Local Boy Loses Battle with Brain Cancer

Trent Williams, the local eight year-old boy with brain cancer, has passed away.

Funeral arrangements have been made. There will be an open casket viewing Thursday from 11-2, with funeral services starting immediately after.

The event will be held at Strasburg High School, and Trent's dad posted on Facebook that all are invited to attend the celebration of Trent's life.

Pastor Charles Headley, who became friends with the Williams family during Trent's ordeal, says the boy will never be forgotten.

"That is my hero. That little man is my hero. He has etched a place in my heart that will last forever," says Pastor Headley. "He was a jedi. He was a warrior. It's an inspiration to everybody. The things that this young man endured, with how easily so many people today in this world complain, they should reflect on what this young man endured."
