Honoring Raymond Martinez — Army Veteran, Grandfather, Father, Uncle & Brother

On November 18, 2025, our family experienced a heartbreaking loss. Raymond Martinez, an Army Veteran and a man deeply loved by his children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, and nephews, passed away unexpectedly in his sleep. His passing has left a hole in our hearts that words can’t fully capture.

It seems like just yesterday I was posting on GoFundMe for the passing of the father of my children… and now I find myself here again, this time for my own dad. Life has a way of testing our strength, and right now our family is doing our best to hold each other up through this pain.

We want to honor my dad with the dignity and respect he deserves, but the cost of funeral arrangements has become overwhelming. I am humbly asking for help to give him a proper burial — one that reflects the love, pride, and gratitude we feel for him.

Any amount, no matter how small, helps more than you know. If you cannot donate, sharing this page would mean just as much. From our family to yours, thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers during this difficult time.
