Brian Joseph Trocano, age 66, beloved husband, father, Papa, son and friend, drew his last breath on June 26, 2023.
He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, the second of four sons born to Leonard and Joanne Trocano. The family soon moved to Brooklyn, Ohio where Brian's sports career flourished as a Brooklyn High School Hurricane. He was a key player on the football field as well as on the baseball diamond and in track and field. He was inducted in the Brooklyn High School Hall of fame in 2022.
Shockingly, Brian always knew he wanted to be an electrician. He attended Cleveland State University to study electrical engineering. In his early 20's he ventured out west to Washington state. He and his brothers would stay with their Uncle Clyde and learn the ways of the Evergreen State. Brian loved it out west and enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping and just being outdoors.
Brian was a dedicated, hard worker and spent his nearly 44-year career in the steel mill industry. He was always willing to help and was a mentor to many.
In 1993, he married his wife Tracie, a partnership that thrived just shy of 30 years. Brian and Tracie lived in Duvall for all of those years. He loved tinkering in his shop listening to music, and giving Maggie, Sadie, and Louie (dogs) big scratches.
Brian is survived by his wife Tracie, mother Joanne, brothers Lenny, Rick, and Jim, children Sarah, Lauren, Dashiell, Greer, and Shain, and predeceased by his father Leonard. His grandchildren called him Papa, and he adored them all.
Brian made an impact on everyone he met, and he is deeply missed by his friends and family.
The family invites all Brian's friends to come and celebrate his life with them at 10:30 a.m. on October 21, 2023 at the Riverview School District.
