Marco Trinco

He is survived by his loving wife Maria of 61 years and their daughters, Irene and Diana as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents Giovanni and Antonia, his brothers Francesco, Amedeo and Giuseppe, and sisters Iolanda and Vittoria.

Marco was born in Drenchia, Udine, Italy on March 1, 1928. At a young age he left Italy to work in Belgium and later immigrated to Canada. He and Maria married in 1961 and made Kamloops their home.

Home was Marco’s happy place where he loved spending time with his family and friends, including all his furry family members. His passion was his yard and he could often be heard happily humming while he meticulously cared for his vegetable garden, fruit trees and grape vines. He enjoyed wine making, loved the outdoors, playing bocce and always looked forward to fishing outings with good friends.

Marco will be deeply missed and will forever be remembered fondly in the hearts of his family and friends.

The family would like to thank all the doctors and nurses in the emergency room at Royal Inland Hospital. Their caring and compassion was much appreciated.

A prayer service will be held on Tuesday, April 18, 2023 at 7:00 pm at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, 635 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, followed by the Funeral Mass on Wednesday, April 19, 2023 at 11:00 am. Interment will follow at Hillside Cemetery. Family and friends are then invited to gather in the Parish Centre for a reception.
