Gary L. (Weaver) Trisdale, 65

Gary L. (Weaver) Trisdale, 65, of Blair passed away at Memorial Community Hospital on Friday, May 15, 2015, due to complications of cancer. He was born May 24, 1949, to William Smith Trisdale and Margaret Rose Stricklett Trisdale in Blair. He grew up in the “Dogtown” section of Blair and always enjoyed his childhood memories of those times. He graduated from Blair High School in 1967. He married (Ellen) Kaye Phelps on June 24, 1972, in Decatur. They made their home in Blair, where they raised their three children, Dan, Carly and Bailey. Gary loved music and always whistled along with his favorite tunes. He gave many whistling lessons to his grandchildren, which produced happy memories for him and them. Gary gave everyone (no one was excluded) a hard time. He was never happier than when the people around him were giving it back to him. He loved to laugh and was always ready with a joke or a smart comment. He worked for Western Sand & Gravel in Fremont and Ashland for 32 years. For a good share of that time he ran their maintenance shop in Ashland.

Visitation will be 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, May 21, at Campbell-Aman Mortuary. Funeral services will be Friday, May 22, at 2 p.m. at Campbell-Aman Mortuary.

Gary is survived by his wife, Kaye; son Dan Trisdale and fiancé Aimee Dill; daughter Bailey Trisdale; grandchildren: Christian, Brad, Armando Jr., Zia, Seagan, Sofia, Somaya, Kaitlyn, Kaileigh and Kennedy; sisters-in-law: Beth Phelps, Judy Phelps, Cindy Trisdale and Linda Trisdale; nephews: Cody and Shad Trisdale; nieces: Rachel and April Trisdale; and many cousins and family friends.
