Elijah “Buffy” Tripp

HUDSON FALLS – Elijah “Buffy” Tripp passed away unexpectedly  at the young age of 32 on Monday, November 11, 2024 in Utica, New York.

Born on December 30, 1991 in Elmira, NY, he was the youngest son of 21 children and son of the late Chester and Jeanne Tripp of Hudson Falls.

Growing up, Elijah was always beside his father in many aspects, from working on things or just long rides together. He enjoyed these times no matter the circumstances.

Buffy had loved working on bicycles and cars and dreamed of owning his own shop and car business one day. His goal was to help anyone, even if it meant taking the shirt off his own back.  His heart was larger than life and his good deeds do not go unnoticed.

Elijah is survived by many brothers and sisters, Jeremy McCarthy (Kaitlyn) of Kingsbury, Jeanne Tripp (Shane) of Hudson Falls, Arthur Tripp and his children of Hudson Falls, Jack Tripp of Queensbury, Barbara McCarthy of Hudson Falls, Kimberly Yagle of Hudson Falls, Levi Tripp of Glens Falls, Thomas Tripp (Kasey Euber) of Glens Falls, Chester Tripp, III (Barbara Whiting) of Albany, Autumn Baskerville and her children of Asbury Park, NJ, and Helen Evans of Newburgh, NY; and many nieces and nephews.

Friends may call from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Saturday, November 23, 2024 at the Carleton Funeral Home, Inc., 68 Main Street in Hudson Falls. Burial will be private at the convenience of the family.
