
elevated their lives by helping them realize their full potential.

Michael was a loving and loyal man, who was endlessly devoted to his
wife, Jerri Lynn Trent. Michael also loved and is survived by his
sisters; Debbie Montellano and Cindy Trent, brother; David Trent,
daughter; Jandi Kulaga, brother-in-law; Monty Montellano, sister-in-
law; Courtnay Trent, son-in-law; Greg Hughes, as well as several
caring nieces and a nephew. All of us were blessed to know his
devotions and caring ways.

Services will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 17 at the Grand Event
Center, 515 E. Beale St., Kingman, Arizona. A reception is to follow
at 4:30 PM at the same venue.
