He was generous and loving, and as Rebecca would affectionately call him, "Strong like bull." Trinidad will be sadly missed, yet fondly remembered by all those who knew him. Trinidad is survived by his wife beloved wife Rebecca (MacDonald) Esquivel; children Devin and Kayla Esquivel; step-daughter Amber Krumm; siblings Jose (Theresa) Esquivel, Dennis Esquivel, Linda Esquivel, Leonard Winfrey, and Karl Peckstein, Jr.; and numerous nieces, nephews, and other beloved members of the family.
