Donation protected
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Officer David Martinez, who left us on August 16, 2025. David proudly served the West New York Police Department for 25 years, dedicating his life to protecting and serving his community with honor, integrity, and compassion.
David was more than an officer — he was a devoted husband, a loving father to two beautiful daughters, and a deeply respected friend and colleague. His kindness, strength, and commitment to others left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him.
This fundraiser has been created to support David’s wife and daughters during this heartbreaking time. All donations will go directly to his family to help with:
Funeral and memorial expenses
Immediate financial support
Long-term care and education for his daughters
David spent his life serving and protecting others — now it's our turn to support the family he loved so dearly.
Any donation, no matter the size, is greatly appreciated. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this campaign with others who may wish to help.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers as we honor Officer David Martinez’s life and legacy.
