Trinidad H. Muehlhans, 74, of Little River passed away after declining health on Tuesday, July 7, 2020.
He was born in Germany on June 6, 1946.
Mr. Muehlhans was an engineer and worked for a German company (M.A.N. Truck and Bus Company), and he took advantage of the opportunity to move to the United States in 1982 when they opened a branch in Salisbury, N.C. He retired in 2010 and moved to the Myrtle Beach area to a subdivision with a golf course because he liked to play golf. He was a family man and loved spending time with his grandchildren William and Summer Shives and Samuel Muehlhans. He was diagnosed with leukemia in 2014 and had a bone marrow transplant. The treatment was successful but he still had some side effects that left him in poor health.
He is survived by his wife, Peggy, and his children, Jennyfer Muehlhans Shives and her husband John and Holger Muehlhans and his wife Alicia. He is also survived by his brother, Gerold Rogers; sister Karen Perry; mother-in-law, Isolde Dipofi; brothers-in-law, Harold and Louis Dipofi; and sister-in-law, Mary Bush.
