Sid was born in Arlington, Washington and was a lifelong resident of the Whitehorse/Darrington area.

He is survived by his sons, Garrett and Gregory, and wife, Shawna, and his beautiful granddaughters, Cadence and Taylor; his sister, Suzette Thomas, and

husband, Jeff, and nephew, Wendy.

He is preceded in death by parents, June and Fred Traulsen, and older brother, Steve.

Sid loved his neighbors and would help whomever, whenever he could. He was a great friend to many. He was a crazy guy who loved to do burnouts, hang out

in his back yard overlooking the river, go fishing and spin a story. He was never shy about having a “cool one” and loved his family, and tinkering in his shop.

Sincere thank you for everyone who lent a hand over the years and those who stuck by one crazy guy.

There will be a Celebration of Life announced at a later date.
