Tammy Trent Husband Death
In September 2011, Tammy Trent and her husband, Trent, went for a romantic vacation in Jamaica but on the last day, 10th September, the worst happened. Trent, who was an expert diver, suited up to explore the blue lagoon, a famous body of water. He submerged into the deep without the use of an oxygen tank or snorkel as he was free diving. Trent, unfortunately, died while diving and his body were found the following day by divers.
‘He put on his wet suit and his fins and his mask and he grabbed the scooter and said, ‘Tammy, will you take a picture of me?’ I said, ‘Sure.’ I took a couple of pictures of Trent right before he got into the water, and I sat there on the side of the dock and I watched him, and I watched him swim away. I sat and about 30 minutes had gone by. I had been watching him go up and down. Thirty or forty minutes had gone by, and I realized I had stopped watching. I was kind of watching other people swimming and playing. There was a boat that had swum across that hole back and forth, and it took my breath away because I wanted to scream, ‘There’s somebody in there!’ and I couldn’t. I felt paralyzed, but it made me now start to watch for Trent. I was really concerned now, and I didn’t see anything. I just stared at that hole for, like, 5 minutes, 8, 10, minutes and now I started to worry because, obviously, you have to come up for breath. I didn’t see anything, and Trent would never do anything to scare me, so I thought something was wrong. I couldn’t see anything. I kept having to fight fear saying, ‘Oh Jesus.’ All I could say was ‘Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.’ I started asking, ‘Please will someone give me a mask so I can go in and look for him: he’s in that hole’ because I kept thinking if he’s in there, I could save him. The people around knew that I wasn’t in that frame of mind to do that, so a couple of men went out looking for him. Then they called a dive team in and they looked for Trent for three hours. Each minute that went by I knew. I knew what happened. I was sitting in that office and I was all alone, nobody was a believer around me. I just began to lift up my hands and I began to praise God and I began to sing songs — anything I could think of — and I was just crying out to God. It’s all that I had. My whole life I had been on the platform telling other people what to do in these times, and now it was up to me. What did I really believe? I knew that all I had was Jesus. I cried out to God and I started praying in the Spirit. I didn’t care who was around.’
