Dr. Trenton A Janda
Traverse City – Trenton Allen Janda, passed away Saturday December 10, 2022 after a long and valiant battle with Gallbladder Cancer. Trent fought with everything he had but the Cancer was relentless. He passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his family and closest friends. This was just a month after his Mom Janet Kay Janda (Boone) passed away, and 10 days before Trent’s 54th birthday. He will be greatly missed, but we are comforted by the fact that he has joined Jesus, his mother and other cherished family. 12/13/2023 05:43 PM
