Nathan Trookman Obituary

I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He has taken such good care of me over the years, and I loved his sense of humor. I know he will be missed; my prayers go out to his family and friends.

Oh No, I'm STUNNED - I went on line to get the office number and see about scheduling a periodic skin cancer screen as I have done over the past 25 years. Way to soon for one of the best joke tellers around to be taken from us. A great carrying doctor day after day, year after year. An AWESOME good person. Dr Nate will be missed. I'm so sorry and my condolences to family and friends.

My deepest condolences to Nate´s family and loved ones. I went to school with him and he always brought a smile to my face with his quick width and humor. His loss is deeply felt.

I just heard the shocking and sad news of Dr Trookman's passing. I can honestly say that at a time in my life when I was experiencing a dark cloud over my head, it was Dr Trookman who was the ray of HOPE for me. He was truly a gifted physician, and I will truly miss him. My sincere condolences to his family.

My very first encounter with Dr. T was warm and welcoming. Never had I experienced a doctor taking the time to break the ice with a point of common connection. For us it was Harvard University, where he had gone to medical school and where I had worked. Our time there had overlapped. I was stunned to learn that he recently passed away and I can only imagine the sadness of his family, colleagues, and beloved friends at this incredibly raw and tender time. He was truly special and will be missed.

We extend our sincere condolences to Dr. T´s family & co-workers. He was a wonderful physician serving us for over 20 years with such care & compassion. His great personality always made for a delightful office visit. Dr. T was an amazing person & the world is a better place because he was in it. He will be sorely missed. Dan & Yvonne Penn

My favorite doctor. I had been a patient of his since
1993, his work ethic and humor got me through many procedures. I will miss his kind care.

My condolences to his family and colleagues.

I've been a patient of Dr. Trookman for about 25 years as a melanoma survivor. My condolences to his family, colleagues, and friends. I will miss him.

I just learned of Dr T's passing yesterday and I'm so shocked and saddened. He was the ONLY physician I actually looked forward to seeing. Always kind, always funny and he had a gift for putting his patients at ease. My sincere sympathy to his family, friends and co-workers. He will be greatly missed.

My deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Trookman and to his fellow co-workers. I was a patient, as were my parents back in the day. He was a great doctor and a kind man.

I just heard about Nate´s passing and was deeply saddened. He will be treasured in my memory as a friend and colleague. My heartfelt condolences to Carrie and the boys. Ted

Dr. Trookman was a wonderful human being. Not only was he my doctor for 30 years, the longest relationship that I have ever had with a physician, but over all those years developed a friendship that was genuine and real. He ended up treating my wife, daughter and grandson because he was held in such high regard by me. To his family, we grieve with you as well as all his staff and peers at Colorado Springs Dermatology. We share your profound sense of loss. God Speed, Nate.

Dr. Trookman saw me through the scariest time in my life. With half my face riddled with melanoma, he held my hand through it all and gave me life changing scar reduction treatments at no charge when my insurance turned down the expense. He said no one should go through life with a scarred up face from cancer. He truly was a philanthropist; kind, loving and always supportive. I am heartbroken. Peace be with him and his family

I was so saddened to hear about Dr. Trookman! I first met Doc when he started in the Cañon City office. As the years passed I think he enjoyed finding a gentle phrase to tell me I was aging! He was a great doctor and he felt like a friend. He always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye! Min haShamayim Tenuhamu.

We first met at his office in Canon City. We hit it off like we had been friends all are life.
Our enjoyment of playing poker and telling stories was always fun.
I was and still very shocked that he passed away. I will miss him and his stories.
Thoughts and prayers for family

I am still alive today because this Dr T found a spot of melanoma on my back. Thankfully he removed the spot and I am so thankful for Dr T and his knowledge and his friendship

We just found bd out about Dr T´s passing and are just in shock as we know everyone is! Dr T was our dermatologist for at least 22 years and in that timeframe he truly became like family. We trusted, admired, and truly loved him! Although we never met you Carrie and the boys we would share stories over the years and we feel like we know you! He was such a special and gifted man and will be deeply missed by so many whose lives he touched like ours! Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this incredibly difficult time and we hope that in time your fond fun memories will bring you peace and comfort! With all our love...Trish and Brittany Davison

To the Trookman family, we send our deepest condolences. May your memories, and the grace of time, help you to find peace.
To Dr. Trookman, our favorite doctor, thank you for taking exceptional care of us for 25 years. You were a brilliant man and a brilliant doctor. Oh how we will miss you. RIP.

He was the only Doctor that I made sure was on my health plan as my insurance changed over the years. I am shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. I appreciated his caring and humor.

So sorry to hear of his passing. He treated our entire family with compassion.

I am saddened, sickened and shocked to hear Dr. Trookman died. Seeing him for years, he was the only doctor I looked forward to seeing. So kind, gentle, caring and just FUNNY! He would talk about anything and everything. I can´t imagine how empty and upset I feel...that his family´s devastation must be unbelievable. Bless all of you and Dr. Trookman for being the amazing person he was. He touched us all.

My most deepest and sincerest condolences to Carrie and the boys. And to Dr. Trookman's staff. I work with Dr. Trookman 2007-2010 and he was such a wonderful soul. I'll miss him dearly

My condolences to the family left behind from Dr. Trookman´s passing. He was the only dermatologist I trusted and the only one that made me feel heard. He truly cared about his patients so I can only imagine the tremendous loss his family must feel and hope they can soon laugh about some of their fondest memories of him. Colorado Springs lost an amazing doctor that can never be replaced. I´m so sorry for the sudden loss.

I first met Nate when I worked in the Education Dept at St. Thomas More Hospital, Canon City, Colorado, where I assisted with video appointments for rural clients who couldn't make it into town. He was always so nice, made the client feel at ease, and was always attentive to the clients' needs. I reconnected just a couple of months ago when he treated some pre-cancerous spots on my face. Always the consummate professional. As a patient, I'm also incredibly glad for the diagnosis and immediate care he provided. He touched many lives. I will not forget your kindness and care, sir.
Sending my deepest condolences. May God rest your soul and watch over your family and co-workers now and always. ~Amen

Dr Trookman was a wonder Dr I have been seeing him-for several years, he always made me laugh and smile he will be missed
Terry Anthony

To Carrie and her wonderful sons, I´m so truly sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you

So very sad to hear of his passing.

My husband and I are very sorry for your loss. He had such a great sense of humor and was a very caring person. His eyes lit up when he had the freeze gun in his hand. Sadly,he will be missed.

Sincere sympathy to Carrie and her children. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dr Trookman, thanks for being the best dermatologist since 1997. You helped heal my hands from a latex and chemical allergy. You always made me feel comfortable and welcome and you listened and gave me the best care. I loved your jokes and you always asked me about magic since my husband and I used to do magic together. Rest in peace Dr Trookman. blessings to your family

Dr Trookman was a wonderful doctor who was always so kind, informative and gracious. May his memory be a blessing.

Dr. Nate Trookman was a highly respected colleague among Colorado´s dermatologists. He was my trusted referral for patients seeking care in Colorado Springs and Southern Colorado. Throughout his decades-long service as a Volunteer Faculty member at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, Department of Dermatology, he was a dedicated teacher and mentor to many medical students who were fortunate to learn from him.

My sincere condolences go out to his physician partners, his patients, and most importantly, his wife and children. Dr. Trookman´s legacy of compassion, expertise, and mentorship will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know and work with him.

I moved to Colorado Springs from Europe in the late 1990s and went to see Dr. Trookman initially in 2002 for my dermatology concerns and then brought along my teenaged daughter for hers. He made us feel seen and understood. Dr. T. was sincerely the best out of all the multiple specialists I have seen in this city across the spectrum in all the years I have lived here and I trusted his guidance and advice implicitly. Our family felt safe in his hands. We were shocked and deeply, deeply saddened to hear of his unexpected passing. Our sincere condolences go out to Dr. T´s beloved family, his friends, colleagues and fellow patients. May his memory always be an eternal blessing.

I am so sorry I didn´t know until today. I would have gone to his memorial service. He was an excellent physician and such a kind man.

I loved Dr Trookman´s stories. He would tell them when I received treatments to take my mind off the pain. It worked very well. One of my last appointments with him I told him he was my favorite doctor. He was so knowledgeable and kind. Rest in peace Doctor Trookman. You will be missed. Praying for his family.

Dr. Trookman was such a smart, caring, and compassionate physician. He was so kind and relatable. Just an amazing human being! I will miss him!

I as a previous employee of Dr.Nathan Trookman,I want express condolences to the family and the practice. It was a privilege to work with him.

Just heard today of Dr. Trookman's passing. We are so terribly sad and want to wish the best for his family. We, my husband and I, were his patients from the time we moved to Canon City in the mid 90's. Always so friendly and thorough with his examination. Sometimes would take care of our spots in the office, and would send us to the Pueblo or Springs office if they needed more attention. Will miss him very much. Many blessings to your family.

To Dr. Trookman´s Family,

I want you to know how much Dr. Trookman meant to me. Before I met him, my health had been poor for many years. It was hard for me to do even the simplest things, including taking care of my babies. I had no real quality of life and couldn´t find a doctor who truly understood or cared for me the way I needed - until I met Dr. Trookman.

He told me I deserved to have a better quality of life and began treating my medical needs with compassion and dedication. For the past 15-16 years, he has cared for me, listened to me, and helped me regain my health. Because of him, I have been able to do so many more things than I ever could before, and I feel like myself again.

Dr. Trookman was truly my hero. I loved him dearly and will miss him deeply. My heart aches for all of you, and you are in my thoughts and prayers. My family has always been so grateful to Dr. Trookman for doing what other doctors wouldn´t - for giving me back my life.

May God give you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
God bless you all.

With heartfelt sympathy
Anita Houston

Dr. Trookman was one of the kindest doctors to our family. He was genuinely compassionate and always willing to listen to concerns, providing solutions with ease. During my teenage years, I struggled with severe acne, which led to ridicule from peers. Dr. Trookman reassured me that with patience, the issue would be resolved, and things would improve. His expertise was remarkable. Notably, he successfully diagnosed my aunt's skin cancer, enhanced my mother's self-esteem, and provided care to numerous family members. May Dr. Trookman rest in peace. We are grateful for his dedication to our family's well-being.

I had no idea that the service was today and it breaks my heart that I wasn´t there. I celebrate him as a physician and as a mentor for my son Rory who did a rotation with him last summer. We have been patients of his since the time we moved here I believe in 1998.
He fixed skin issues that my three boys had that I had and my husband had in such a matter of fact way. I certainly don´t want to be more upset than his beautiful wife, Carrie and his children but I gotta tell you this one has been a hard hit. He and I talked about Croatia because I was on my way there and he was thinking about going on a bike trip. I met you years ago Carrie through Lora Vanwagenen I think and I´m not sure if you remember but I certainly do. You did a good job with your man and I know that you were certainly a reason why he was so successful. He was fun and funny and really kind to me and my kids when we saw him. He treated me like an equal even though I was just a nurse with less education. The header on this site says memories and condolences for Nathan Truman. So I gave you some memories and I don´t think he needs any condolences because I´m pretty sure he´s really OK
Sending you and your children intentions of peacefulness

Super nice person with a wealth of knowledge. So very sad to lose him at such a young age and at the pinnacle of his career. -Victoria King, M.D.

Our sincere condolences to Carrie, Jake, Matt and Ben for your loss. Our family enjoyed knowing you during our time together in Colorado Springs and we hope for healing and good memories of your times with Nate for the entire family,

Sincerely,

Brian, Marilyn, Derrick & Tori

Dr. Trookman was an incredible person. All that he treated were fortunate to be under the care of one of the greats. In this time of grief, may those who knew him be comforted by the personal blessing of having known him. I will miss this man, Godspeed Doc.

Dr Trookman was the kindest person, and so intentional when he engaged with you. He was funny, and loved by everyone. We are all incredibly sad about his passing and he is missed by all of us. Out deepest condolences to his family, and his employees. We will forever miss him. Lots of love, Misty and The Acclaro Family.

I, and countless others, are alive today thanks to Dr. Trookman. Doctors like Nathan live have earned immortality in that all of us who carry on do so because doctors like Nathan cared for and guided our exams and treatment.

Nate and Carrie were one of the first couples to welcome my daughter Lauren and I to Temple Shalom and include us in some Jewish high holiday celebrations to help make this very small Jewish community feel bigger. He gave great advice as a physician especially to my daughter that would not take the same advice from me. He did not just give advice for the now but also for the future.
With sympathy, love and fond memories I sadly say goodbye
Kerry Berg

I met Nate at a bring your parents party that my daughter put on when my wife and I moved to Colorado. He became my doctor and I always looked forward to seeing him as a friend and a doctor. Just a great guy and we am saddened by his passing. I am so sorry for your loss. He and you, his family, are in our prayers. Joe and Debbie Schultz

A great dermatologist and person. He kindly welcomed me into the Colorado Springs medical community back in 2003. Condolences to the family. RIP Nate, you will be missed and remembered by many.

My thoughts and prayers are with Carrie. I first met Nate when Dr. Cole introduced him at a party to other physicians in Colorado Springs.Larry mentioned that Nate was going to be a very special doctor. He was an exceptional dermatologist. He will be missed.

I worked for Dr Cole, and this fresh face just out of medical school came to work for us 1994 or there about. He was a breath of fresh air! And 15 years later he was my derm doctor! He still talked about the office chair I ordered for him and got in trouble with Dr. Cole! LOL, still has the same chair in the Canon City office, it was and still is a great chair! I will miss him so much a caring, compassionate doctor, friend and great sense of humor! The world has lost a great person, husband father,doctor and friend! Prayers to his wife, sons, family and all who loved him.

We are so sorry to learn of his passing. Dr. Trookman took great care of our entire family (me, Cindy, and Shaynie) as our trusted dermatologist. Our daughter Shaynie worked with him at the Dermatology Clinic and learned so much from him. May he Rest in Peace. We are sending our deepest condolences to his family and to all who knew him.

Such a wonderful, smart and fun Dermatologist and friend. Will miss seeing him and am thankful for knowing him over the years. My sincere sympathy to Carrie , their sons, and relatives.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. dr Trookman was not just a special doctor but a special person that I will never forget. He helped me get through a hard time by just talking when I lost my daughter 10 years ago, such an awesome person with a big heart that he shared. I am so sorry for your family. And of all his beloved patients and friends. No one will ever take his place Bless you all. Judi Burgett

Dr Trookman was such a nice person as well as a great dermatologist. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace. He always talked about his precious family.I was supposed to see him in January.

Dr.Trookman was an amazing physician. He always had a welcoming smile with a funny joke. He was just a down to earth person. He had so much love and respect for his family, friends and colleagues at the clinic. Both my husband and I extend our deepest condolences to his family, he was so proud of you and your accomplishments. To the staff and colleagues, your loss is deeply painful. Dr. "T" said many times how he appreciated every single one of you. To his friends, I know he was he was a great doctor but an even better friend.

A great friend and a superb colleague. Larger than life. God bless Nate and his wonderful family.

I remember the first day Dr.T joined the Colorado Springs Dermatology Clinic with Dr. Larry Cole . Didn't take long for him to build his practice. My sincere condolences to his family. Will always remember how kind Dr.T and his wife Carrie were to me and my husband. May God Bless. Sincerely, Sandy and Walter Scott

Dr. Trookman was my dermatologist for many years, maintaining a watchful vigil for early skin cancer. His kind and gentle energy always made the annual visits enjoyable. Always smiling, he was a meticulous professional who never failed to offer a personal connection each time he entered the exam room.

He was an integral, trusted, and highly respected member of the Colorado Springs medical community and will be dearly missed by colleagues and patients alike. We send our deepest condolences to his family for this heartbreaking loss.

John Campbell, MD

A good natured man whom I very much admired and looked forward to speaking to everytime I encountered him at family get-togethers. He left us far too soon and has created a void that will be impossible to fill! Rest-in-Peace Nate!
