The country was hit by 7.2 and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes on Wednesday, with a reported death toll of at least 1,430 people.<\/p>\n

And according to family friend Edson Tortolero, Trejo\u2019s wife, Yanina Maranella, and children, Aar\u00f3n and Ainhoa, are among those who tragically died in the disaster.<\/p>\n

Tortolero, a soccer player himself, wrote on Instagram (originally in Spanish): \u201cWe inform all the people of Venezuela and Argentina that the bodies of Lucas Trejo\u2019s family members have been found lifeless.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank everyone for the support and ask for the most sincere respect for his family at this time. WE PRAY FOR ETERNAL LIFE FOR THEM.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trejo\u2019s club, Venezuelan side Club Sport Mar\u00edtimo de La Guaira, also confirmed the deaths in a statement and said that there had been a 74-hour search for his wife and children.<\/p>\n

\u201cClub Sport Maritimo La Guaira deeply mourns the loss suffered by Lucas Trejo\u2019s family. We ask for respect for his relatives and teammates,\u201d a statement read. \u201cAfter a 74-hour search, they were found deceased.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trejo, 38, joined Maritimo earlier this year and has spent much of his playing career in Venezuela.<\/p>\n

His father and brother, according to reports in Argentina, had travelled to Venezuela to help him in the agonizing search for Yanina, Aar\u00f3n and Ainhoa. The defender posted a sweet picture of his family to his Instagram story on Saturday, and wished her a happy birthday with a post in April.<\/p>\n

\u201cHappy birthday my love!!!,\u201d he wrote. \u201cMay God richly bless your life and continue to fulfill the desires of your heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a blessing for us as a family to have you and to move forward in the purpose we have together! With you everything is easier and more beautiful always.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Tragically, Maritimo has been rocked by other losses as well.<\/p>\n

The club mourned the passing of 14-year-old player Victor Palacios, who was a homegrown player for them.<\/p>\n

Maritimo also announced the passing of club staffer Adriana Aranguren.<\/p>\n

At least 68,900 people\u00a0have been reported missing as a result of the earthquakes as search operations continue.<\/p>\n
