Tyler Moynihan Trevor's article, picture, and claymation were posted in Nintendo Power magazine in 1988. This Youtuber picked up on the story (see minute 18): https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=qr9xsRzk5Ug&noapp=1&fbclid=IwAR1KNkxUwwUVkNerH0n90XXv4Y_ibqndK-wr9TlIhY-9mNbnjNgqaqWiHHY

Tyler Moynihan Oops! Check out his poem

Tyler Moynihan Shelby Barnes - There are a lot of words to describe Trevor and they still won’t do justice. Fun, smart, adventurous, an includer, brilliantly creative (Budman and the claymation videos) unforgettable and always dancing. He had an amazing ability to make people feel very special. I think that because he was so sick when he was young, he developed this lust for life that was infectious. He was my first crush and someone that I will always remember. The world is much dimmer now without his light. May he Rest In Peace. Here are some Old memories to add to the collection of posts going up. I hope that it brings some smiles. It was a fun trip down memory lane, going through these. Love and light to your family. Trevor, every single person that has ever met you, knows just how special you are. You have touched so many people's lives. You already know that you have a very special place in my heart.

Tyler Moynihan Lisa Elso - I dug out some pictures and I'm still looking for my Bud Man t-shirt. Who else had a copy of the love song mix tape Trevor made in probably '92?? I can't remember the name of it but it was pretty awesome. Today is a sad day. But I know there are people all over the country telling stories, having laughs and remembering him fondly. Rest in Peace, Trevor Moynihan. I'll always remember him as the sweetest and kindest kid in school. There really wasn't anyone else like him.

Tyler Moynihan Great pic of Trevor and his mom the day he graduated from prestigious RISD college. He was chosen among all the seniors to give the student speech - and he delivered it in a rhyming Cat-in-the-Hat theme. It was awesome!

Tyler Moynihan From Ashley Creager Golden - Trev, you taught us how to laugh, how to live life to the fullest. You stole my heart the first moment I met you. Your smile and twinkle in your eyes was contagious. I’m thankful that you were my brothers best friend. You became a part of our family. We have and will always love you. You will always be with us. How can you not? We have too many Trevor stories to keep telling. You always make us smile and are missed so very much. Many a story is being told today with you in mind. And most importantly a good laugh! ❤️

Brenda Moore Trevor and I first met on May 16th, 2010 on the Holland America Ship the MS Rotterdam - My mom and I were cruising to Alaska for the first time and the both of us saw Trevor looking at us from a far. After running into him on several occasions and spending several hours with Trev on our 7 day cruise, laughing, singing, dancing and chatting, I knew he was special; Love at first sight. May 16th was always our official friendaversary from then on. The best memory from the cruise was how I let him think my name was Rebecca until the last day of the cruise (he heard Rebecca, not Brenda) ... He was so mad.... It stuck as my nickname for years to come. :)

Tyler Moynihan Zak Ryan - I know I'm a few days late on this post, but I had to process a bit before saying anything. On Monday morning, I found out that my friend, Trevor Moynihan (pictured on the right) passed away from brain cancer. Trevor was one of my favorite humans to be around when I worked with him on the Zuiderdam. He always made me, and everybody around him, laugh. Making people laugh, to me, is one of the best qualities in a person. I can't remember a time when Trevor was in a bad mood or upset or anything of the sort. He was always so positive about everything and projected that on the people he hung around. I was always excited to see him and hang with him. Surrounding yourself with such positivity is the best thing one can do. As many of you know, one of my favorite stories from my cruise ship days is the time I rode an ostrich in Curacao. It was a small group that went, but Trevor was among them. Without him, I wouldn't have the video proof of this monumental occasion! I can't thank him enough for that. As with all cruise ship friends I've made over the years, I wish I had stayed in touch better. Regardless, know I will never forget the fun we had, Trevor. You are the man and I will miss you dearly. Rest in peace, my friend.

Tyler Moynihan Jen Ward - To know Trevor is to love Trevor, and I am one of the lucky ones to know Trevor. My friend, here are just a few of the many memorable times shared with you in Aruba, Curacao, Panama and San Francisco. One thing is for certain, I have never laughed so hard (in my life) than the day we rode an ostrich together! What a fun, fabulous day to cherish forever! I can only imagine the mark you have left on so many people who have crossed your path. Thinking of you, more than you know. Sending you a big hug...

Tyler Moynihan Linda Ellenberger - Trevor Moynihan when days ahead are tough remember your loved and always bringing smiles to our faces...let us bring a smile back on yours..xoxox

Brenda Moore Trevor and I on our last Bermuda trip together... so many good memories on the cruise ships together. I would have never thought I would ever go to Bermuda in my life time and I got to go twice with the man of my dreams! He made it perfect every time.

Tyler Moynihan Trevor LOVED Halloween!

Brenda Moore My dad, Trevor, and I fishing out at Hagg Lake - Oregon - Trevor caught the only fish that day and it was a Bass! Funny story that I will treasure forever. (This pic reminded me of a scene in Forrest Gump)

Tyler Moynihan Trevor after treatment - "Never thought I'd say this, but, I've got shrinkage! I Just finished 7 week round of Radiation and Chemo, now for a couple weeks of healing. Want to thank everyone for their continued support! Not out of the woods yet as this is not curable. I will eventually respond to each person who sent cards and messages to me. Here is a picture of two custom Radiation Masks that they make to keep my head steady during treatment. Also a certificate of completing the first round. Happy Holidays Everyone!"

Tyler Moynihan Our last Christmas with the whole family. Ocean Grill of course.

Tyler Moynihan Yep that’s a pit of huge gators 5 feet behind us at Gatorland. Tourists throw chunks of raw beef at them so no need to mess with us. Trevor loved Gatorland as a kid so he insisted on going back! We also zip lined right over the gators - yes a fall would have been very bad. Trevor was weak but made it through and was happy as can be.

Tyler Moynihan Trevor’s favorite restaurant. We spent so much time at Bacis eating Eggs Benedict that I had to mention it. The staff loved him and treated Trevor like gold.

Matt Zimmer I first met Trevor when we were kids and he was being treated for cancer for the first time, but he never seemed sick to me. We were having too much fun playing video games, watching horror movies and getting into all sorts of mischief. He used to make these amazing stop motion claymation films, and I remember how excited we were when his figures were printed in the Nintendo magazine. In high school Trevor’s house was always the center of activity, the place where everyone gathered. The parties we still remember today. Summers swimming in the pool listening to the Beastie Boys. Cruising around in his tricked out golf cart the Flick mobile and later on a classic convertible VW bug. When he went to work on a cruise ship it made perfect sense. Everyone should see the head cam video he posted on you tube with among other things him riding on the back of an ostrich. And of course he jumped out of an airplane - multiple times. Trevor was always the life of the party. Some people say dance like nobody’s watching but for Trev it was dance so everyone can see. He had the most outgoing personality and he charmed everyone he met. It’s not fair that after everything he’d been through that he got sick again, but I never heard him complain or saw him despair. Instead the last year when we got together we had a great time like we always did and he enjoyed life until the very end. I loved him and I will miss him. [Written for Trevor's memorial]

Brenda Moore I always told Trevor that I was going to make a collage of the goofy pictures I had accumulated over the years... These images are from his own stash.

Toti Paliza I met Trevor at the RISD Italian Industrial Design Summer Program in Milan under Prof. Bob 0'Neal. We remained great friends after the program. I had the chance to visit and meet his mom Patsy, his brother - Tyler, and his friends in Vero Beach, Florida. Trevor's big heart and personality were contagious, and I cherish our memories together. Trevor is one of the most talented artists I've met. To understand him is to delve into his art. I remember, during our design studio lab in Milan, everyone was assigned to design collages, handheld objects, and sculpt a radio using automotive clay. For his final project, he designed a radio and built a clay model of alien-like forms with "arms and eyeballs" that were disorienting, absurd, and yet, totally enchanting and absolutely brilliant. His work was characterized by a strange, dream-like atmosphere with an amazing, magical composition of unnatural and irrational juxtapositions of unexpected elements, child-like forms, and unusual metaphors. In a way, it reminds me of abstract surrealism, one of the most difficult to create, understand, and interpret art styles as it lets one's imagination to become the logic when experiencing his art. Imagine an art combination of Joan Miro + Tim Burton in 3D! And this is Trevor's gift - the ability to give order, proportion, harmony, hierarchy, representation, emotion, mystery, fun, and wonder without following logical and rational reasoning, where anything wonderful is beautiful! Trevor relishes discovering and exploring places, people, and culture. We traveled together exploring Italy. With great luck and coincidence, we got last-minute tickets, and were able to watch the Aida Opera at one of Italy's oldest open-air arenas in Verona, Italy. When he relocated to San Francisco from Los Angeles, we went on a road trip to Yosemite. While I was living in the Philippines, he called me up and surprised me that he was in Boracay Island - Philippines, filming a commercial for a Korean company and making an animatronic alligator dance at an island paradise! Trevor is an absolute joy to be around. He was a true inspiration to everyone around him. I miss him and will forever remember the wonder that he has brought to everyone - his humor, his laughter, his vigor, and his kindness. I am lucky to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. I am offering a mass for him at St. Dominic's Church in San Francisco on April 7, 2021, to celebrate his well-lived life. May our memories of Trevor strengthen all of us knowing that he is with his dad and the Lord now - a place where wonderful is always beautiful! Thank you Trevor!
