Christopher "Junior" Trent

Christopher “Junior” E. Trent, 61, of Sutter, passed away on Tuesday evening, August 9, 2022, at his home in Sutter.

He was born on October 12, 1960, in Quincy, the son of Teresa (Wietholder) Beeler and the late Earl Trent.

Chris worked as a farmer for most of his life. He was of the Catholic faith. Chris loved to travel and enjoyed seeing the sites throughout the country. He liked fishing and he enjoyed racoon and mushroom hunting.
