May 28, 2008 ~ Sept. 27, 2026
It is with heavy hearts, that we announce the passing of Nathan Trejo of Sudan, Texas, who passed away on Sunday, September 27,2026, at the age of 18 years old. He was born on May 28,2008, in Littlefield, Texas to his loving mother, Diana Irasema Aguilar.
As a child of four, Nate grew up making many memories with his lifelong friends and companions that he knew as his brother and sisters. He had an unconditional loving bond with his siblings and mother. Nate was from a rural area where many people utilize the resources they have. One memory that his family will forever cherish is when he and his siblings were trying to make sopa, a delicious Mexican soup, and had to drive to Food Jet to get the tomato sauce on the tractor. His siblings were always working together to get things accomplished. They all enjoyed many road trips and spending time together as a family, especially on the holidays. Nate had an immense love for his family.
Nate was an intelligent young man and graduated earlier than some of his peers from Sudan High School with the Class of 2024. Nate had been talking about the feedyard since he was four. Not as a maybe. As the plan. He wanted to work there so he could make a better life for his family and eventually build a family of his own. Nate’s ambition behind his plan was to grow, get better, and leave people better than how they were.
Immediately after graduation, Nate began working so that he could begin making his larger goals a reality for himself. Furthermore, at the young age of 18 years, Nate was not a stranger of getting his hands dirty. He was not intimidated by honest hard work and being independent. Nate was strong-willed in nature and faced life with determination and devotion to his life’s goals. He could fix almost anything, learn a job he’d never done, and talk you into betting on him—usually because he’d already decided he was going to pull it off. He was mind driven and mechanical. Nate could spend hours working on his truck or anything that required his full attention.
To those who knew him, he was a “goofy” guy whose smile and laugh were contagious. His family was always amazed by how fast he could clear a box of pizza without so much as a pause. Keeping in mind that he was full of youth, after work or in his spare time, Nate treated playing the Xbox as a secondary shift. One of Nates most treasured moments were those made while he was hanging out with family and friends while enjoying good food. During his young adult years, Nate made many friendships but was blessed with someone that he truly considered to be like an extended brother who all knew to be Zachary ‘Zach’ Montes. Their friendship was meaningful and their bond was greater.
Nate was special in his own unique way. He was exactly the person God intended him to be. His friends will remember “Nate Dog” as the guy who made ordinary days louder. Nate’s family will remember the kid who was vivacious and never quit that they were blessed with for 18 years. Moreover, he will be missed by everyone who ever handed him a problem, a game controller, or a pizza.
Those left to cherish his memory are his beloved mother, Diana Irasema Aguilar; a brother, Diego Aguilar of Littlefield, Texas; two sisters, Katarina Amalia of Lubbock, Texas, and Nayeli Rivas of Sudan, Texas; uncles and aunts, Leticia Aguilar, and her son, Anthony Rice, Elisa Martinez, spouse, Lorenzo, their children, Ivan and Araceli Martinez, and Martha Bourquin, spouse, Paul, their children, Tylynn, Madison, and McKenna Bourquin; and numerous extended family members.
Nathan is proceeded in death by his grandparents, Juan Aguilar, Sr. and Elisa Aguilar that were always supportive in all his milestones in life before they entered eternal life; and his uncle, Juan Aguilar, Jr.
Funeral services were held Saturday morning, October 3, 2026, at First Baptist Church in Sudan, Texas with Pastor Billy Montes officiating. Serving as pallbearers were Diego Aguilar, Jon Conley, Amador Toscano, Anthony Rice, Kyle Clausen, and Jose Deluna.
Arrangements were under the personal care of Hillcrest Funeral Home in Littlefield, Texas.
