Mark Joseph Trento
1966-2021
TRENTO, Mark
Joseph
It is with profound sadness that we share our loss. After a
long and courageous battle with Scleroderma, Mark passed peacefully at
Guelph General Hospital on Monday, March 29th,
with his sister and niece by his side. Cherished son of John
and Shirley Trento, and predeceased by his mother, Virginia Trento.
Beloved brother to Patricia Burgess (Kevin), and stepbrother to Dean
Morrison (Amanda), Dale Morrison (Charmaine) and their children
Chaunda and Cole. Predeceased by stepbrother Tim Morrison. Devoted
“Uncle Mark” to Courtney Trento (and son Caphrey),
Aaron and Rowan Burgess, Alex Green (and daughter Mackenzie), and
Mikey Hamilton. Nephew of Amelia Stradiotto (Dino), Rita Zolnai
(Steve), Celia and Gino Visentin, Mario and Marie Pagnan. Predeceased
by Savino and Dorothy Trento, Carlo and Nellie Trento, Nini and Judy
Trento. Lifelong Friend and “Marco” to Dave and
Rhonda Green, Judy and Ian Horne, Paul and Ellen Hamilton, Jerome and
Terri O’Hanlon, Doug and Colleen Lucas, Richie, Ed, Rick,
Eagles, Brad, Karen, Kris, Deb, and Donna.
Mark was a very social and outgoing person, making friends
everywhere he went. He loved great food and music and always tried to
enjoy the moment. An avid hockey and baseball fan, he was a regular in
the stands cheering on the Guelph Storm and Royals. He developed a
passion for horses at an early age and became a proud and devoted
horseman. Despite a difficult diagnosis and prognosis, Mark was
determined to live life to the fullest, and did so with courage and
strength, fighting to stay with us for over 20 years. The Trento
family would like to express our sincere appreciation to the ICU and
Step-down Nurses at Guelph General Hospital, for their care and
compassion throughout his final days.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In honour
of his love for horses, the family is creating “The Mark
Trento Saddle Up Program”, to provide funding for children to
experience therapeutic and recreational opportunities at a local horse
farm. Donations can be sent by e-transfer to saddleupguelph@gmail.com
or email for more info.
