Martin was a man with a big heart and simple tastes. He loved fishing, the outdoors, non-stop music, and loved to cook. He was easygoing, quiet, and very accommodating. He had a “Don’t Sweat It” attitude. He could always make you smile, and feel at ease. He was never judgmental, he believed a smile goes a long way and it could possibly help someone. He loved his family, especially his son Jordan and two grandsons Joseph and Avrey Olivarez.
He was preceded in death by his mother, grandmother Gregoria Mata Olivarez, and sister San Juanita Flores.
Martin is survived by his son Jordan Martin Olivarez; brother Jesus Rene Olivarez; sisters, Bertha Sue Casanova, Rosie Olivarez Dodd, and Norma Vanderpool; aunt, Eustolia Rodriguez Olivarez; cousins, Hermelinda Lopez, Josefa Reyes, Daniel Mata, Jr., Gilbert Mata, Ricardo Mata, Elizabeth Mata, Diana Olivarez and Philip A. Olivarez; nephews, Jesus Rene Olivarez, Jr., Mark Yanez, Ozzy Oscar Flores, Bryce James Flores, and Armando Luna, Jr.; and nieces, Miranda Marie Alonzo, Amanda Isabel Lemus, Evelyn Crystal Flores, Sadie Flores, and Abbie Ann Olivarez.
