Today we gather together to honor our great and noble Fishey Friend, Trevor Rigby Junior. Many of us close to Trevor affectionately knew him as "T-Bone".
I first met Trevor at PetsMart several months ago while browsing the aquatic aisle. I remember the exact moment when his bulging eyes first met mine, and I knew he would be the perfect addition to our family.
Trevor was always shy, constantly hiding behind the statue of Mozart in his tank, but that was what made him special. He had an endearing, quiet sense of humor. He wasn't afraid to be himself and never gave into peer pressure when tempted to do dangerous feats by his brother Fritz, such as swimming through the Ruins in their tank. Trevor was always true to himself, and we will always remember him for that.
Although T-Bone was sucked into the water filter, causing severe brain damage and paralyzation of his lower half, he still fought on after his accident, living several days longer than the doctors or our family expected him to. He had a heart of goldfish, never giving up.
We will miss Trevor greatly, but as he leaves this watery sojourn and on to the next, we recognize what a great and glorious swirling sea chum he was. (No pun intended). We wish Trevor the best of luck on his porcelain peregrinate, and want him to know, that we will always love and remember him.
To you, Trevor Rigby Junior.

Sniff, sniff. I am missing Trevor all over again. He was, after all, my very first grand-fish.
I pretty much think this blog is amazing! Will you write the epitaph for my Jordy, the Beta Fish?
