Publish in a newspaper
Marion Eugene Trimble, better known as Tom Trimble of Lavaca, Arkansas, left his earthly body to be with the Lord Sunday, September 21, 2025, at his home with his beloved wife Sandy. He was born on June 10, 1952, in Miami, Oklahoma, to the late Marion Wallace Trimble and Bobby Jean (Baker) Trimble. He was 73 years old. He was preceded in death by his parents and a sister, Sherry Jones.
Tom dedicated his life to helping others. His over four-decade long career as a chiropractor is a testament to this. Tom went above and beyond to find and treat the root cause of his patients' suffering, while also being a source of comfort and peace.
When he was not healing people, he enjoyed going on adventures. As a young man, he backpacked across Europe by himself, taking the culture and unique experience with him. He also enjoyed travelling the world with his wonderful and equally adventurous wife, Sandy. Together, they travelled to Tahiti, Mexico, Saint Martin, Aruba, Capri, Italy, France, Rome, Barcelona, Monaco, the Amalfi coast and many others.
He is survived by his wife of 26 years, Sandy (Stacy) Trimble; a daughter, Mandi Douglas and fiancé Les Bicknell of Cave Springs, Arkansas; two sisters, Marquetta Jones and husband Jim of Claremore, Oklahoma, and Nova Beck and husband Lonnie of Owasso, Oklahoma; two brothers, Bradley Wallace Trimble of Claremore, Oklahoma, and Hugh Trimble and wife Pam of Collinsville, Oklahoma; and one granddaughter, Madison Marts of Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Tom's celebration of life will be held at Les Bicknell and Mandi Douglas's home. Those who wish to attend may contact family for more information.
Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Brotherton Brothers Funeral Home and Flower Shop in Charleston.
