TREVOR ZION BAUKNIGHT
With humble acceptance of God’s will, we announce the passing of Trevor Zion Bauknight, 55, on Aug. 22, 2024. He was the beloved husband of Amanda Cox, both of Easley and formerly Sumter.
Born in Kingsport, Tennessee, and raised in Sumter, he was the son of Amanda Mosier Bauknight and Dennis Lehman Bauknight.
Trevor attended his beloved Sumter High School, Clemson University and the University of South Carolina with degrees in religious studies and history.
Trevor was a project manager and editor at Martin Printing. He worked for The Sumter Daily Item for many years and whether you knew it or not, you probably saw him on the sideline of a high school football game under those Friday night lights. He was also the Art Education Director for the Sumter County Gallery Of Art.
There are no words to explain how incredibly special he was. He was involved in soil and water conservation and assisted with work on the Bauknight Tree Farm. He spent countless hours volunteering as a cameraman for "Making it Grow," at the multiple Hype after school centers (Helping Youth Pursue Excellence), as a volunteer at the Sumter County Museum and Temple Sinai Jewish History Center, and most recently for Meals on Wheels of Pickens County.
He was a member of Bethel Baptist Church in Sumter and most recently attended Cross Roads Baptist Church in Easley.
In addition to his parents and his loving wife of 16 years, Trevor is survived by his stepmother, Terri Boyd Zion, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Trevor was preceded in death by his father, Johnny Wayne Zion.
