Michael Triplett

Michael was born on May 17, 1990, in Sacramento, California, and was a beloved son, father, brother, and friend. He is survived by his cherished daughter, Emma; his loving mother, Petrina; his sister, Stephani; and his brothers, Sam and James.
Michael was known for his joyful, caring, and hardworking spirit. He had a unique ability to brighten the lives of those around him, always going out of his way to help others. One memorable moment was when, without hesitation, he offered a drink to a passing homeless person, showing the kindness and generosity that defined him.
As a child, Michael was full of energy and loved sports, especially playing ball with his brothers. They would eagerly chase down the ice cream truck together, and Michael loved climbing trees and building forts, enjoying the simple pleasures of life.
On February 8, 2010, Michael became a father, a role he cherished more than anything. His daughter, Emma, was the light of his life, and he worked tirelessly to provide for her, always striving to give her the best.
Michael worked as an arborist, a profession he took great pride in. He was passionate about cutting trees and had even begun building his own tree-cutting business, handing out business cards around the neighborhood. Recently, Michael embarked on a new journey as a truck driver with Swift. Though he had only been driving for a short time, he wore his safety vest with pride, embracing this new chapter in his life with enthusiasm.
Michael's memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. He will be deeply missed.
