It's been many years. I've forgotten how long it's been. But the suffering still stays no matter how far time tends to go on. When I was born, I always wanted a brother. Then my mom told me I did. However he died. But he died a hero. He died for valor, for honor, and died for the sake of keeping the good name of this country alive. My brother Stewart Trejo, would never go unloved and unrecognized. He will be the man I can only hope to be. I'm currently 17. Yet I'm far from the man my brother was. Would have loved to have had five minutes with him. If God could have spared me at least five minutes, I would have made the best of the seconds I had. I would tell him how much I loved him, and he meant a lot to me. It's truly a tragedy. A long dissonant ringing in my ears and heart. And it's painful. If I could only be a fraction of what he made himself to be. Then and only then would I consider myself a good individual, and what it really means to be a man. Dying for what matters, your loved ones. I will miss you brother. And will never forget you. Thank you for being a good man and being by my side spiritually. I love you, brother.

CPL Trejo,
I never knew who you were. What I do know is that I was at the accident and you became my Marine. Five years you have been my Marine. I was the Corpsman who tried to save your life and return you to your family. My apologies that I failed my mission that night. I believe that I am one of the only Corpsmen who was with their Marine in the field, and then was able to attend a memorial service for them. I was at Rosecrans when you were laid to rest. I heard your gun salute. I wish I would have met you. Guard the streets if Heaven with pride!
God Bless your family.
Your Doc,

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you Stewie. I miss you soo much and all the stuff we used to do together. I miss playing guitar with you, beating you at street fighter and other video games we used to play together, listening to the same jams and introducing each other to new ones, hanging out and cracking old jokes that made us laugh for hours. I remember the first time we went snowboarding in Whitefish MT. Oh man, you fell and bruised your butt pretty bad. I still don't know how you did that but it is still funny to remember how you went down that hill and came back up with a handfull of butt, haha. I miss watching our favorite movies together and just being our nerdy selves anywhere and everywhere. You were such an awesome brother, best friend, father and marine. I will always be proud of you brother D! You will always live through us all, in our hearts, minds and memories. Rest in peace my dear brother, I love you so much and hope that one day we can see each other again.

Love: Your little sis.

It is you're 27th Birthday today and not a single day passes without you in my heart. I miss you dearly Stewie, god all the good times we shared together keep running through my head, I find myself crying harder and harder each day that goes by. It's a lie when they tell you it gets easier with time, with time we only try and accept our greatest loss, you! I can see you're beautiful smile in my head right now, I can hear you're funny little giggles when you would laugh, god I miss you so damn much Stewart. My heart still hurts for you, I wished I could have told you more often how proud I am of you, you are the one and only hero in my heart. You always looked out for me and the greatest big brother a girl could have. I will never forget you buddy, you are and always remain my world, my best friend and the only person who knew everything about me and who I am. I hope to one day see you again, to be able to hold you tightly and tell you that you are loved deeply by all of us. You're friends, siblings, mother, aunts, cousins, and fellow marines. Until we meet again my sweet brother, I love you! Happy Birthday!

Man how I miss you, I replay that night everyday in my head and wish it was you that had survived. I just want to turn back time and stop it all from happening. You were a great Marine and more importantly a great friend. I feel liked I failed you and should of been able to get us out... I'm deeply sorry for it. You died by my side, but live in my heart. I hope I make you proud. I miss you.
Love your friend,

September 6, 2009

My dearest brother Stewart, through the time that has passed without your presence, i find myself crying harder and harder because you died, i miss you SOOO much Stewie, you were my very best friend and the only real friend i had. There are times where it feels like you are watching over me but i just wished i could hold you and tell you how much i love you. A second december is coming without you to celebrate your birthday and christmas. It will be very hard knowing that it's you're month and you are not here to share it with us. I love and admire the courage you had to sacrifice you're life for the United States of America. I will never forget all the wonderful and glorious moments you and i shared together in MT. It pains me to think of everyone that has ever hurt you, but never fear because you're little sis is still here. I remember when you used to call me little nicknames, like pepe long stolkings, or you're little bernie. I hope to one day be by you're side again and to share new and beautiful experiences with you, you were my one and my only and still are my hero. God bless you're beautiful soul, and may god be by you're side each day that you serve him. You are and will always be remembered by all of us, you're family and you're fellow brothers that sacrificed their lives with you, may mickinsky be with you to smile at you and share you're wonderful soul. We miss you! The sun is still shinning, but the ice is still slippery! I love you my dearest brother. Love always and forever, you're pepe long stolkings :)

Its been 7 months since we had a chance to see you, not a day goes by where that night doesnt replay in my head, we all try talking about it and hoping someone can learn from our stuff, but it hurts to loose a friend and an outstanding Marine. Some of the special times I remember are the bets over football games and the haggling we did in Fallujah. I remember the 1st time we met and you told me your goal was to be merit Sergeant! You was on your way brother. Ill pray for your family and please watch over mine. Until we meet again Semper Fi

In Memory of Stewart ~ (Debra Estep)

November 24, 2008

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Stewart, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

I would like to send my condolences to the Trejo Family during your time of loss. I had the privilege of serving with Cpl Trejo Since I go to Camp Pendleton. I also deployed with Trejo and worked closely with him in Iraq. We spent many nights talking about our kids and how much we missed our Kids. He was the kind of person you want around, someone who is always pushing you to do better. He embodied everything you would expect from a locked on Marine NCO.
Trejo I am sorry that I could not make it to your funeral. I miss you brother and I know that you are doing your duties in Heaven. Semper Fidelis Brother!

I came across Stewart's Grave yesterday as I visited my own brother's grave. I can personally say that one never gets over the pain of losing a loved one, one merely learns to live with that void. The best we can do is carry on with the hope that we will one day be reunited with them. My sympathy and prayers go out to this young Marine's family. May he rest in peace.

I too know what you are going through and what you will go through in the coming weeks and months ahead. You will have many questions as to why? You will have many things to get ready or go through and that should be done in time. Sometimes it just can’t be faced and that’s ok, for you will know when the time is right for you. There is no right or wrong way to grieve it’s an individual journey that unfortunately we now have to take. I ask that God give the comfort, strength and courage that you are going to need. When and if the time is right for you please contact me. You can cry, vent, or just talk as only another person who has been where you are can really know what you are going through. May God continue to be with you and heal you

Thank you for your sacrifice Cpl. Stewart S. Trejo and to your loving family. My heart aches for you all, I know your pain as my Marine son passed away last October after two tours in Iraq. I know how proud of Stewart you are and our nation is grateful, he is one of only a few who choose to be the best, a United States Marine.

I would like to first of all say I am sorry for your loss. But I would also like to thank the family for your sacrifice for me and my family to be safe during this time of war. There are not enough words in the World to express my sympathy but always know that My family stands behind our Soldiers the ones there and the ones we have lost. Thank you again.

I would like to extend my sympathy to Cpl. Trejo's family and friends on behalf of my family. Our words, however simple they may seem, can never heal the hurt you must be feeling, but I hope that they bring you some comfort. May we all try to live a life that would make Cpl. Trejo proud, as we must earn what he and so many other brave soldiers gave up for us.

Thank you, Cpl. Trejo, for putting yourself on the line for me, my family, and our country.
