Martinez Family

As a hockey community, we are fundraising for our dear friends who have had a life changing event.

Aaron Martinez suddenly and unexpectedly passed away on Sunday, November 12th. He had a big impact on our hockey community with Arapahoe, Big Bear and Littleton. He cheered on everyone, and he always loved to say, “I just cheer for hockey.” Aaron was a numbers guy being an accountant, and he always kept track of all the kids’ stats he’d known through the years. He was constantly following their progress and would compliment them when he could. When he wasn’t watching hockey, he could be found watching sumo wrestling and MMA fights. He also had a love for cars and motorcycles.

Aaron leaves behind his wife, Cherie, and two children, Loda and Jinn. Loda, 10 years old, currently plays for Arapahoe Rec on the 10U Maize team. Jinn, 5 years old, currently plays for Big Bear 8U and Littleton 8U. One big hockey family.

Aaron’s funeral will be held at 2:00pm on December 8th at Horan and McConaty (11150 E Dartmouth Ave). Any support will be greatly appreciated for this amazing family.
