Mr. Trumpler was born May 15, 1984, in Fairbanks. He attended Sky-view High School in Soldotna and worked in highway construction with his dad statewide with Q.A.P.
He enjoyed cars, motorcycles, swimming, running and eating well. He also enjoyed dancing and was training as a boxer.
“Everyone who knew Chris saw something special in him. He loved to laugh and he loved talking with his dad. He pushed the limits of life in many directions, and went to the extremes in all of his pursuits. We always hoped he’d have a happy, full life. He had gifts that could have taken him far. We adored him as a son and a brother, and he will be with us forever,” his family said.
Mr. Trumpler was preceded in death by his grandmother, Aida Arce de Thom. He is survived by his parents, Al and Aida Trumpler of Kasilof; sister, Michelle Trumpler of Miami, Fla; grandparents, William and Irma Trumpler of Florida; aunt and uncle, Johanna and Ben Skversky of Florida; aunts, Maria Trumpler and Kate Dudley, both of Vermont, Nidia Thom Arce, Rosario Thom Arce, Maria Elena Thom Saenz, Trini Thom Bolanos and Socorro Arce, all of San Jose, Costa Rica; and many cousins and extended family members in Costa Rica, Aosta, Italy and California.
A funeral mass was held Saturday, July 8, 2006 at Our lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Soldotna. Father Richard Tero officiated.
Arrangements were made by Peninsula Memorial Chapel in Kenai.
He was baptized in Costa Rica and had his first communion at the church in Soldotna.
