Help us lay our son Gabriel Martinez to rest

On July 10, 2025, our beloved son Gabriel Martinez, only 20 years old, was tragically taken from us in an unexpected accident. As parents, nothing prepares you for this kind of heartbreak. We are devastated beyond words. Gabriel was my baby and my husband’s pride—his only son.

Gabriel was full of dreams and a heart bigger than the world. He was always helping however he could—whether it was people or animals in need. He fostered and boarded animals, giving them safety and love when no one else could.

His passion was cars and motorcycles. He loved fixing them and dreamed of one day owning his own car. Gabriel was incredibly independent, always thinking of others before himself, and doing everything he could to support those around him.

As we navigate this unbearable loss, we are also facing the unexpected financial burden of laying our son to rest. We are asking for help from our family, friends, and community to raise funds for Gabriel’s funeral and burial expenses.

Any amount—no matter how small—will help us give Gabriel the farewell he deserves. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this campaign with others.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and support during this painful time.

With love and gratitude

The Martinez family
