Our hearts are completely broken after the unexpected passing of my dad, Frank Martinez. He was the heart of our family — the one who could make anyone laugh, light up any room, and bring joy to everyone around him. Frank truly was one of a kind, and life will never be the same without him.

My mom has lost her best friend, her partner, and the person who always made sure we were all okay. Along with the deep emotional pain, she’s now facing the financial burden of funeral costs and the many unexpected expenses that come after such a sudden loss.

We’re hoping to come together as a family, friends, and community to help ease some of that burden for her. Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward covering funeral expenses and helping my mom with any costs she’ll face in the coming weeks and months as she adjusts to life without him.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page or keeping our family in your prayers. The love, kindness, and support we’ve already received mean more than words can express.

Thank you for helping us honor Frank’s memory and for being here for my mom during the hardest time of her life. He may be gone, but his laughter, love, and spirit will always live on through everyone who knew him.
