Family of MLS goalie announces his ‘selfless decision’

The family of Philadelphia Union goalkeeper Holden Trent says his legacy will live on as an organ donor.

Trent shared his decision to become a registered organ donor with his family before he died last Saturday at the age of 25.

Trent’s family and his representation at Octagon announced Sunday the donation process has already begun.  

‘Holden Trent made the selfless decision to become a registered organ donor, a choice he proudly shared with his family. His extraordinary generosity is now a beacon of hope for other families, as the organ donation process is currently in progress, offering the priceless gift of life to those in need,’ the statement said.

‘Holden’s choice to become an organ donor is a powerful testament to his compassionate and giving nature. His family finds immense comfort in knowing that his legacy will continue through the lives he is saving. Holden’s gift of life is a reminder of the incredible impact one person’s generosity can have on the world.’

There was no cause of death announced by Trent’s family or the Philadelphia Union. The Union and Major League Soccer both released statements confirming his death Saturday.

‘The Philadelphia Union is devastated by the heartbreaking passing of Holden Trent. While he was a wonderful player and fierce competitor, he was more importantly a devoted son, brother, fiancé, and teammate who made those around him better. He embodied the true meaning of determination, dedication and perseverance, and he will be deeply missed. We extend our greatest sympathies to his family, his fiancé, and his friends,’ the club’s statement said.

‘Major League Soccer joins the Philadelphia Union and our entire soccer community in mourning the tragic passing of Union goalkeeper Holden Trent. A young goalkeeper with a bright future, Trent showcased determination and professionalism every day as he contributed to the close-knit goalkeeping unit at Philadelphia,’ the league said in a statement. ‘We extend our deepest condolences to his fiancée, his family and friends, his teammates and the entire Philadelphia Union community. MLS is coordinating with the club to provide players and family members with the resources and support they need during this tragic time.’

Trent’s family invites others to celebrate his life by registering as an organ donor online at honorbridge.org/registerme.

‘Let us honor Holden’s memory and his gift of life by embracing his spirit of generosity and making a profound difference in the lives of others,’ the statement read.
