Pettison II of Hancock Maine went home to his Lord Jesus Christ on July 10\, 2026. He was born on March 7\, 1961 in Lowell\, Connecticut\, son of Trent and Elaine. Trent is survived by his son\, Trent Pettison III\, his brothers\, Todd Fairchild (Donna)\, Cyril Roberts (Crystal) and sister\, Schelle Roberts. He is also survived by many friends and a community that loved him. \nTrent was a man that lived the way he wanted\, simple. He didn’t care about possessions\, he cared about people. He only knew one way to live\, to love and cherish every day\, and everyone! He loved his nation and would fly the American flag on the side of Franklin Road on a regular basis. He was a man that couldn’t go to a simple convenience store without acknowledging every person there. Trent loved talking about music and would educate people on obscure bands and of course\, the local music scene. When the conversation would come to an end\, Trent would conclude with a friendly smile and peace sign saying\, “Peace\, Love and Woodstock.” \nTrent was a proud Navy Veteran who received many awards and medals for his service which include\, Good Conduct Medal\, Navy Expeditionary Medal\, National Defense Service Medal\, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon\, Navy Rifleman Marksmanship Ribbon along with 3 bronze stars. \nTrent gave his heart to each and every person he’s ever met. Consider yourself blessed for knowing him. Consider yourself blessed if he made you smile as he was waving the American flag. Trent will be deeply missed and will never be forgotten\, so for now Trent\, until we meet again\, “Peace\, Love and Woodstock!” We love you! \nTrent’s service will be Friday September 25\, 2026 at 11am at Acadia National Cemetery in Jonesboro ME. That evening\, there will be a celebration of life at Black Moon Public House in Ellsworth from 6-9pm. One of Trent’s favorite local bands\, The Crown Vics\, will be performing to honor him. \nAgain\, Trent loved music and especially loved community radio station WERU. He would call them regularly and chat with the DJs while requesting songs\, and they enjoyed hearing from him. \nWe will be accepting donations at Trent’s celebration of life to donate to WERU Community Radio in his memory. \nIf you would like to donate to them directly\, please send a check to: WERU-FM\, PO Box 170\, East Orland\, ME 04431-0170. Please be sure to write “In Memory of Trent Pettison” in the memo or include a note with your check. \n– Friends of Trent Pettison \n
