He is preceded by Dallas R. Trinkle, Sr. (deceased) and Wanda Trinkle, and is the oldest of Wanda Trinkle’s six children: Stanford, Deborah, Daniel, Carlton, and Elizabeth.

They lived most of their adult lives in Hebron, Kentucky, and together ran Acramold Engineering, Inc. until the fall of 2017. Dallas was an active member of the business community in northern Kentucky and worked with several local groups that focused on education.

Dallas taught tool room skills and marketing at Gateway Community College and was part of their advisory committee. He volunteered with the Boone County school system to work with students on robotics competitions. Dallas enjoyed spending time with his family, and was well-respected for his knowledge and his willingness to share it with younger generations.
