Abelardo Martinez Jr., went by many names: Abel, Boy, and Bam Bam. However, his most important names where that of Son, Brother, Uncle, Father and Grandfather. As the son of Abelardo Martinez, Sr and Lucila Martinez, Boy, as family called him, was a dutiful son who as an adult often referred to our parents as his best friends. As a brother to Vicky, Rogelia, Alex and Gabby, Boy’s sense of protectiveness embraced us and made us feel safe. As an uncle, well, let us just say he was THEE favorite uncle! As a father to Jordan Martinez, he navigated through probably his most difficult role that ultimately led to him to become a supporter to his son. As a Grandpa to Lucy Rose Martinez, Boy flourished. Boy’s love for Lucy knew no boundary. She had him wrapped around her little finger and he enjoyed every minute of it. Even after his passing, Boy ensured that Lucy would have whatever her little heart desired.
We will miss all of Boy’s roles and the heartache will never dissipate. It gives all comfort that he joins his best friend, our mother, in heaven. Best friends reunited at last.
Love you Boy and may you rest in peace in mom’s embrace
