Nicholas Trevino

Nicholas Alan Trevino, 26, passed away Wednesday, May 18, 2011. He was born on September 2, 1984 in Houston, Texas. Nick is survived by his mother, Terri Kushner, daughter, Kaydence Woody-Trevino and her mother Mary Kathryn; grandmother, Joyce Hooper; step-father, Richard Kushner and wife Sandy; father, Richard Trevino and wife Rita; brothers, Ryan Trevino, Jason Trevino and wife Jennifer, and Justin Trevino; uncles, Robert Edwards and wife Regina and Michael Campbell and wife Beverlie; cousins, Casey Campbell and Kaitlin Nettles; grandfather, George Mulligan; Hannah Amanti and children Hayden and Ally "Boo Boo"; all his Marine Corps brethren; and many more relatives and friends all over the country. Nick is preceded in death by his grandfathers, John Hooper Edmund “Pop” Kushner and Jim Campbell; grandmother, Catherine Kushner; great-grandmother, Mary Biddy; and sister-in-law, Breanna Hayes-Trevino. Nicholas was a true patriot who served with bravery and honor during two combat tours in Iraq as a Machine Gunner in the United States Marine Corps. His decorations and other military awards include: Combat Action Ribbon, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon (2nd Award), Iraq Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation, Certification of Commendation, and Expert Rifle Qualification Badge. Aside from his military career, Nick was a superb athlete who excelled in many sports, especially football, which he played while attending Westfield High School. He was also an avid hunter and fisherman who reveled in the peacefulness and beauty of the outdoors. Though he was a force to be reckoned with on the gridiron and on the battlefield, Nick was also a kind and gentle soul who valued selflessness and loyalty above all other virtues. Those qualities, combined with his one-of-a-kind sense of humor, earned him a vast and diverse group of friends throughout his life.
