Trevlin D. Griffith
May 19, 1959 – April 22, 2025

Born to Janet and Glenn Griffith of Eureka, Trevlin entered the world with style in 1958. He graduated from Eureka High School and went on to graduate from Frederick and Charles Beauty College in the 1970s.

During the 1980s and ‘90s, Trev was the owner of Daly’s Hair Designs (located in Daly’s department store) as well as Serendipity Antiques in Old Town Eureka. He was well known for his exquisite ability to create unique tablescapes and floral arrangements, not just for his own home but also for his friends’ gatherings.

Trev often spent his days off visiting his former clients who had become shut-ins or were in rest homes, still styling their hair to help keep up their spirits. He loved to travel and to entertain, and he was known for his amazing cooking at dinner parties, as well as the beautiful gardens he created wherever he lived. He was a great supporter of local theatre and the arts.

Trev was preceded in death by his parents, brother Mikel and sister-in-law Lani, late partner George Hooper, and husband Gary Thissell, all of Eureka.

He is survived by his sisters Helena Griffith of Eureka and Kat Griffith of Fremont and their families, nephew John Griffith and nieces Samantha Griffith, Carylyn, Judy, and Katie White and their families, and of course his cousins by the dozens located throughout Humboldt County and beyond.
