Jewel Aston says her 32-year-old son was upbeat the last time he called her from Iraq -- just hours before he died in a vehicle accident.
The Pentagon says Marine Cpl. Trevor D. Aston of Austin died Tuesday in Al Anbar Province of Iraq. He was assigned to the Marine Forces Reserve's Austin-based 1st Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division.
The incident, described as non-hostile, is under investigation.
His mother said her only child moved to Austin from El Paso about nine years ago. Trevor Aston became a reservist after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in 2001. He'd been in Iraq since August 2004.
He'll be buried in El Paso at Fort Bliss National Cemetery. Funeral arrangements are pending.
