Trent Dilfer’s Wife and Kids

Cassandra and Trent Dilfer have four beautiful kids together; three daughters and a son.

The couple named their daughters Maddie, Victoria (Tori), and Delaney, while their only son is named Trevin Scott Dilfer.

Unfortunately, the youngest kid and the only son died at an early age of five, following heart disease.

Trevin fought against the illness for 40 days; he was on life-support the entire time. On the 27th of April, 2003, his heart illness took away his life.

We can only imagine what a tragedy it must have been for the entire family.

Maddie and Trevin used to get along so well; she called him her best friend. She said, and we quote,

“I will never forget that moment, I knew what was going on, and my parents were walking down the hallway to me. I saw the looks on my dad’s face, and I knew what they were about to tell me.”

She must have suffered so much emotionally, as she was just a kid at the time; she also said, “That’s the most vivid memory, knowing it was over, running away and screaming.”

The kids suffered a huge deal, but their parents were on another level. Trent Dilfer started drinking to soothe his pain, but it does not help now, does it?

He gained over 30 pounds being inactive and grieving over his lost son.
