It is with deepest sadness that we announce the passing of George Earl Trenholm, who peacefully departed this life on May 16, 2025 at the age of 70, at the Valley Regional Hospital Kentville NS with his eldest son Darcy (Mirranda) by his side.

Born on November 2, 1954 in Sackville NB, he was a loving father, grandfather, brother and friend.

George volunteered for the last 20 years serving with the Colchester Ground Search and Rescue in Debert NS. George worked in construction for several years at Mid-Valley Construction, and was known for driving semi trucks for most of his life. George went wherever the road took him. George had a passion for old classic country music and the famous, Jelly Roll. George enjoyed playing darts at the Horseman Club in Bible Hill, NS. George also enjoyed mud bogging and received trophies for this amazing hobby. He also enjoyed selling lobster with his family and friends, so much he spent several years doing what he enjoyed. George was known as a "Jack of all trades", an amazing father and friend and brought great joy to those who knew him. 

He will be missed by many, especially his companion Rita. George is survived by his children, Darcy Trenholm (Mirranda) and Curtis Trenholm; his grandchildren, Sasha Trenholm, Zachary Trenholm, Hazel Trenholm, Colby Trenholm, Tyler James Hache and Kegan Despres, as well as by his brother, Gary (Heather) Trenholm.
