Tom Trenkamp, 61, of Mason, Ohio passed away Wednesday, July 19, 2023, at UC Hospital West Chester. The son of Don and Mimi Trenkamp, Tom was born in Covington, KY on July 2, 1962.
Tom spent 22 years working for Fechheimer Brothers Company in Cincinnati and his daughter will tell you that her dad was determined and a hard worker. Tom enjoyed sports, especially the Cincinnati Bengals and Reds. Tom deeply loved his family, and his children were his greatest joy. Being the oldest of 6, he was always a protector and had an infectious laugh. Tom never missed an opportunity to spend time with his children. Whether it was helping to coach his sons’ baseball or moving them to college he was ready to go.
Tom will be deeply missed by his wife of 26 years Karen (Kniffin) Trenkamp, his daughter Tara and son Jason, as well as their dog Nakita.
Survivors also include his parents Don and Mimi Trenkamp of Independence, Ky. Sisters, Julie Trenkamp (Bret Workman), Malia Fangmeyer and brothers Mark (Kristi) Trenkamp, Brett (Catrina) Trenkamp, Adam (Chrissy) Trenkamp, as well as several nieces and nephews, and a large extended family.

We love you, Dad. Say “Hi” to Bo and Jester for us.

July 25, 2023 at 1:48 pmI knew Tom for roughly under a year at Fechheimer Brothers. He was always running around, getting his hands on whatever WASN’T in his office, as it looked like he hated to sit!
This is a totally unexpected loss, and I hope that Tom’s family and friends can find peace.

July 26, 2023 at 12:55 pmTo the entire Trenkamp Famiiy, I am very sorry for the loss of Tom. Tom and I worked together for all 15 years I’ve been with Fechheimer. He was on my team from day one. On that first day Tom was my right hand man showing me the ropes. There was never a time when Tom wouldnt step up and handle a project that was given to him. In fact he did things he wasnt required to do whenever I needed help. A true team player. Whether on my team or for the last few years taking over for Jeff Dabbs, he never missed a chance to stop by first thing in the morning, say hi, and chat about his beloved family. Tara and Jason were everything to Tom. A devoted Father. I know I speak for all who knew Tom. He is already sorely missed but forever will be with us in our memories. If there is anything I or my family can do, please do not hesitate to ask. Much Love and Prayers to you all.
