Remembering Martin's Bright Smile and Spirit

Don’t know were to begin, I am Esmeralda mother of 3 wonderful kids. This weekend on 11/23/24 in a tragic, tragic accident I lost my oldest baby Martin Torres Jr at the age of 21yrs old. I am not sure if I can wake up from this horrible dream and just be able to hold on to him and never let go. It’s has been very difficult and unreal for this to have happened to him when I was just seeing his light shine bright. He has helped my husband since small in anything and everything, from construction to plumbing to electrical. We were pushing him to follow one of those paths, but his passion for cars and engines told him other wise. Even though he had no hands on experience he loved seeing all the building car engine shows on tv, You Tube videos, Instagram and Facebook Market that gave him an idea of how the cars and motors work. His passion for cars gave him joy, lifted his spirit, he wanted to learn more. He found a Eropean mechanic shop close to our house, where he was willing to work for free for the experience. They welcomed him with open arms to help them with basic stuff, but soon after they learned that he had a lot of knowledge they gave him the opportunity to work on their clients BMW’s and any other German card. He did not only found a place were he can work but new friends that also shared the same passion. With his knowledge of construction, plumbing and electrical also helped him with the knowledge of how things work. My son was a nice, smart, caring, quiet soul!! Our whole family loves him we are all in disbelief that this is not true. We are hoping this is not true, he didn’t wish any harm on no one, had not one enemy, was never in a disagreement with anyone. Was very hard to make him mad. He had the most beautiful eyes that would melt me when he would talk to me or ask me to buy him something ❤️. The biggest smile that he shared with everyone!! He was a wonderful son, brother, cousin, nephew, grandchild, and friend. This is tearing us apart. I know that it just happened but their is no consolation to the void we all have in our heart for his tragic passing driving his new car that had everything he wanted. A small mistake in the road took him from us on 11/23/24 at Victorville tragic crashes on the 15fwy.

He will always live in our heart, our thoughts, our memories but it’s too painful to continue living life without him. I want to be strong, but at every corner I see something that reminds me of him or hear a noise that shows me he is still around. Looking for peace.

I don’t understand know why, but it comforts me that we will be together again!
