Michael Alan Tritchler

August 10, 1960 - October 2, 2013

Michael Tritchler, 53 year old native Napan, passed away unexpectedly Oct.2, following an exhaustive struggle with an infection complicated by diabetes. Michael enjoyed fast motorcycles and fast cars, adept at the repair and modification of both. His mechanical touch gave him the ability to fix anything, sometimes without even knowing himself how he did it. An excellent billiards player and ever the joker, his sense of humor and quick wit won over anyone fortunate enough to cross paths with him. Michael leaves behind many broken hearts. He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Donna; daughters Melissa and Audra; ‘virtual son’ Bryan Wallace, granddaughters Kira and Rain Crull; father Fred, brother and sister- in-law Jeff and Tammy, and many nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles. He is preceded in passing by his loving mother Barbara Tritchler. Friends and family are invited to share memories on Thursday, October 10, 2013 at 3:00 pm at 1603 Carol Dr. in Napa.
