Trent Lee Waltersdorf
March 11, 2020
Trent Lee Waltersdorf, 47, died Wednesday, March 11, 2020 at his home in Lacona, Iowa. Memorial services will be held at a later date.
Trent Lee Waltersdorf, son of Larry and Linda Waltersdorf, was born April 17, 1972, the youngest of two sons. Trent grew up in Creston and Afton where he graduated from East Union High School in 1990.
Trent had a love for anything with a motor and started working for RJ’s Service Center in 1997. In 2012 he purchased the business, renaming it Trent’s Garage Complete Car Care Center, and completed his certification as a Certified Master Automotive Technician. He was known not only for the wonderful job he performed for each customer, but also for the unmatched customer service he and Amy provided at the garage where each customer became family.
On October 8, 2000, Trent and Amy Miller were married. They lived in Lacona, Iowa where they enjoyed raising their farm horses and Joey their beloved dog. Trent had a special love for Cabover semis and much to Amy’s dismay yelled, “there’s a Cabover” every time he saw one driving down the road.
Trent is survived by his wife, Amy Miller Waltersdorf; his parents, Linda (Jim) Randall of Osceola, Larry (Sharon) Waltersdorf of Creston; his brother, Shane (Myra) Waltersdorf of Osceola; numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins; and Joey.
Trent was preceded in death by his grandparents, Robert and Arlene Madison, and Dale and Lois Waltersdorf

I trusted Trent explicitly with all my car needs and questions. I recommended him regularly. This is a moment of great sadness and deep loss. I was so excited when Trent took over the shop. It was a pleasure to do business with Trent and Amy. Amy, I am sad for your loss.

Amy, we are so sorry for your loss. We've been loyal customers of Trent for years (met while he was working for RJ). His honesty and professionalism made him a pleasure to do business (commercially and personally) with. We recommended him to friends every chance we got. We are stunned and saddened to hear this news. He was a great man.

Trent and I were friends from kindergarten to graduation at East Union. We lost tough after high school but recently connected on Facebook. I was looking forward to hanging out in person to catch up. The world has lost a great person.??

Trent and I were classmates at EU. He is one of the few that started Kindergarten and went all the way thru Senior year with us. We had a lot of good times and memories. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
