James “Jay” Martinez

Donation protected

On January 11th, the morning after James turned 39, he tragically died in an accident at his job site.
The world lost one of the best people it ever had. Anybody that had the pleasure of knowing Jay, knew one thing, when he showed up he made you laugh, and he always showed up. How to explain Jay? We would need days, and still it wouldn’t be enough cause the memories are endless. And to be honest, a GoFundMe post wouldn’t do him justice. What we can say is that he was devoted to his family and friends, he was the best son, brother, uncle and friend anyone could ask for. His love, support and respect for his family and friends was unconditional and unwavering.
Jay’s passing has left a gaping hole in his family’s lives and we are asking that his community help raise them up in prayer and help take some financial burden off their shoulders.
We all loved him so much, we can’t wait to hear all your stories about him, everyone that grew up in the good ol’Gonzales pretty much has one.
The donations are to pay for services, being that this is such a complicated situation with the manner in which this occurred, we cannot hold up his family’s ability to lay him to rest.
We all know Jay & Robert’s mom, Libby. And I’m sure, like us, at one time or another, she was a mom to you all. You can imagine the pain.
Anything helps and would be so appreciated
-Behalf of the Martinez family, God Bless.
