Obituary

Joaquin Narranjo Trevino, 89, passed away peacefully at Meridian Care of Monte Vista retirement home, San Antonio, Texas on Friday, February 3, 2023. Visitation will begin Wednesday, February 15, 2023 at 1100 hrs to 1400 hrs with religious officiation by Fr. Chris beginning at 1330 hrs at the Harper-Talasek funeral home located at 506 N 38th St., Killeen, Tx. Burial will follow at Central Texas State Veteran’s Cemetery at 1500 hrs.

Joaquin was born August 16, 1933 to his late parents Florentina G. Trevino and Jose Soto Trevino in Poteet, Texas. He was raised in San Antonio, Texas. He graduated from Wheatley High School before enlisting in the US Army in 1954. His enlistment took him around the world. Including Korea, Vietnam and Iran. But his favorite assignment was in France because he could take his wife, Janie…to whom he married on January 9, 1957. While stateside at Ft Gordon, Georgia, he developed young soldiers as a drill instructor. He retired from the Army after 21 years and moved his family to Ft Hood/Killeen, Texas, where he finally settled in 1978. He was a devoted member of St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Killeen where he served along side his wife as a Eucharistic Minister, administering the sacraments of Holy Communion.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 62 years, Janie Trevino; brothers, Rupert Trevino and Pedro Trevino; sisters, Josephina Mendoza and Guadalupe Chavez; and his grandson, Brandon Trevino.

Survivors include his sisters, Gloria Trevino Galvan and Maria Inez Oswalt; son, David Trevino; grandchildren, Daniel Trevino, Alexandra Trevino, Samantha Trevino, Stephanie Trevino, Simone Trevino; and his great-grandchildren, Yazmine Trevino and Roselei Esparza.
