Trevor Frederickson

Trevor L. Frederickson, 21, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, and formerly of Atlantic, Iowa, passed away June 18, 2009, at his home in Council Bluffs.

Trevor Lee Joseph Frederickson was born March 15, 1988, in Atlantic, Iowa, the son of Gary Lee Frederickson and Melanie Rae (Barbero) Petty.

He attended grade school in Atlantic and graduated from Atlantic High School in 2006. Following graduation, he attended Southwestern Community College in Creston, Iowa. In 2008, he graduated with a degree in Automotive Repair. After graduation he moved to Council Bluffs, Iowa, and worked construction with his Dad. Trevor had a dream to be in law enforcement.

Trevor was a member of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church and was baptized on May 29, 1988, served First Communion on April 14, 1996, and was confirmed on April 13, 2002.

He will be remembered by his family for numerous things; some that stand out were his willingness to lend a helping hand, how responsible he was, and the goals he wanted to achieve. Trevor loved baseball and had played from the age of five all the way through college, and then continued to help coach Little League. When he was 14, his team made it to the Little League World Series in Fort Wayne, Indiana. When the little league diamonds would flood, he was there bright and early with waders on to help save equipment. The night before Trevor passed away he had been playing baseball for the Treynor Town Team, ending the night with a triple and a good pitching effort. Trevor loved his family and enjoyed spending time with his siblings. He had many other hobbies that included fishing and playing fetch with his dog, Grif.
