Grayson Lovill Trivette, 85, of Boone, passed away peacefully on March 2, 2026. He was born July 4, 1940, in Boone to the late Ossie Proffitt and Ray Trivette.

Grayson was married for 60 years to Mary Phyllis Canter Trivette of Boone, NC. Together they built a life centered around family and faith. He loved spending time outdoors fishing, farming, and caring for his cows, and he especially treasured time with his family.

He also leaves behind eight great-grandchildren.

He is also survived by his sisters: Evelyn Hicks; Doris Greer and husband Johnny Greer; Barbara Ashley and husband Buddy Ashley; Marilyn Watson; Juanita Miller, all of Boone; and June Weaver and husband Joel Weaver of Crumpler along with multiple nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two sisters and three brothers.

A receiving of friends will be held Friday, March 6 from 2:00 until 4:00 p.m. at Proffit’s Grove Baptist Church in Boone, with the funeral service to follow at 4:00 p.m. Burial will follow in Proffit’s Grove Cemetery.
