Michael Leroy Trickey
February 3, 1946 - December 31, 2013 |
| While many of us
did not know Mike a lot of us did know him. He was a dear friend
to many and a fellow AMT to thousands of others. Mike was a strong
supporter of the Airborne Maintenance Technician Association from the
very beginning. He knew the purpose of the AMTA as stated in the
"Mission Statement" on the AMTA website (www.amtassociation.org. Regardless of who knew him or who did not, Michael Leroy Trickey
will be missed. |
Michael L. Trickey was
born on 3 February 1946 in Wichita, Kansas, the second child and only
son of Harold and Audrey Trickey. He died on 31 December 2013 in San
Antonio, Texas. He was preceded in death by his parents. Survivors
include two daughters, Michelle Akers, of San Antonio, and Autumn Tull,
of Oxfordshire, England; two sisters, Jean Carpenter, of Fairfax,
Virginia, and Katherine Menon, of Wichita, Kansas; three grandsons,
Austin Akers, Jacob Tull, and Christopher Tull; ex-wife Jennifer Cramer,
of San Antonio; niece Rebecca Carpenter, of San Francisco, California;
nephews William Carpenter, of Wimberley, Texas, and David Carpenter, of
Douglasville, Georgia.
Mike retired from the U.S. Air Force as a Master Sergeant in 1991 after
a total of 24 years of service. He was a lifetime charter member of the
Airborne Maintenance Technicians Association and a member of the Air
Force Association. His Air Force career included postings in Okinawa,
Thailand, Korea, Alaska, Florida, and England. At the time of his death
he was living in Premont, Texas, where he had worked for the Raytheon
Corporation for 20 years.
He had many interests: He was an avid genealogist and family historian;
he was a constant reader, especially science fiction; and he enjoyed
playing the guitar and singing, especially with his family. He was
always the family consultant for computers and all things technological
and mechanical.
We would like to thank Vitas Hospice and Dr. David Marks for the care
they provided during the final days of Mike's journey.
