In Memory of John Manuel Martinez Jr.

On November 13th John passed away after a very short and hard-fought battle with pancreatic cancer that was made more difficult by sepsis. The Martinez family is mourning the sudden loss of their beloved son, brother, and father.

Like the rest of the Martinez clan, John loved music and would jam out to heavy metal music. John loved Thanksgiving and is going to be very angry to miss his favorite holiday. Those who knew him best knew that although he had a tough exterior, in reality he had a soft heart and will always be remembered for his sarcasm and sense of humor. John lived for his daughter Anna and was lucky enough to be surrounded by the love of his family when he passed away.

John's diagnosis was sudden and unexpected. The Martinez family is left dealing with medical and funeral expenses while also grieving their loss. Any help in decreasing the family's financial burden and honoring John's memory would be hugely appreciated by those he loved.
