At a service many months ago to say goodbye to Tretsven, a minister told the crowd that he was “a man of many talents and skills.” One of his supervisors described important moments in Tretsven’s life, from joining the Boy Scouts and becoming an Eagle Scout, to joining the U.S. Forest Service after high school where he learned to fight wildfires.
He joined the L.A. County Fire Department in 2007. All of Tretsven’s dangerous work fighting fires and protecting people from blazes was in some ways secondary to his irrepressible sense of humor. When his family, friends and co-workers lined up to say goodbye to him at a formal service in November of 2022, L.A. County Fire Department Captain Steve Blackburn got a huge laugh from the crowd of family members, colleagues, neighbors and admirers when Blackburn told them that above all, Tretsven was a man who wanted to make others laugh. Blackburn said, “If Chris Farley, John Candy and Larry the Cable Guy had a baby, that’s Arn. He had a compulsion to make people laugh.”
