Trevor was born September 24, 1977 to parents Calvin and Diana Morris in Tyler, Texas. He graduated from North Garland High School where he excelled in sports and other activities. After high school Trevor served his country in the United States Marine Corps during which time he earned a rank of sergeant and received several medals for his steadfast and distinguished service. His fellow Marines remember his as “the best Marine they ever knew”. He gave his all to everything he did, which extended to his professional and ministerial life. Trevor’s service to Christ in the Gospel ministry began when God called him to preach in the year 2000 and continued till the day God called him home. After pastoring in the United States, he followed the Lord in foreign missionary service to the country of Ecuador, where God used him to begin a church in the city of Cuenca in the mountains of Ecuador. After returning from Ecuador he worked as general manager and later vice-president of Burton Oil Service Operations. Most recently he served as Pastor of Union Hill Baptist Church in Brownsboro, Texas where he is dearly loved and remembered. He was most passionate for the glory of God, the work of missions and his precious family.
