Carl Louis Trinkle passed away Friday, July 17, 2015. He died at Martha Jefferson Hospital from complications related to a blood infection. Carl, age 41, is the son of John and Susan Trinkle and brother to Jennifer, Jason, and Sara. If you need a friend or a helping hand, Carl was your man. Generous and genuinely interested in you as a person, Carl made friends easily. He was currently working at the Charlottesville DMV. Often he spoke of how much he enjoyed helping customers at work to solve problems. He had planned to open his own portrait studio. He was finishing a Business Management degree at PVCC while also working as a freelance photographer. Carl also had a degree in Criminal Justice. Some of his forensic evidence photographs appear in forensic science textbooks. A visitation will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, July 20, 2015, at Teague Funeral Home in Charlottesville. A private burial service will follow on a later date at Monticello Memory Gardens. While we will miss Carl, he remains in our hearts and thoughts, making us smile.
