August 4, 1959 – April 12, 2024

Darrol Kevin Tripp. Age 64, of Grass Valley, CA passed away peacefully with his loved ones by his side on Friday, April 12, 2024.

Darrol, a longtime Nevada County resident, was a loving family man, an active member of the community, and a longtime business owner.

Darrol was born on August 4, 1959 in Grass Valley CA to Arlie and Clara Tripp. He went on to learn about the family business and worked for his father, Arlie, at Tripp’s Auto Body Shop in 1978. He later co- owned the business alongside his brother, David Tripp, until Davids retirement, and most recently ran the business with his nephew, Todd Tripp. Darrol was always eager to jump in and help others in need, donated to local schools, sports programs, and foundations. He could always been found with a warm ‘and beaming smile on his face.

When Darrol wasn’t busy at work, he could be found on the pitchers mound for the Tripps softball team with the Western Nevada County Slowpitch Softball Association (WNCSSA), bowling in a weekly league, or attending a local car show to show off his prized 1957 Chevy truck. Darrol was best known for his genuine and caring nature, never-ending supply of jokes, and his love for Nevada County and serving the community.

Darrol is survived by his wife, Mary Anthney-Tripp, his children, Brandon Tripp, Elena McCartney, Brianna Tripp, Jamie Anthney-Mason, and Justin Anthney, along with 10 grandchildren.

A service will be held in memory of Darrol on Friday, May 31, 2024 at 1:00 at Twin Cities Church. All who knew and loved Darrol are welcome to attend.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to The Roamin Angels Car Club, P.O. Box 1616 Grass Valley, CA 95945.
