Erick Ray Trimble, age 49, of Joplin, passed away on Saturday, February 8, 2025 at his home.

Erick was born on July 16, 1975 in Iowa City, Iowa. He was a graduate of Joplin High School. Erick spent most of his working life building homes and laying flooring. He enjoyed restoring old homes and fixing broken items and turning them into something beautiful. He spent his spare time exercising and working on old cars/trucks. 

Erick was a handy man and there wasn’t hardly anything he couldn’t fix. He never took a break and his hands were a testament to his hard work. He was a baptized believer and loved God with all of his heart. He loved his family and children and would’ve helped anyone that was in need.

Erick is preceded in death by his father, Don Trimble.
