Payton Lane Barbarito Martinez

Born on June 24th, 1998 in Round Rock, Texas, Payton was a beloved husband, son, brother, and friend. Throughout his life, Payton was known for his love of the Aggies, his humor, and his big heart.

Payton found joy in watching sports especially the Texas A&M Aggies & New York Yankees; fishing, traveling, and spending time with his friends and family. Payton especially loved watching Aggie football, traveling with his wife and family, talking about agriculture & farming, and being around the people he loved. His laughter, love, and unforgettable spirit touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Education was an important part of Payton’s life, shaping the person he was and the values he held, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture Economics from Texas A&M University, and furthering his education with a Master’s degree in Plant & Soil Science from Texas Tech University.

Payton leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories that will live on in the hearts of everyone.

Payton is survived by his wife, Bailey Martinez, and their fur babies Aggie & Mia, his parents Barbarito & Patty Martinez, his sister and brother in-law Laney & Marshall Oman. He is also survived by his maternal grandparents, Joe & Linda Mokry of Coupland, Texas, as well as several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Payton is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Guadalupe Yannis & Alvaro Martinez.

Though Payton may no longer walk beside us, his love will forever remain in our hearts. He will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and never forgotten.
