Gary Norman Trivett, “Lum-Gum,” husband, father and ABSOLUTE BEST “PAW” to his grandbabies, entered into perfect peace on Sunday, October 1, 2017, as he succumbed to his battle with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s as a result of exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam.
Those left to treasure his memory are his wife and ever-present caregiver of 49 years, Freada; his daughters, Tracie Percell and husband Troy, Jonesborough, and Brittney Campbell and husband Alex, Hampton; four grandchildren, Taylor and Tristan Michael Percell and Braylon and Brogen Campbell; one great-granddaughter, Teagan Percell; one brother, Johnnie Trivett and wife Lois, Kingston; two sisters, Gaynell Ilar, Kingston, and Peggy Marlene Tolley and husband Keith, Elizabethton; and several nieces and nephews.
Gary was preceded in death by his parents, Ivan Carl and Agnes Delphia Sutherland Trivett, and a sister, Nadine Campbell.
Gary was a graduate of Hampton High School, Sergeant in the U.S. Army, Reserve Deputy at the Carter County Sheriff’s Department and retired from the Carter County School System as a Teacher from HHS in 2008.
Gary was an avid fisherman, loved fast cars, including his NOVA, and had a caring and compassionate heart, but most of all LOVED and enjoyed being “Paw” to Taylor, Michael, Braylon, Brogen and Teagan.
He spent time camping at Roan Mountain State Park with his “Camping Buddies.” He was a member of Pleasant Beach Baptist Church.
Special friends and thanks to Herm Tolley, Johnny Ramsey, Jerry Bowers, Bobby Stout and Monroe Stevens. A note of thanks to his dedicated caregiving team, Dr. Bocclarosa, The Adult Day Center, In Home Services, VA Medical Center and the VA CLC.
