Peter J. Trivette

Juneau resident Peter Jonathan Trivette died June 28, 2007, in Juneau. He was 22.

He was born and raised in Juneau and attended Capital Elementary School, Harborview Elementary School and Dzantik'i Heeni Middle School. He graduated from Juneau-Douglas High School in 2004.

He was a student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and attended the University of Alaska Southeast, majoring in criminal justice. He worked as a community service officer at UAF during the past school year. His summer jobs included work at Princess Tours, DIPAC, Wings of Alaska, Choate Law Firm and the U.S. Forest Service.

He is survived by his parents, Sam and Gayle Trivette, of Juneau; brother, Marcus Trivette, of Fairbanks; grandmother, Colleen Nicholson, of Petersburg; aunts and uncles, Sue Trivette, of Anchorage, Jim and Phyllis Trivette, of Juneau, Natalie Nicholson, of Redmond, Wash., and Kim and Clint Jacobs of Culbertson, Mont.; cousins, Gary, Jeanette, Jamie, James Trivette, Paul and Dan Jacobs; girlfriend, Molly Kline and her family, of Fairbanks; and many extended family members and friends.

A memorial service will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 5, at St. Paul's Catholic Church, 9055 Atlin Drive. A memorial fund in the name of Peter Trivette will be established at Wells Fargo Bank. Donations will be used to help young people struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts.

For those who didn't know him, Pete was supposed to come to Anchorage this fall to continue his studies at UAA.  His profile name was AKSS and studied in UAF but lived in Juneau.  He repainted his Miata and was going to enjoy with us next season as an AKMC Anchorage Representative.  

Rest in peace, Pete.

Inspiration:  Yukari Meada is a sweet Japanese lady and a valued member of the Kanazawa Roadster Club (KRC).  She was one of my hosts while visiting Kanazawa for the first time.  She gave me a ride in her Black and Tan Roadster to visit a Japanese Historic Automobile Museum.  She made lunch which we ate out of a bento box.  We tried to communicate with sign language, her Japanese to English dictionary, and my English to Japanese dictionary.  She made me three Origami of cranes and I made her a flower out of cigarette foil.  I named my Roadster after her kindness and hospitality.  Domo Arigato Gozaimasu, Yukari.
