Demonte was pronounced deceased on the scene. His passenger, 24-year old Kassie Marie Klein of Pensacola, was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital in critical condition.  Hernandez and a passenger in the semi, 37-year old Angel Omar Reyes Roman of Riverview, FL, were not injured.

    Trent was such a sweet young man and such a great friend to my son. Prayers to his family for this tremendous loss. Prayers also to the young woman (Kassie) who was injured and to the operator of the semi – truck and his passenger.

    Words can not describe the loss…… Our hearts have been torn…. Trent has been with our team for the past 5 years. Our store will never be the same again…. He always came in with a smile on his face and always eager to do get things done and help anyone he could with what he could. He was full of energy and always had something to boost you up no matter what mood you were. We will miss his stories about Rucus and Tater… he was just so sweet and full of life…. He will be truly missed and will always be in our hearts…… He was one of a kind and we will never ever meet no one like him again… He was special and one of a kind….. May he rest in peace….We will not forget you… This is just such a sad tragedy… Heaven gained a angel to look over us. Our prayers are with his family and Cassie may she pull thru this and be strong…

    Huge loss for our community.
    One of the nicest guys I’ve known.
    He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.
    Prayers for his mom.

    On behalf of the Dusty Sanderson Band, thoughts and prayers to the families of Trent and Cassie. May Cassie have a speedy recovery. Karen, so sorry for your loss. We loved jamming with Trent. Heck a of a harmonica player.

    I have known this young man for 15+ years, he is one of the friendest, most respectful young man I have met. Trent dated my daughter several years ago and did nothing that could be even remotely considered disrespectful.
    I feel so bad for Trent’s mother and siblings. I know I will always remember Trent as an outstanding young man with so much potential There’s one more angel in heaven
    I am also praying for Kassidy’s recovery, if she pulls through this she will have some huge obstacles to over come and I pray that she can find peace.
