Thurston Wilfred Trask II

Thurston Wilfred Trask II passed away at home in Yucca Valley, CA on Sunday, June 10th at the age of 66. He was born on April 6, 1952 in Detroit, Michigan to Thurston and Rosemary (McErlane) Trask.

Thurston is deeply loved and will be missed by his son Matthew (Laura) Januszewski; his 4 grandchildren, Morgan, Claudia, Ella and Owen; his sisters Kathleen (Larry) Olesky and Rosemary Trask. Thurston is also survived by many cousins, his dear friends, Mike O’Connell and Jimmy Huang and his nephews and nieces that he loved to pieces. He was preceded in death by his parents Thurston and Rosemary (McErlane) Trask and his oldest sister Roberta (Trask) Ronayne.

Thurston was a proud father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin and friend. He lived life to the fullest and cherished every moment. He was an excellent salesman, from flower shops to stained glass doors, whatever business venture he pursued he was enthusiastic and successful. Always smiling, he took refuge in simple pleasures. While enjoying the company of family and friends he loved to tell stories, watch football, care for his dogs and he never turned down an invite to go see a good movie.
