Tommy enjoyed everything about cars, and working on his “oldies”.  He loved to help people and minister to anyone in need. Tommy along with his wife devoted many years to marriage ministries and went on to become a Pastor for the last six years of his life, ministering most recently at Church of the Living God in Espanola.  He was the true definition of a good and loving man.  He was devoted to his family who cherished him, and he will be dearly missed.  He is preceded in death by his father, Lorenzo Martinez, his brothers Carlos, Raymond and Santiago Martinez, and by his in-laws, Ruben and Lorraine Serna.  Tommy is survived by his wife of 38 years, Vivian Martinez, and by his daughters Stephanie Roybal (Randy) and Karen Martinez, and by his precious grandchildren Ezra Martinez who he raised as a son, and Caleb, Emily and Nathan Roybal.  He is also survived by his mother, Tessie Martinez, his brothers Earl Martinez, Andrew Martinez (Rhonda) and his sisters, Dora and Bertha Martinez,  and by his sister in law, Florence Salazar and husband Ronnie, and brothers in law, Robert Serna (Debbie), Leroy Serna (Claire) and Donald and Floyd Serna, and many other relatives and good friends.  Public visitation will begin on Monday, August 10 at 6:30 pm at DeVargas Funeral Home, with a memorial service to begin at 7:00 pm.  Funeral service will be held on Tuesday, August 11, at 10:00 am at DeVargas Funeral Home with burial to follow at the Potrero Cemetery in Chimayo, with the following serving as pallbearers:  Ezra Martinez, Ronnie Salazar, Randy Roybal, Earl Martinez, Andrew Martinez, and Edwin Dean.
