“We want to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time,” his family said in a statement posted on the athlete’s Instagram page. “Holden passed away this afternoon surrounded by his family and friends.”
The soccer player is survived by his fiancé, Brie, to whom he proposed last December.

“Details on services and celebration of life are forthcoming,” the post continued. “Our family is deeply touched to see and experience the love you all have for Holden. Love, Holden’s Family.”
Trent’s team also shared a tribute to the athlete.
“The Philadelphia Union is devastated by the heartbreaking passing of Holden Trent,” the soccer club said on their website. “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.”
