Alricko M. Trimble, Jr.
Alricko M. Trimble, Jr., lovingly known as “Reco”, was born January 22, 2004, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Reco was a young man whose warmth and heart left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him. He transitioned from this life on May 16, 2025. He was preceded in death by his favorite uncle, Warren “Kojack” Crutcher.
Reco leaves behind a devoted family who adored him. His mother, Tabitha Crutcher, stood by him throughout every season of his life. His father, Alricko Trimble, Sr., and a half-sister, Alezah Trimble. Grandparents, Mary Crutcher, Bobby (Barbara) Crutcher, and Treva (Larry) Johnson.
Among those closest to his heart was his cousin, AD Crutcher, teammate, and brother in every way that mattered. Their bond, forged through shared dreams and days on the field, was unbreakable. Also cherishing his memory are his aces, Brittany “Aunt B” Crutcher and Kei'shauna Martin. Special friends, Ahniyah Careathers and Diamond Bates. A host of aunts, uncles, cousins, coaches, and friends who admire his spirit and presence.
Reco was easy to love. He was a kind person who loved sharing and carried a big heart, deep loyalty, and a special way of making others feel loved. He had a tender habit of sending simple text messages to his mother and grandmother, Mary, to say, “I love you.”
Reco was a graduate of Red Bank High School, class of 2022. He had a genuine passion for sports, was an innate athlete, and a committed teammate. An exceptional athlete who brought energy, heart, and skill every time he played. He embodied the spirit of leadership and brotherhood in every game he played, and his relentless drive and determination on the field and court. Highlighting Reco’s achievements: 2019 (Sophomore) First Team All-Region; 2020 (Junior) TSWA All-State Region Safety of the Year, TFP Best of Preps First Team; 2021 (Senior) TNFCA All-State, TSWA All-State Region Safety of the Year, TFP Best of Preps First Team.
Despite a short time with us, his love will forever resonate with those who knew him.

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
