B17 Continued from Front Page Adam is well-known in the community, often seen in his signature suit and tie. He’s known as “Mr. T… Heavy on the T” by residents. He attends local sporting events and spends time with residents at the Woodridge Nursing and Rehabilitation Center every Sunday. Even at 85, he is still the first one in at the funeral home in the morning and the last to leave. He prides himself on providing personal service to members of the community. “I have never used an answering service,” Adam says. “If you call us, no matter day or night, you are always greeted with our familiar voices.” He still does all the funeral services and some of the embalming. Even though Beeville is a fairly small town, being a funeral director still requires a lot of dedication. Vacations, holidays, and birthdays are put on hold or celebrations canceled due to obligations at the funeral home. However, Adam finds it important to be there for families during their most troubling times. Many families are comforted with the knowledge that he and his wife Diana, along with his entire staff, is available at a moment’s notice to assist them in their time of need. Adam and Diana have been happily married for 15 years. Together they run the funeral home, side by side, at all times. Adam contributes his success to his hometown neighborhood. “My success is the west side of Beeville, and I thank the families we have served. They are the reason we have been successful and are still in business.” Adam is dedicated to investing in the future generations of funeral directors by sharing his knowledge and guiding younger generations as they enter the industry. He says he’s been deeply involved with eight to twelve young funeral directors. “I teach them the way I learned, the right way,” he says. Adam believes in the importance of showing compassion, integrity, and dedication to his families and makes sure the younger generations see that demonstrated from him daily. “I am the only one in the whole state of Texas that’s going on 64 years in the service,” Adam says. “Some might be older than me, but they’re retired. My plans are not to retire ever.” He really enjoys what he’s doing in life, which is more than just an occupation to him. What advice does Adam want to share with his colleagues? “Always be prompt and maintain a good reputation,” he says, adding “People know who I am, and that’s a blessing.” Adam is bilingual, speaking both Spanish and English. He says that oftentimes, he works with Mexican families who have come over the border and require his services. He can maintain his professionalism by conducting interviews and services in Spanish. The second generation funeral director, embalmer and owner was recognized in the June 2020 issue of Texas Director, the official publication of the Texas Funeral Directors Association, for his 60 years as a funeral director and embalmer. “I wasn’t able to receive it in person. The convention was postponed because of Covid,” Adam says. His goal at this point in his life is to be awarded his 70 year pin. Adam Treviño of Treviño Funeral Home Has Been in the Industry for Almost 64 Years Garden of Remembrance Memorial Park Welcomes Young Israel Shomrai Emunah as its 30th Partner Congregation CLARKSBURG,MD— The Garden of Remembrance (Gan Zikaron) Memorial Park in Clarksburg, MD is pleased to announce that Young Israel Shomrai Emunah (YISE) of Silver Spring, MD has become the 30th Partner Congregation of the Washington region’s nonprofit Jewish community cemetery. The first Orthodox synagogue established in Montgomery County, MD in 1951, the YISE section of Gan Zikaron is in the memorial park’s Orthodox section which conforms to the congregation’s religious practices. YISE is one of the largest Orthodox synagogues in Maryland. The rabbinic, professional, and lay leadership of YISE have been appointed to the memorial park’s advisory committee. The thirty Garden of Remembrance Partner Congregations include Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist, and Renewal congregations. The memorial park also serves those not affiliated with a synagogue. “Gan Zikaron serves the Jewish Community one family and one congregation at a time,” shares Hank Levine, president of the memorial park’s volunteer board of directors. “We honor our loved ones and comfort the bereaved at their greatest time of need,” concludes Levine. A complete list of the Partner Congregations can be found on the memorial park’s website (gardenofremembrance.org) Founded in 1999 by Washington Hebrew Congregation, the Garden of Remembrance (Gan Zikaron) Memorial Park is comprised of 152-acres of rolling hills, grass fields, and shade trees surrounded by a Forest Conservation Preserve and has been accredited as a Level I Arboretum and a Hybrid Green Burial Cemetery. An affiliated agency of the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, the memorial park has an experienced staff of caring counselors and is overseen by a volunteer Board of community leaders. The Garden of Remembrance is located near Interstate 270 at 14321 Comus Road in Clarksburg, MD.
