Como hijo siempre te admire el gran amor que tenias por mis papás y como se lo demostrabas, el respeto que les tenias; como esposo te vi preocuparte porque Leo no batallara con nada, eras el super hombre de casa, como papá querías meter en una burbuja a Itzy para protegerla, como hermano fuiste el más cómplice y protector, como amigo siempre estabas ahí para ayudar a los demás, igualmente con toda la familia, siempre te admire, y como hermano te amo con todo mi ser, hoy me tengo que despedir de un hombre maravilloso, de alguien que siempre tenía una sonrisa para los demás, que aunque estuviéramos pasando un momento triste me arrancabas una sonrisa!!!! Pero sabes tu nunca vas a morir tu recuerdo y memoria será recordada día día por ese gran ser humano que eras!!!!
Te amo hermanito!!!!

30 Years of friendship…! I will remember you as you were… “always smiling and joking” 
Your sincere  friendship and honesty touched my life and you always will be in my memory and my heart.
You were an incredible Good father with my son Arturo and my best friend, my compadre!

Sending love, thoughts, and prayers to Martinez family during this tough time.
Sincerely,
Arturo Candelaria 


I'll always remember you. We were together all the way through high school and Engineering College, 35 years of friendship. I'm glad that at least We talked before this happened. I hope that we can also be friends in heaven. Rest in peace and wait for all of us in heaven.

My Condolences to family and friends of Sal Martinez.
Sal was always there to help his fellow agents in a time of need.  He will always be remembered by me as a great agent and friend.   I took this picture of Sal when he was helping me out changing a tire.  He always went out of his way to help.  Sal you will be missed 

I first met Sal when we worked together at Laredo North.  I remember him as a really cool down to earth kind of person.  Sal had some funny jokes, quotes and stories from back in days in El Paso.   I'd run into him, on occasion, at our station gym.  We'd talk about the possibility of transferring back to El Paso.  Last I remember was wishing him the best when he told me he had finally gotten a transfer.  He was very happy to go home.  Sal, you will always be remembered.  May you rest in peace brotha.  Honor First.  🇺🇸 ✝️

What a great guy Sal, always willing to help out with anything, no matter who caught what. We shared either the tail end of his Prosecutions detail or more than likely the end of mine, we were together for a while there, always Mr. Helpful, ready to lend a hand, always part of the solution.  Sal always had a kind word to say about others and he was very respectful, kind and considerate. I do not have any particular war story, just that day in and day out he was there making this tough job that we do more pleasant for everyone. We processed together, worked the line together and shared stories together. He will be missed. God rest your soul my friend and God bless your family, friends and loved ones in this difficult time.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.  Mt. 5:9

"Well done, my good and faithful servant...."  Mt. 25:23

Rest in Peace Sal, we will continue the fight.

I first met Sal when he transferred to Alamogordo.  We hit it off right away and became friends. He opened up his home to my family and I and for that I will always be grateful. I believe that his greatest quality, besides a good husband and father, was his work ethic. His work ethic was second to none, and I’m sure I am not the only that believes that. Sal you will be missed my friend.

Too  many  stories to tell with not enough space or time.  I worked with Sal in the line, ATV's and the Marine Unit. We laugh,  joke got in trouble and crash together.  We spent  several times in the cold, rain and hot summers.  

He was an excellent worker and better friend. 

I will continue to tell stories about my friend  Sal, with the people I meet along the way. 

I can write a book about the memories I have of you brother.  Regrettably I only have 2,000 characters to leave you this tribute and I will do my best.  

Your loss is a tremendous one.  They say God only takes the best and well, classmate, you were definitely the best among us.  Always such a great and positive energy, never had a bad thing to say about anyone or anything, always up for the challenges we faced at work, and through it all, that incredible, always present smile.  You will be missed more than words can say.  You are not now, nor ever forgotten brother.  

Until we meet again!

I met Sal in Laredo, Tx as he got here as a trainee.  Always a hard worker and a very positive outlook regardless of the task at hand.  I then had the honor of working with Sal on the Laredo Sector Marine Unit.  Many great memories working on boats... One of Sal's favorite quotes .. If you don't know how to tie knots tie ALOT!!  Rest in peace my brother we have your watch now.  

well, I see it but I still don't believe it.  We lost a great man, a great friend and a great family member.  I knew Sal "El Primo" from back home, El Paso, where we grew up closed through our families.  After time we lost track of each other, until we meet back again when I started working in Laredo, TX.  We worked for many years together (checkpoint, field, ATV, etc.) until he left back to El Paso, and it was always fun working with him.  He always had great stories and a positive attitude.  Definitely you will be missed, by your family and friends.  Rest In Peace "Primo" .         

Tío te vamos a extrañar mucho dejaste un gran vacío entre nosotros no pude despedirme de ti un gran hombre gran hermano hijo 🕊❤️

I never knew Sal to have a bad day, he always had a smile on his face. He always brightened my day. Sal was such a good person, he will truly be missed. My condolences to friends and family. God Bless. 

Tío siempre te voy a recordar cómo el hombre que daba los mejores consejos como el padre hijo y hermano excelente que fuiste como la personas que cambiaba el día con su sonrisa y su actitud positiva nos dejarás un enorme vacío aquí entre nosotros gracias por todo y tanto que diste entre nosotros 😮‍💨😞❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sal, it was such a joy to be around you, ever since the first time I went to the field with you as a journeyman in 2004.  I have nothing but happy memories working together in the ATV unit and  having the blessing of adding more memories while working with you again in El Paso.  Thank you for being such a phenomenal friend.  This is definitely not a good bye, but a see you later.  May you rest in peace and God bless your loved ones.

16 years we have known each other. I’ve never seen you without a smile on your face. No matter what...you always had something encouraging to say. Everyday I looked at the daily work schedule...when I saw your name on it... I knew it was going to be a great day. You were a like a brother and even though I am saddened by your passing, I will celebrate your life! I will see you on the other side 🥃🇺🇸

Yo crecí con Salvador  (chavita de cariño ) Durante mi  infancia y juventud siempre tuve  su cariño y protección . Fue mi hermano mayor , siempre lo sentí así y siempre se lo dije.  Lo entrañare  y  lo pensaré .  Dios te bendiga y nos bendiga siempre -    Adrian 

Sal (Chavita). A Good friend for over 18 years, you won’t be forgotten

I met Sal back in 2006 in Laredo, Texas. I’m happy to have known such a great friend and peer.   May you Rest In Peace my brother.
