HOWARD TRIMBORN Obituary
March 12, 1946 - March 10, 2025
Howard Michael Trimborn, age 78, fell asleep in death on March 10, 2025 in Mesa, Arizona surrounded by the love and care of his family.
Howard was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico on March 12, 1946. After he retired in 2008 from the business he founded, Triple T Excavating, he and his wife Dolores moved to Show Low, Arizona and then later to Mesa, Arizona in 2023.
Howard is survived by his loving wife Dolores of 60 years, his sons, Tim Trimborn and wife Carol of Santa Fe, Phil Trimborn and wife Michele of Mesa, Arizona. Daughter, Michelle Valdez and husband Zack of Santa Fe. Also, in loving memory of his son Anton who passed away at birth.
Howard has 5 grandchildren; Brandon, Shawnae, Jonathan, Jeremiah and Xavier and 7 great grandchildren.
Howard was a man of many talents and was always there to lend a hand to anyone who needed help. For Howard a handshake had real meaning. He was ambitious and his friends always knew he had exactly the right size bolt or part that they needed. He taught all of his family the value of hard work and honesty.
When Howard lived in Santa Fe, you would always find him drinking coffee with his friends in the morning at local restaurants. This is something he truly enjoyed!
He was truly a fun, loving, humble and gentle man that will be greatly missed by all his family and friends.
Services will be held on Friday April 4th, 2025 at 11:00 San Isidro Catholic Church, followed by the Burial at the Agua Fria Cemetery. The reception will be held following the Burial at the Santa Fe Country Club, (Golf Course) 4360 Country Club Road following burial at approximately 12:30.

Dear Dolores and Family, I am so sorry to hear about Howard's passing. I remember the times when our sons were in Cub Scouts together and Howard was leading the different troops and all the pot luck meetings. I also remember he was in the Agua Fria Water Association with my dad and the work they put in together. My sincere and deepest condolences to you and your family. My prayers are with you and May Howard Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the Agua Fria Village Association, many Howard rest in peace. Howard ran an Army Surplus store on Agua Fria Street, by where L&L Portables was. I loved to go in there. He served on the Agua Fria Community Water Association and the Cementerio de la Agua Fria. He was the Chairman of the Southwest Area Taskforce (SWAT), in the 1980's, the precursor ro the Agua Fria Village Association. He also served as the Chairman of the County-City Metropolitan Planning Task Force. RIP.
Condolences to his wife Dolores Romero Trimborn and his family.
