Command Master Chief AFCM, United States Navy Retired from 24 July 1961 - 10 July 1992 Alfred Montez Trevino Fred a beloved husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, granduncle, cousin, friend and neighbor went home to the Lord on January 24, 2015. Fred was born in 1941, the first of nine children to Jesse and Juanita Trevino in San Antonio, TX. Fred is survived by eight siblings: Rachel, David, Mario, Eleanor, twins Dan and Jane, Ruth and Eunice, and many cherished nieces and nephews, most of whom are San Antonio residents. Fred graduated from Burbank High School and enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1961. Early on he served as a jet engine mechanic in Kingsville, TX from 1961-9165. It was here that he developed his love of jets. He then served at Moffett Field from 1965-1970. From 1970-1975 Fred moved his young family to Rota, Spain where he was promoted to Chief and continued to work closely with jet engine mechanics. He returned to the United States, Virginia Beach, VA in July 1975. He served in the Command Master Chief capacity at several positions at the Norfolk Naval Base and Little Creek Naval Base as well as aboard the USS Kitty Hawk CV63 until his retirement in July 1992. Fred lived the last 39 years of his life in Virginia Beach, VA where the frequent sound of fighter jets out of Oceana Naval Air Station roared and shook the windows. In the evenings, he could be found sitting, looking up to the sky, smiling, and ready to tell you what planes were flying over head. Fred is survived by his wife Estela Jimenez, his son Daniel Alfredo and his family: wife Penny and son Tyler and daughter Diana Alicia and her family: a daughter Laura and a son Ian Mowery, daughter-in-law Kayla, and Fred's great-grandson, Hoyt. Fred was very loving, thoughtful, generous, kind, and funny--always quick to smile, a man with whom it was very easy to befriend. His love of family, the brethren, and neighbors was unequaled. He rejoiced to no end at the opportunity to be of service to them as well as to any stranger who might cross his path. Fred was deeply honored to have served his country during the Vietnam War, as his "Navy Dad" Jesse had served during WWII. Fred's burial will be at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery with Military Honors on February 13, 2015 at 1:45 p.m. as it was Fred's long-time desire to be buried alongside his "Navy Dad" Jesse Trevino. Fred rose to the level of Command Master Chief AFCM in United States Navy during his thirty-one years of service. The Trevino Families request that memorial donation considerations be made in Fred's memory to The Brain Treatment Center of Newport Beach, CA 92660, at 1601 Dove Street, Suite 299. Their phone number is 949-851-3086. This organization is recognized for successfully treating military service members suffering from PTSD... like Diana, Fred's only daughter, who emerged from the treatment as a new person. Dear Fred, "your love has given me Estela great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, as husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, sibling, brother-in-law, uncle, granduncle, cousin, friend and neighbor have refreshed the heart of the Lord's people." Philemon 1:17
