Trevor Forrest Watkins

Trevor Forrest Watkins, 56, of Springfield, Vermont, passed away unexpectedly at home on March 8, 2026. Born on August 12, 1969, in Springfield to Glenn and Ellen (Lambert) Watkins, he graduated from Springfield High School and built a career first as a cross-country truck driver for BDR and later for Stowmills. He also worked as a heavy equipment operator for the city of Keene and helped establish Two Neanderthals Smokin' BBQ. Above all, Trevor was a hard-working man who took pride in providing for his family.

He had a deep love for music, especially ATX, Alice in Chains, and Tool. Trevor cherished quiet moments sitting by the fire, the scent of the ocean, and spotting impressive Peterbilt trucks on the road. He was a gifted storyteller, often sharing tales from his years over the road and frequently recalling Montana as the most beautiful place he had ever seen. That appreciation led to a memorable family vacation to Wyoming and Montana that created lasting memories for everyone.

Trevor was predeceased by his son, Nathaniel Watkins. He is survived by his wife, Melinda; his daughter Jessika Nadeau and son-in-law Matthew; his daughter Annalise Watkins and her significant other Daniel Weiser; his son Layne Watkins and his girlfriend Marlo Goodrich; and his son Collin Watkins. He also leaves behind grandchildren Nora and Calvin Nadeau, his parents Glenn and Ellen, his sister Carrie and her husband Frank Fuller, many nieces and nephews, and his honorary son-in-law Ryan Bean.

In keeping with Trevor’s wishes, donations may be made to the National MS Society or Donate Life in lieu of flowers.
