Christopher Eric

Trimborn

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the unexpected passing of Christopher Eric Trimborn, age 39, of Lake Mills who left us too early on March 17th, 2026.

Chris was a beloved father, son, brother, and friend who touched more lives than he probably realized. He was born on May 20th, 1986, in Watertown, WI and grew up in Lake Mills, WI.

Chris was in the graduating class of 2004 at Lake Mills High School. Right out of high school, he started working for Morton Builders where he spent most of his working years in the carpentry field. He most recently was employed with Lycon Inc as a concrete truck operator.

Chris loved participating in sports and was extremely competitive. He excelled at everything he did. He enjoyed making food for people and with his people, especially his son. Chris also enjoyed fishing, hunting, and the game of golf.

From the very beginning, Chris brought a presence into this world that could never be ignored. He was known for his big smiles, witty remarks, and the way he could take the breath out of your lungs with his big hugs. He brought life and entertainment wherever he went and those who knew him will never forget the way he made them feel or his fancy footwork on the dance floor.

Chris was a proud brother who carried pride and loyalty in a way that was always felt, but not often spoken. The bond he shared with his sister was unbreakable, built on years of memories and a love that will endure far beyond lifetime.

As a son, Chris was loved. He was loved not just for who he was, but for the simple fact that he was theirs. He was a piece of their hearts that will never be replaced.

And to his friends, Chris was someone you didn't forget. He was loved by all who knew him. His friendships were a reflection of the kind of person he was; genuine, loyal, and deeply human.

Most importantly, Chris loved his son Jackson. He was Chris's greatest pride, his buddy, and his legacy. Their bond will live on in their memories, his past down lessons, and in the quiet moments where his presence is still felt.

Chris was so many things to so many people, but above all, he was loved. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

Chris is survived by his son, Jackson Trimborn, his parents; Patty (Paul) Wagner and John (Connie) Trimborn; his sister and brother-in-law, Hailey and Mark Gallert, and step-siblings; Kristin (Nate) Wagner, Sidney Munro, and Iszi (Colin) Doney; step-grandfathers, John Wagner, John Streich, and Jeff Higgins; nephew, Topper Wagner; his life companion, Kimberly (Davis) Trimborn, and his dog Layla. In addition to his immediate family, he is survived by his aunts, uncles, and cousins who will cherish his memory forever.

Chris is preceded in death by his grandparents; John "Jack" and Dianne Trimborn and Donald and Nancy Hein; step-grandmothers, Dianne Wagner and Cheryl Higgins; and Michael (Mick) Ulrich - a father figure who held a special place in his life.

Memorial services will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 4, 2026, at the Real Hope Community Church, 1345 Stonehedge Lane, Lake Mills, WI.

Friends may call after 12 noon on Saturday at the church until the time of service.

In lieu of flowers, memorials would be appreciated for Chris' son, Jackson, care of Patty Wagner.
