Manuel Martinez

d. May 13, 2022

The Martinez family are sad to announce the passing of Manuel Eli Martinez Sr. Of Arroyo Del Agua. He passed at the age of 62 on May 13, 2022. Manuel passed away surrounded by his loved ones after a battle with cancer. Manuel was proceeded in death by his parents, Alfredo P. Martinez and Rafelita L. Martinez, his son Eric Martinez Sr., his brother Lonnie Martinez, and his brother-in-law Kenny Martinez Sr.

Trujillo, Caleb Trujillo, Damien Martinez, Eric Martinez Jr. Manuel Martinez III, his god daughter Hope Martinez, his two brothers Larry Martinez Sr. And Alfred Martinez Jr., his three sisters Priscilla Herrera, Bernice Herrera, and Joyce Redding, and his many nieces and nephews.

Manuel was a very fun, laid back and hardheaded, go with the flow kind of guy. He enjoyed life to the fullest and was never afraid of trying anything at least once. He enjoyed music and cruising his nice rides. He loved spending time with his grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, giving them rides in the wheelbarrow, sledding with them, chasing cows, eating bologna sandwiches in the mountains, and enjoying hiking adventures with them all. He shared a very close relationship with his little sister Joyce. They were two peas in a pod, together making life an adventure. And all the shenanigans him and his best friend Levi got into since they were kids will be memories in people’s lives that knew their friendship.
