RACINE – Trent A. Harper, 18, died unexpectedly on March 10, 2026.

Trent Anthony Harper was born to LaToya Marie James and Titus Anthony Harper Jr. on July 31, 2007, in Racine, Wisconsin. Trent grew up in Racine and attended REAL School before graduating from Horlick High School with the Class of 2025.

He attended Changing Lives Ministries, where he participated in the young men’s dance team and loved going to church with his grandmother, often singing together in the car—one of his favorite songs being “Mary Did You Know.” 

Trent was preceded in death by his great-grandfather Frank James Sr., great-grandmother Cecelia James, great-grandmother Rosalind Williams, great-grandmother Ida Anderson, great-grandfather Andrew Anderson Sr., grandmother Rochelle Means, and uncle Terrell Harper.
