Trip: Denver - Final Ascent
Date: 5/5/2012
Trip Report:
On May 5, 2012, David Trippett made his final ascent in Denver Colorado. David left a note saying he had been suffering from unbearable pain for many years before tying a complex climbing know and taking his own life. He was my son and his adventrues were always the source of vicarious pleasure for me and my family, especially his little sister Julianna. He left his wonderful Rhodesian Ridgeback, Obi, with his sister in Colorado.
There will be a memorial service for him at The Episcopal Church of the Holy Cross in Redmond, Washington on June 9, 2012, at 1:00 pm. We expect to have Wagner Machado there and we hope to have Joao and others who have shared David's adventures. Please come if you can to share in the wonderful life of David Trippett. Bill Trippett, his dad. Contact me at w7vp@comcast.net or friend me on Facebook.
