I first met The De Preste family when we moved on El Rancho Drive here in Livermore. They were such wonderful neighbors, you couldn’t ask for better neighbors. I babysat Trenton and his sister Casey, Trenton was 4 years old at the time. He was such a sweet little boy. I remember making Mac n cheese for him and his sister, eating popcorn while watching tv with them. Trenton would sneak out of his bed every now and then until I finally got him to stay in his room and fall asleep in the evening. The family ended up moving to Manteca but decided to come back to Livermore. I babysat Trenton and his sister several times again, he was probably 8 years old then. I believe that was the last time I’d seen him. He was such a sweet little boy and well mannered and I’m pretty sure he had grown into such an amazing son, brother, husband, father and grandfather. I only wish I had seen him when his mom and I met up after so many years back in 2015.
My condolences to all of you! You are in my thoughts and prayers ❤️
Love,
Charlene
