Trevor Dieffenthaller passed away peacefully at the age of 86 on Sunday, January 5, 2025, on the Feast of the Epiphany. Born in Trinidad, West Indies, he graduated from Rutherford College of Technology (U.K.).
He was the loving husband of Freda, whom he met in Hebburn, England, while attending university. They had four children: Paul (Elizabeth), Karen (Brian), Andre (Suzanne), and Mark (Bronia). Together, they had 18 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Trevor set a great example with his deep dedication and devotion to his wife and family, Catholic faith, and work. He was passionate, spoke with conviction, and while firm, was also very loving and playful. We're so grateful for all the adventures he shared and the opportunities he gave us, and others, throughout his life. He will be deeply missed.
