Michael Trotti Obituary

Michael Wayne Trotti, 69, passed away on July 11, 2025, in Dobbins, CA. Born on October 25, 1955, in San Antonio, TX.

Mike proudly served his country in the United States Air Force for six years. He began his military career as a security policeman at Beale Air Force Base in the mid 1970s and later served as a sheet metal specialist and welder.

It was during his time in the Air Force in 1976, that he met Patricia, who would become his beloved wife and lifelong partner. Together they shared 49 years of marriage filled with love, hard work, and shared dreams.

After completing his military service, Mike continued to apply his talents in many ways. He was skilled in plumbing, carpentry, and welding, abilities that not only defined his professional life but also enriched his personal one.

With Patricia by his side, Mike helped build their dream home on the eight acres of land, in Dobbins, CA, where their two sons were raised.

Though quiet by nature, Mike found joy in the company of those he loved most. He cherished time spent with family.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Patricia Trotti; his sons, Michael and Ian; his daughter-in-law, Laurie; and four granddaughters, Daisy, Gracie, Alexis, and Braylie. His presence will also be missed by his brothers, Ed, Robert, and Scott.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents, Norma Jean and Jefferson Davis Sr.; as well as two of his brothers, Jefferson Jr. and John.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.

A Memorial Gathering Potluck will be held on July 27, 2025, at 1 PM, at Mike and Trysha's home 10374 Texas Hill Rd., Dobbins, CA. Please RSVP to Laurie 530-301-5783.

We want to express our sincere condolences to you, Trotti, and to all of your family. You are in our prayers and thoughts.
I remember one time we were all at the house on Kaplan, you were bbq´ing burgers. They got a bit overdone and your Dad looked over at me and said, "even a good vet couldn´t revive that!"
Hold onto the good memories and let the rest go.
Love and condolences, SuzSuz and Ricky
