The parents of Purdue super fan Tyler Trent will attend Tuesday's State of the Union address in Washington D.C., where they will also meet Vice President Mike Pence.
Trent passed away on New Year's Day following his long battle with osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer. Trent was just 20 years old when he died, but his legacy as one of the Boilermakers most inspirational fans extends far beyond his home state of Indiana.
His story inspired U.S. Rep Susan Brooks to invite Trent's parents, Tony and Kelly, to President Donald Trump's address, according to the Indianapolis Star.
