Alton Marshall Triplett

Alton Marshall Triplett, 69, of LaMarque, Texas went to be with his Heavenly Father on Monday, September 4, 2023, at his residence in LaMarque, Texas. Alton was born on January 12, 1954 to the late Travis William Triplett and W. Kathleen New in Texas City, Texas. Alton attended TC High School and Stephen F. Austin University. Alton had a landscaping business, primarily in Galveston, Texas for 30 years. He was an outstanding athlete, excelling in baseball and golf. He was an animal lover, an avid gardener, master woodworker, photographer, mechanic, and environmentalist. He often spent his spare time searching the Texas City shoreline for driftwood to build chairs and tables. This world that we live in was very important to him. You could often find him with his binoculars and field guide to bird watching the activity in "Alton's Garden", as his mother referred to it. Alton was much loved and will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
Alton is preceded in death by his parents.
Those left to cherish his memory are his brother, Warner Triplett and wife Francis of Saratoga, Texas; sister, Sandra Hayes and husband Mack of Clear Lake City, Texas; niece, Stephanie Hayes of Clear Lake City, Texas; and a host of friends.
