Stephen Jackson Trimble

It is with pain and joy that the passing of Steve Trimble is being acknowledged. Pain for the many that loved him and joy that he is reunited with his family.
Stephen Jackson Trimble entered into eternal rest on August 08, 2022 during a brief stay at Pikeville Medical Center, Pikeville, KY. Steve was born to Andrew Jackson 'Jack" and Lena Marie Warrix Trimble in Pikeville, KY on October 01, 1946.
Steve was preceded in death by both parents, his daughter Rebecca Lynn and his wife Rita "Susie" Smith Trimble. A lonely spot will forever remain in the hearts of his brother Jeff who resides in Falls of Rough, KY and a niece Whitney Trimble Hagan of Louisville, KY
He was a faithful member of the First Baptist Church in Pikeville and will surely be missed by his Sunday School Brothers.
Steve graduated from Pikeville High School and attended Pikeville College. After leaving college he began working at Community Trust Bank of Pikeville, first as a Teller then as a Branch Manager at the Town and Country and then later the Customer Convenience Center locations. He retired from the bank a couple of times and during one of these times he worked in finance in the corporate office for Fast Lane Tobacco. Steve returned as a Teller for Community Trust where he worked until a few weeks ago.
We thank Steve for his service to our country, he served in the U.S. Army and was later active in the U.S. Army Reserves. He was a sharpshooter and liked to target practice as a hobby. He was an avid reader and a history buff. He taught himself to play bagpipes and would dress in full Scottish Regalia and play a haunting version of Amazing Grace in church and at funerals.
Steve was born with a personality that was contagious and as a comic and could have a room full of people in stitches in a matter of moments. His mother said the first words he spoke was a full sentence and he continued to delight others throughout his lifetime.
A service in honor of Steve will be conducted at The First Baptist Church, 126 4th Street in Pikeville on Saturday, August 20, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. with John Lucas officiating, his earthly resting place will be by his family in the Hatcher/Trimble Plot on the Pikeville City Cemetery in Pikeville.
