DeSoto ISD extends its thoughts and condolences to the family and school community impacted by the recent loss of former DeSoto ISD Trustee Dee Walton Trimble Jr.
Trimble served on the DeSoto ISD School Board where he took an active role in the advocacy and support of district schools through his service and commitment.
Trimble Jr. was born July 8, 1939, to Dee Trimble Sr. and Maude Shields Lucas in McKinney, TX.
After graduating from Brackenridge High School in San Antonio, TX, Trimble Jr. earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics from Trinity University, San Antonio, TX in 1961 before enlisting in the United States Army. Following his honorable discharge, Trimble Jr. began a long career with the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, during which he returned to school and earned a Master of Science Degree in International Business from the University of Dallas in 1976.
Trimble Jr. later settled in DeSoto in 1989 where he met and married his wife and started a family before being stationed in Germany. Upon completion of his assignment, Trimble Jr. and his family moved back to DeSoto, TX. After retiring from AAFES in 1993, Trimble Jr. continued working, as well as coaching youth soccer and basketball. He would later be elected to the DeSoto ISD School Board where he was proud to serve the students and families of his community.
