Trevor Ellen was born on August 30, 1994 at Fargo, ND the loving son of Chris Greywater and Michelle McDonald. He was raised in the Tokio/Warwick area, attending Warwick Public School where he had just completed his Freshman year of high school.

In his free time, Trevor enjoyed video games, listening to his I-Pod, playing pool and participating in the activities at the Wood Lake Recreation Center.
Trevor had bravely battled Lupus for the past three years and due to Lupus complications, he had started kidney dialysis in December of 2009 and chemotherapy for the Lupus. Because of these severe health problems, Trevor had moved to Fargo for a time, receiving home schooling through the Fargo School District.
