|
|
memories of Roberto Trevino, who passed away on March 29, 2021, at |
|
|
the age of 89, and of his wife, Hermidia Trevino, who passed away on |
|
|
April 5, 2021, at the age of 87; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born on September 5, 1931, Roberto Trevino was the |
|
|
son of Bruno and Nicasia Trevino; after graduating from Falfurrias |
|
|
High School, he enlisted in the United States Air Force, and while |
|
|
in the military, he played football and baseball, which led to him |
|
|
traveling to compete at bases around the world; he continued his |
|
|
football career at Texas A&I University, where he was a member of |
|
|
the 1959 championship team; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The former Hermidia Garcia, who was affectionately |
|
|
known as "Mamie," was born on April 8, 1933, to Alberto and |
|
|
Manuelita Garcia; she graduated from Kingsville High School and |
|
|
subsequently studied at Baptist Nursing School in San Antonio to |
|
|
become a registered nurse; she first worked as an emergency room |
|
|
nurse at Kleberg County Hospital, before becoming a school nurse; |
|
|
she met the love of her life, Roberto Trevino, while continuing her |
|
|
studies at Texas A&I University, where she earned a bachelor's |
|
|
degree and two master's degrees; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Trevino enjoyed more than six decades |
|
|
of marriage; through their careers as educators, they touched the |
|
|
lives of countless students, many of whom returned later in life to |
|
|
thank the couple for the support and encouragement they provided |
|
|
them; both husband and wife also shared a strong religious faith |
|
|
that led them to serve their congregation at St. Martin's Parish, |
|
|
where Mr. Trevino was a 30-year member of the choir and |
|
|
Mrs. Trevino was a Eucharistic minister; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Deeply devoted to their family, Mr. and |
|
|
Mrs. Trevino were the loving parents of three children, Bobby, |
|
|
Emmy, and J. E., and they were further blessed with seven |
|
|
grandchildren, Robert Michael, Estevan, Michaela, Maya, Benjamin, |
|
|
Timothy, and Marcello, and two great-granddaughters, Isabella and |
|
|
Violetta; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Roberto and Hermidia Trevino set an inspiring |
|
|
example through their passion for teaching, through the rewarding |
|
|
family life they built, and through their commitment to one |
|
|
another, and they will always hold a treasured place in the hearts |
|
|
of those they leave behind; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|

|
|
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Roberto and |
|
|
