Merritt Goodyear – Third Generation Owner

Merritt Goodyear grew up in the aisles and lumberyard of Trinity Lumber & Building Supply. From sweeping floors and helping customers as a kid, to driving trucks and loading materials as a teenager, Merritt learned every part of the business hands-on.

In 2013, Merritt purchased the company, becoming the third generation to lead Trinity Lumber. He continues his family’s commitment to quality products, dependable service, and community values—while also bringing a forward-looking vision to serve today’s contractors, homeowners, and do-it-yourselfers.

Trinity Lumber remains very much a family business. Merritt’s wife, Sarah, works in the store, and their sons, Wade and Keir, often join the team as summer employees—representing the fourth generation to grow up in the business.

For the Goodyear family, Trinity Lumber is more than a business—it’s a family legacy and a way to give back to the community that has supported them for over 70 years.
