Joe Martinez Obituary

A beloved husband, father, son, grandfather, uncle and friend to so many died peacefully in his home on January 10, 2014. He was born in Cokedale, Colorado on June 29, 1939 to Nestor and Mary Martinez and raised in Trinidad, Colorado.

He is survived by his wife, Jenny; his sons, Steve (Irma), Michael, Danny (Floraida) and Gary Martinez. Also surviving are his grandkids Rachel, Rina, Michael, Steven Jr., Chasity, Renee, Sheena, Danny Jr., Gary Jr., Charleena, and Isabella as well as 17 great-grandchildren; his brothers Eddie and Anthony and sisters Nancy and Antonette.

Joe's personality was very inspirational. He was loved by so many. Family, cooking, dancing, fishing and hunting were his passions. He was a true jokester.

There is a piece of him in each and everyone of us and we will continue to carry on his legacy.

You will truly be missed and never forgotten. We Love You!

There will be a Rosary held on Friday, January 17, 2014 at 10:00 AM, followed by a Memorial Mass at 10:30 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, 1830 S. Corona Ave., Colorado Springs, Colorado 80905.

Joe V. was a one of a kind good man! Always happy, always smiling and always full of hysterically funny stories. I had lots of good times when his family and mine got together years ago. My hope is that he is the floor show in heaven and all the folks he knows are now having a great time with him.
