"He was quiet, so some people didn't know how intense he was, what a deep thinker he was. He was an outstanding student. He was inquisitive, prepared, and he loved learning," said Tim Kindle, W. F. West English teacher and friend of Aaron Trotter.  
Last June Trotter was killed in a car accident on highway 6 while driving home from his summer job. Trotter graduated with honors from W.F. West in 1996. His sister, Alyson Trotter, is currently a senior at W.F. West.
Trotter was well rounded in academics, athletics, and art. He was voted Most Intelligent by his peers. He was a recipient of the C-SPAN scholarship and was attending Western Washington University. Trotter was majoring in graphic design. He wrestled and played football throughout his highschool career and lettered in track as well. His future goals included having his own comic strip and teaching art.
"To describe Aaron's style would be very difficult, but people who knew him personally could pick it out," said W.F. West art teacher, Russ Lunders about Trotter's art.
Shown on these pages are some of the pieces he drew for the Crimson & Gray during his junior and senior year.
A $500 art scholarship is being donated by his parents to be given away each June.
