Arthur (Michael) Trevethick was born on June 14, 1948, at Emory University Hospital and passed away peacefully on November 10, 2025, at the age of 77. He was raised in Endicott and Syracuse, New York, attended Hoosac School, and subsequently graduated from the Henninger High School in Syracuse. Later, he attended the University of Colorado, graduating in 1970 with a degree in sociology. Most of his professional career was spent with the Colorado Department of Human Services in a variety of positions, including implementing computer systems.
Art was an avid reader, long-distance runner, and Star Trek fan. He performed missionary work in Alaska and played several musical instruments throughout his life. He loved listening to classical music and dancing to 50s/60s rock and roll, watching English Premier League football, drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon, eating Tim Hortons donuts, and arranging his flock of pink flamingos in the back yard.
He also enjoyed visiting with friends, traveling to see family, singing karaoke, and donning his tuxedo for dinner on formal nights while sailing on numerous cruises.
Art was preceded in death by his wife, Jude, and is survived by his daughters, Nicole (Mac) McQueen of Penrose, Colorado; Beth (Nathan) Lee of Bend, Oregon; Jenne (Damon) Parrish of Oregon City, Oregon; and seven grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother Tom (Nancy) Trevethick of Nashua, New Hampshire, and his longtime partner, Sandy Pratt, of Loveland, Colorado.
Art always said to his children, “When I die, I want to be rocketed into the sun, so my grandchildren can look up and say ‘There's Grandpa!’”
