On 09/13/2025, tragedy struck when my nephew, who is 21 years old, was senselessly taken from this world. He is a son to Christina Guiterrez and my brother Alex Martinez. One never expects to lose a son at a young age, and almost never prepared for it. This unexpected tragedy comes at the hands of violence which has impacted both sides of the families.

He is a son, older brother, cousin, nephew, and friend to many people. Always smiling, he brought positive energy into every room he walked into. Never bothered by anyone or anything. He had a deep love for boxing and became an amateur fighter with hopes to make it one day.

No parent should ever have to bury their child. We are raising funds to assist his mother and father with expenses while away from work and anything else they may need during this difficult time.

Any amount helps, and if your unable to give, please consider sharing this page and help spread the word. Most importantly, keep our family in your thoughts and prayers during this unimaginable time.

From his uncle,

Art Martinez
