The Washington community is grieving the sudden and tragic loss of David Trinidad, a beloved barber who died in a car accident on Monday, January 12. His passing has left family members, friends, colleagues, and loyal clients heartbroken, as many struggle to accept the loss of someone who played such an important role in their daily lives.
David was widely known not only for his skill as a barber but for the genuine care and connection he brought to his work. Inside his shop, he created more than great haircuts—he built relationships. Clients remember him for the easy conversations, laughter, and welcoming atmosphere he provided, making everyone who sat in his chair feel comfortable and valued. For many in the community, David was more than a barber; he was a trusted friend and familiar presence.
Those closest to David describe him as kind, humble, and full of positive energy. His infectious personality had a way of lifting spirits and bringing people together. His absence is being felt deeply within the barbering community and throughout Moses Lake, where he was well known and respected.
In the wake of this heartbreaking loss, a fundraiser has been organized to help support David’s family with funeral expenses. Walk-in appointments are being held on Wednesday, January 15, and Thursday, January 16, with all proceeds going directly to his loved ones. Community members are invited to gather at 229 S Ash St, Moses Lake, WA, to honor David’s memory and show support.
As the community mourns, David Trinidad is being remembered for his kindness, his passion for his craft, and the lasting legacy of friendship and compassion he leaves behind.
