Hello, My Father Eladio Martinez has unfortunately lost his fight to Lymphoma Cancer after it returned a second time at the age of 78. He fought hard to the end with the hope of beating cancer again. We ask that you keep our Dad and family in your prayers and that you keep alive all the memories you had with him. My Dad loved his wife, his family and his friends. He was married to my Mom for 49 loving years, was a father of 4, and a grandfather to 9. If you were a stranger he would start a conversation with you to get to know you. He was a kind man who loved helping however he could . He loved to share stories with everyone. At this time we are asking for help to cover cost from the hospital bills, transportation costs from Kansas City to Dodge City and the cost of his burial. I remember him going house to house collecting money for those less fortunate when they needed it. I appreciate all you have done for us during his life and long fight and I know my Dad would have been grateful for your friendship and generosity. He lived a great life and we lost a great man, but heaven gained a beautiful soul. Thank you Dad.
