Heartfelt condolences to the family. I cannot imagine what they have been going through since this little boy fell into the river. I pray they will find closure and, eventually, peace.

I hope that sweet child did not suffer. What a beautiful smile to be taken. My heart goes out to his family and friends. He's now with Heavenly Father and that is the most precious place to be. I envy him.

Anytime a life is lost, it is a tragic thing. The potential that is lost when something like this happens is staggering. When we look at the eternal perspective, so much can be understood and it makes this life seem so minimal, it becomes one small spec in the eternal existence of a being. How tragic his loss came so young.

Just last evening, and as I have since I heard about Trejons' accident, I was praying that God would lead someone to Trejon so his parents can at least have closure. My heart and prayers go out to Trejon's parents and extended family during this time of tremendous loss. May our Lord soften your grief and remind you that as long as Trejon is in your heart, he will never truly be gone!

What grateful news for Trejon's family. My deepest sympathy goes out to your entire family. My heart and prayers are with you all. When our son died, I realized the worst part of a child's death is not knowing where his body is, not having a body to bury. May God bless you and your faithful searchers.

That ordeal took an immense amount of determination and love to continue the search. I hope that all those whose lives were touched by this tragic experience can find solace, treasue their memories, and plan for a bright future, never forgetting those who have gone before.

My heart is happier knowing that the family will now have some peace knowing their loved one can rest in peace.... but a HUGE gratitude goes to those friends, family and volunteers who continued to search and care about Trejon's and his family.

Those men mucking around in bogs and willows and filth are HEROES! They did it to help mankind and they deserve major KUDO's!

Thanks to all.

Although I live thousands of miles north of Salt Lake City, I read about this young boy on-line when it happened and have joined you in hope and prayers and kept checking for more news of him.

Finally our prayers are answered for the family to have his body returned and feel closure. Our hearts ached with yours and tears were shed with yours. May your wonderful memories of your precious Trejon bring you peace to know Heavenly Father has him home now. Love, prayers, sympathy and hugs are sent to you now for your gentle healing from this accident.

Good folks in Salt Lake City, please hug and hold the family members and help them carry their sorrow. May Heavenly Father comfort you. Peace to all.

I will pray that you and your family stay strong. He was a very smart, cute boy. I am sad to see that he had to go at a such of a young age. I look at my son who is the same age as trejon, and it hurts me that this can happen to any child.Your family will always be thought of always.I am glad that he is found and your family has closure and hopefully soon can be at peace.
