Alan Warren Trivette (b. 1947), devoted husband and proud father, died on Oct 18, 2024. A native of Johnson City, he earned bachelor's and master's degrees in environmental health from ETSU. He served his country proudly for 3 years in the US Army, where he was stationed in Okinawa. Service to his country continued with OSHA in Houston, TX, and later with the Department of Energy in Oak Ridge as an industrial hygienist, where he retired after 34 years. He was an active member and deacon of First Baptist Church in Clinton, serving for many years as a member of the audio-visual committee. His faith was central to his life and now his death.
Alan will be remembered for his sharp wit, good humor, hidden intelligence, incisive questions, and abundant generosity. If you knew Alan, you know he always had a joke at the ready. He enjoyed rooting for the Vols, watching a good movie, playing with his grandchildren, and time with "the guys": Carlos, Louie, Jose, and Rick. His service to his family was endless.
Alan was preceded in death by his father and mother, Roy and Vivian Trivette. He is survived by Rosa, his wife of 49 years and the love of his life; his children, Shawn and Cristine, and son-in-law, Tyler; five grandchildren; three big sisters, Pat Osborne, Sharon Trivette, and Brenda Carpenter (John); several other brothers- and sisters-in-law; and a host of nephews, nieces, and family who loved him dearly.
Family and friends will gather on Thursday, October 24, 2024, from 5:00-6:30 pm at First Baptist Church (Clinton), with memorial service to follow. Alan will be laid to rest the following morning on what would have been his 77th birthday at 8:30 am in the East Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery on 2200 East Gov. John Sevier Highway (Hwy 168), Knoxville. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations on Alan's behalf to either the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America or the Family Life Center at First Baptist Church. Holley Gamble Funeral Home in Clinton is in charge of all arrangements. holleygamble.com
