Tony Trevino

Nov. 8, 1943

Sept. 2, 2016

Jose Antonio (Tony) Trevino was born to Joe O. Trevino and Carmen Olaeta Trevino on November 8, 1943 in Winnemucca, Nevada. Tony was a third generation Nevadan whose maternal grandparents were early Basque immigrants into the Lovelock area.

Tony was raised and schooled in Lovelock, graduating from Pershing High School in 1962, as an All-American selection in football. Upon graduation from the University of Nevada, where he was a halfback and kicker on the Wolf Pack football team, Tony was a Biology teacher and coach in northern Nevada high schools for 30 years.

After brief teaching stints in Battle Mountain, Douglas County, and western Australia, Tony taught for 20 years at Edward Reed High School, and finally for 5 years at Sparks High School.

He delighted in visiting and conversing with former students he would see in his travels around town. After his retirement from the Washoe County School District in 2001, Trevino taught at the elementary level at Brookfield School and Saint Alberts Catholic School. For several years he was a substitute elementary school teacher for Washoe County.

Trevino was a cancer survivor of 12 years and was battling Parkinson's disease at the time of his death. Tony is preceded in death by his parents and his son, Dennis Lauderbaugh. Tony is survived by his wife of 39 years, Nickie Trevino; sons, Thomas Lauderbaugh, and John Trevino; daughters, Teresa Trevino, and Allison Downs; and grandson, Joseph Lauderbaugh.

Per Tony's request there will be no services, but please pray for such a sweet man.

In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family requests donations for a scholarship in Tony's name to help a Pershing High School student attend the University of Nevada. Please send to Pershing County High School, P.O. Box 990 Lovelock, NV 89419.

When I was eight years old and at one of my first Little League baseball practices, the coach told us to pair off and warm up by playing catch with each other. I was new to baseball, to this team, and fairly new to the town. I was also a little shy. When everyone paired off to warm up, I was the only one left with no partner. Then, Tony came over and said, I'll play catch with you! I was new, but I knew who he was. That made me pretty nervous. But Tony was friendly and talked with me the whole time. He gave me some pointers (a coach even then). That was 60 years ago, but it was an experience that stood out for me. Tony was a talented ballplayer and a very good man.

Mr. Trevino inspired many of us from Battle Mountain to do our best in sports and academics. He was one of the good guys for sure. He will be sorely missed. Bruce Bannister

Mr. Trevino's advanced biology class was my favorite academic class in high school. I was a Jr in 1990-1991 at Reed High. It's one of the few classes I still remember to this day. My condolences to his family and friends. I'm sure he is watching down on all of you. He's only a thought away.

I didn't like school or science too much- but I loved mr. Trevino:) he made me feel like I knew something and he would tell me I could always do better if I hadn't put forth the effort. After 17 years of teaching,I hope,I have helped others feel the same:)

I'm so sorry to hear that Tony has passed. I knew him when I was a child. He was a great guy and father to my fried Teresa.

I'm very sorry to hear of Mr. Trevino's passing.

Mr. T was a great teacher and he had the patience of a Saint putting up with me at Reed High School . I'm also glad that I contacted him well after I graduated (when he taught at Sparks High) and let him know that he was truly appreciated. I will always remember his smile (and his look of exasperation) during Biology class.

Sending his family our deepest condolences.
