There are many diseases (and insects and other disorders) that cause needles to change color and die. I might not be able to make an accurate diagnosis, even if you sent me photos. So I'll direct you to this diagnostic site:

And if several trees are involved, I'd encourage you to contact a certified arborist to get a professional opinion:
