"The Philadelphia Union is devastated by the heartbreaking passing of Holden Trent," the Union said in a statement. "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. He embodied the true meaning of determination, dedication and perseverance, and he will be deeply missed.
