TREVOR SCOTT CARPENTER of Santa Maria, CA lost his four year battle with leukemia on June 14, 2017.  His strength and resilience in his fight was awe-inspiring.

Trevor graduated from Adolfo Camarillo High School in 1994 before going on to Azusa Pacific University and The Master’s College.  Trevor’s faith led him to work in the ministry for a few years but ultimately followed in his father’s footsteps of law enforcement.  He began working in the jail with the Ventura County Sheriff Department before transferring to Santa Barbara County Sheriff Department in 2003.
