In Loving Memory of Miguel Martinez

Miguel Martinez-Cisneros was a dedicated husband, father, son, uncle, friend, and coworker. As a husband and a father, he was a loving provider and leader. As an uncle, he was a second dad. My brother and I could always look to him for support, advice, and guidance. As a friend and coworker, he was someone to look up to and a mentor to many. He looked out for and cared for everyone.

My uncle was a man of routine. He loved being organized. You could always find him cleaning, moving things around, and fixing things. He was meticulous, paying attention to the smallest details. He was best described as hardworking, responsible, and dependable. He was always willing and ready to help with anything, at all times. You could always count on him. My uncle was an incomparable man loved by all.

On Tuesday, November 26, Miguel lost his life in a tragic accident. Life changes in a blink of an eye. He was with us one moment and the next, he was not. He leaves behind a wife, daughter, and son. There were still many things to do with him and many memories to create with him. Trips we needed to take, many more Costco runs to be made, Sunday family dinners to have, and hugs we needed to give him.

In this holiday season, we encourage you to hug your loved ones tightly, tell them how much they mean to you, and value the time you have with them. We also ask that you keep his family in your thoughts and prayers during this tough time, as they make this difficult transition.

My uncle always made sure his family was cared for and provided for. Family was his number one priority. I know that he would be immensely grateful knowing that his family was still being taken care of during this time of need and tremendous loss and grief.

In order to help his family give him a proper farewell, we ask that you consider helping alleviate some of the financial burden. Anything helps and is forever appreciated! Thank you and may God bless you!

Miguel Martinez-Cisneros era un devoto esposo, padre, hijo, tío, amigo y compañero. Como esposo y padre, él era un proveedor y líder cariñoso y amoroso. Como un tío, él era como un segundo padre. Mi hermano y yo siempre podíamos acudir a él por apoyo, consejo y guianza. Como amigo y compañero, él era un mentor para muchos. Él cuidaba por y veía por el bienestar de todos.

Mi tío era un hombre de rutina. A él le gustaba ser muy organizado. Siempre lo podías encontrar limpiando, moviendo algo, o arreglando algo. Él era detallista, le ponía atención al más pequeño detalle. El mejor se puede describir como trabajador, responsable y confiable. Siempre estaba dispuesto y listo para ayudar con cualquier cosa, a todo momento. Se podía confiar en él siempre. Mi tío era un hombre incomparable querido por todos.

El martes 26 de noviembre, Miguel perdió su vida en una tragedia terrible. La vida cambia en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Un momento él estaba con nosotros y al siguiente no. Le sobreviven una esposa, una hija y un hijo. Aún nos quedaban muchas cosas y memories por hacer con él. Teníamos viajes por hacer, cenas que compartir y abrazos que dar.

En esta temporada de fiestas, les animamos a abrazar a sus seres queridos, decirles cuánto los quieren y valorar el tiempo que tienen con ellos. También les pedimos que mantengan a su familia en sus oraciones durante este tiempo tan difícil.

Mi tío siempre se aseguró de cuidar y proveer por su familia. Su familia era su primera prioridad. Yo sé que él estaría inmensamente agradecido sabiendo que su familia está siendo cuidada durante éste tiempo de necesidad, perdida e inmenso dolor.

Les pedimos que consideren ayudar con los gastos financieros para poder darle a mi tío una despedida apropiada. ¡Cualquier ayuda es eternamente apreciada! ¡Muchas gracias y que Dios les bendiga!
