 Trevor Jo Wampler was born to Dale and Mona (Anderson) Wampler on Feb. 16, 1996, in Oakes. He attended preschool and kindergarten at Hecla Elementary for two years. When the Hecla School closed, he attended Britton-Hecla from first grade to 11th. Trevor was the last original student from the Hecla School. He would have been a senior this year. Trevor worked at Holland Oil in Britton with his dad.

 He absolutely loved sports. He played basketball, baseball, football and soccer. You'd never catch him without his friends or a roll of tint. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle, but his pride and joy was a vehicle he got from his Grandpa, a 1978 Datsun B210. He was doing everything in his power to restore it. 

 Trevor had a blast when Blaine, his brother, and Melinda, his sister-in-law, came home to visit. They spent all their time watching the Dallas Cowboys and playing football out in the yard. He also loved spending time with his niece and nephew.

 Trevor and his sister, Ashley, became very close over their years of growing up. They did almost everything together. He was always so worried about her. He was very excited that he was going to get to race his sister's race car full-time in Lisbon, N.D. He was very proud to have won his first heat race that night. 

 On having your worst day, Trevor's smile alone would brighten your day. That kid had the kind of personality where he would go completely out of his way just to make somebody feel better.

 Trevor died June 12, 2013. Just because you can't see his smile anymore, doesn't mean that he won't always be by your side, still trying to make you smile. Trevor will always be remembered in our hearts, with his big goofy smile. 

 Trevor is survived by his parents, Dale and Mona Wampler; his big brother, Blaine (Melinda Zirbel) Wampler; his big sister, Ashley Wampler; his niece, Adriana; his nephew, Jamison; and his maternal grandfather, Roy Anderson.

 He was preceded in death by his big brother, Brandon; paternal grandparents, Lois and Nick Wampler; and maternal grandmother, Wynie Mae Anderson.

 Visitation will be held on Sunday, June 16, 2013, from 2 to 6 p.m., with a prayer service starting at 6 p.m. at St. John's Lutheran Church, Hecla. The funeral will be Monday at 10 a.m. at St. John's Lutheran Church, with burial to follow at the Hecla City Cemetery. An online guestbook may be signed at dahlstromfuneralhome.com.

 Thomas Hovland Breske, 19, died Friday, June 7, 2013. Public visitation was from noon to 4 p.m. Monday June 10, 2013, at Miller Funeral Home, 13th and Main Avenue. The family greeted friends from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday at the Church of St. Mary, with a scripture service at 7 p.m. Mass of Christian burial was said at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at the church, followed by a committal at St. Michael Cemetery.

 Anyone who has ever met Tom Hovland Breske experienced an unparalleled phenomenon. He supplied an energy that varied greatly in expression, but never in magnitude.

 Tom loved everyone without exception. Such rare and powerful love is often misinterpreted as eccentricity, a trait that Tom would claim with pride. His unique sense of humor and severely contagious laugh never failed to warm the coldest of hearts.

 Tom will be dearly missed by a multitude of friends, acquaintances, and teachers, as well as anyone who had the pleasure of interacting with him. His parents, Marie and Dennis; brothers, Sam and Ben; grandparents, Marian Breske, Marie Hovland, and Jim; and many cousins, aunts, and uncles will forever hold Tom in their hearts.

 It goes without saying that Tom's death is a tragedy. Although he was taken from us early, the past 19 years have been the gift of a lifetime.

 One of a kind. Loved by all.

 In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established in Tom's honor at The Sioux Falls Catholic School System, 3100 W. 41st St., Sioux Falls, SD 57105 or The Brennan Rock & Roll Academy, 900 11th St., Sioux Falls, SD 57104.
