Michael Trummer Obituary
Born June 20, 1958, in Salamanca, he was the son of the late Walton and Maria Guererro Trummer. He was married June 2, 2019, to the former Jody Zawatski, who survives. Although their marriage was cut short, the pair made memories to last a lifetime; adventuring to festivals and concerts, specifically UBR and LTB, all over the map, where he made many lifelong friends.
He was a graduate of Salamanca High School, Class of 1976.
Dutch was a devoted father and a friend to all that met him. He was the most hardworking man, an avid animal lover and a Jets, Mets and Knicks aficionado. He was a thoughtful, kind vivacious man with a quick-witted sense of humor and brought so much joy to so many people who will dearly miss him.
Surviving besides his wife are a son, Ryan Trummer of Salamanca; a brother, Terry (Victoria) Trummer of Raymore, Md.; and his first wife, Melanie Oakes Trummer of Salamanca.
He was predeceased by his daughter, Christie Sue Trummer, who passed away May 25, 2007, and who undoubtedly greeted her father lovingly in Heaven; and his former fiancé, Lindi Stark.
Friends may call from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday (July 31, 2020) and from from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday (Aug. 1, 2020) at the O'Rourke & O'Rourke Inc. Funeral Home, 25 River St., Salamanca, at which time a private funeral service will be held. The public is then invited at 11:45 a.m. to Calvary Cemetery for a graveside committal service with Deacon Michael Anderson of Our Lady of Peace officiating.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials to EARS, P.O. Box 445, Salamanca, NY; or to the Salamanca City School District, memo: Summer Swim Program, Attn: Christopher Siebert, 50 Iroquois Drive, Salamanca, NY.
