JOE TREVIÑO Obituary
Joe worked in the downtown Brownsville movie theater business for many years. He worked his way up from being a popcorn boy at the Queen Theater to assistant manager of the Capitol Theater and later the manager of the Majestic Theater.
Joe is best known for the many years he dedicated to the funeral profession in Brownsville. He built, owned and operated the Treviño Funeral Home in Brownsville until 1989 when he sold the funeral home for health reasons.
After surviving a battle with stomach cancer, he went back into the funeral business. He purchased the Garza Memorial Funeral Home which he owned and operated until his retirement at the tender age of 85.
Joe loved his Brownsville community and was active in several local service organizations. In his spare time, he loved to play golf.
Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Daniel Kidder Treviño and Manuela Coronado Treviño, a brother Daniel K. Treviño, Jr. and a sister, Ofelia Paz.

I am so sorry and saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Trevino. He was my very first boss in 1968 at Majestic Theatre. After around 1973 I did not see him again for more than 30 years. Fortunately when I was in Brownsville in 2004 for a BHS class reunion I had the pleasure of seeing him again at his home. Throughout the years I would often think of him. He was someone that I looked up to with the utmost respect and admiration. My deepest sympathies to his family and especially to two of his children, Sandra and Oscar, who I am proud to call my friends. RIP Mr. Trevino, I will never forget you. Sincerely, Mike Dillon, Spring, TX.

My sincere condolences to the Trevino family. Have many great memories of going to Magistic Theatre with Mom and family. My favorite were the midnight shows with my bros and cousins and making sure everybody made it home at least by 3:00 in the morning. Joe is a great memory and always will be. Sorry for your loss.
