June 8, 1925-March 31, 2016
Trampis Lee “Tramp”
Palmer, 42, of Hermiston
passed away at his home on
Sunday, April 3, 2016. He
was born December 12, 1973,
in Hermiston to Debo-
rah Jean Stephens and
Michael John Palmer.
Although born in
Hermiston, Trampis
lived brieÀy in Walla
Walla, Baker City and
Arizona while grow-
ing up. He graduated Palmer
from Hermiston High
School in 1992 and was part
of the Bulldog football and
wrestling teams.
Trampis married Tiffany
McDaniel on November 28,
1992, in Hermiston. In Sep-
tember of 1999, Jake was
born and their family would
become complete when Me-
gan joined them in March
2002. This year they would
have celebrated their 24th an-
niversary.
Tramp’s love for sports fol-
lowed him after high school
and he started his ¿rst of
many coaching jobs the year
after he graduated. In 1993,
he started coaching Grid Kids
Football, as his little brother
was on the team and Tramp
was hooked! Grid Kids at that
time had about 60 kids in the
program with four teams. Af-
ter a few years of coaching,
Tramp became president of
the youth football program
and remained president un-
til 2013. After dedicating 20
years of countless hours, love
and effort into the program
and kids, it had grown to over
200 players and 10 teams at
the time he stepped down. He
touched so many lives during
this time as both a mentor and
coach, sharing his love for
the game with all the kids he
came into contact with.
Tramp’s love of sports did
not only encompass football.
He was involved with the
Hermiston Youth Wrestling
program for many years also.
He was voted in as tourna-
ment director one evening
(when he was absent from a
board meeting!) and would
remain so for several years
during the time that his son
Jake was a youth wrestler.
Not only did he coach boys
sports, he also coached City
League basketball and HYBA
for Megan’s teams. He round-
ed off his girl’s basketball
coaching with three seasons
of Megan’s AAU team, the
Purple Crush. Coaching girls
was de¿nitely a new experi-
ence for Tramp after coaching
boys for so many years, but
he loved spending time with
his daughter and her sports
for a change.
Tramp found a new sports
love in 2011. Lacrosse was
still fairly new in Hermiston
then, and after watch-
ing his son play for a
year as a ¿fth grader,
he began coaching the
next year. He became
the youth lacrosse pro-
gram director the fol-
lowing year and has
been involved ever
since. His goal was
to make the youth lacrosse
program as successful as the
youth football program.
Tramp ¿nally achieved
his dream coaching job this
year when he was hired as
head varsity coach for the
Hermiston High School la-
crosse team. He was excited
to be a part of the high school
program and was so looking
forward to a great season with
players that he had coached in
the youth program in previ-
ous years. What made it even
more special was having Jake
on the team too. Dinnertimes
were spent listening to them
discuss practice and how
things went that day.
Nothing was more spe-
cial to Tramp than his wife,
kids, and his family. They
were the most important
pieces of him and he was so
very proud of them. Tramp
was a terri¿c husband, dad,
coach, friend and mentor to
all. He was loved and re-
spected by many and will
be greatly missed in the
community.
Trampis is survived by
his wife Tiffany, children
Jake and Megan, mother
Debb Gardner of Ukiah, fa-
ther Mike Palmer of Colo-
rado, sister Jackie Herrera
of Hermiston, brother Josh
Gawith of Tri-Cities, grand-
parents Carl and Alice Palmer
of Hermiston, and numerous
aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces
and nephews.
A graveside services was
held Saturday, April 9, at the
Hermiston Cemetery.
A Celebration of Life was
held in the Hermiston High
School commons.
