Fresno County Deputy Sheriff, Mike "Baby" Trevino Jr., 51, passed away on March 21, 2016. He was born on November 29, 1964 in Fowler, Ca to Mike Trevino and Amanda Sarabia. He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Fabian and Rosa Trevino, Frank and Maria Luisa Sarabia; and aunts, Maria "Reina" Matcham, Mary Lou Buendia and Lupe Castanon. He is survived by his parents, Mike and Amanda; his children, Breanna and Fabian Trevino; brother Tony Trevino and his wife Sharon, brother David Trevino and his wife Monica, sister Cori Trevino and her husband Robert Vasquez, and brother Casey Trevino; grandchildren Micah Trevino and Damian Alvarran; and nieces and nephews, Allyson, Dominique, Jonna, Mateo and Nico; many aunts and uncles, cousins and countless friends. "Baby" was raised in Selma, Ca. He graduated from Selma High School in 1982. He then enlisted in U.S. Army, and served as a combat engineer. He returned to Selma, and worked at the Auto Warehouse and Fresno County Office of Education. He then enrolled himself in the Fresno City Police Academy in 1995. He worked full-time and attended the academy at night. He was hired by the Fresno County Sheriff's Department in July 1996 as a deputy II. He worked in the patrol division and later went on to work in the narcotics unit, following the footsteps of his father. Mike is best known for working the mountain area of Auberry/Prather. Mike will forever be known to the residents of the area as the “King of the Hill”. He had a way of relating to many types of people, in a way that few could. He broke barriers and established trust with the “locals” like no one had ever done before. Mike earned their respect, and that can be seen in the many kind words that people, including those he arrested, have shared since his passing. Shortly after the birth of his daughter, he moved to the Clovis foothills. He refused to leave, and passed away in his beloved hills. Mike had a love for the great outdoors, and enjoyed hunting and fishing with his brothers, Tio Frank, and close friends. He was up for any adventure. He had countless stories, including the time he had an encounter with Big Foot. He shared a love of classic cars with his father. He had many plans for his ‘36 Chevy chopped top sedan. He always called his father with the hidden treasures he’d find in the hills to see if dad needed it for his car collection. Mike and his mother had a one-of-a-kind relationship. They always seemed to be able to know what the other was thinking. Mike, as with all of his family, was a die-hard Raider fan. If he wasn’t in uniform, he’d be wearing his Raider attire. His greatest passion was his children and grandchildren, Breanna, Fabian, Micah and Damian. He enjoyed spending his time off with them. He was the most loving father and Papa. He loved to “snuggle” with Micah, and played countless hours of video games with Fabian. He wanted to share his passion of the outdoors with them, by taking family trips in his travel trailer. He will forever remain an irreplaceable part of his family. Mike holds a special place in the hearts of anyone who got to know him. Mike had a “heart of gold” and would give you the shirt off his back. He was our protector and will be deeply missed. He was and will forever be the “Baby” of the family. LOVE YOU BABY! We would like to thank everyone for their kind comments, visits and support. We would especially like to thank the Fresno County Sheriff’s Department and the FDSA for their generosity in our time of need. They were truly his second family.
