Michael Martinez

Michael Martinez was the best son, brother, and uncle ever. Mike was the second born in a family of 4 children. When my dad found out my mom was pregnant with another boy, he was so happy because he was going to have his 2 boys, Eric and Mike. When Eric and Mike were small they were very close, they were just 14months apart. When they were toddlers, my mom would take Eric to work and after would buy him a toy and Eric would say “y para mi pelón mami” (and for my baldy mommy). When it was Mikes turn to go to work and my mom would buy him something, Mike would say “y llelli mami” (and Eric mommy). Mike grew up to be the most amazing man ever. If you know mike, then you know lalo. Mike was Lalo’s second father. He took him to every single baseball practice and game, people would think that Mike was Lalo’s father. He was a devoted son as well. He always made sure my parents were good and healthy. Mike loved playing with his niece Alenna, he taught her how to use a laptop at just 3yrs old. Alenna and mike would always take his dog, Mamba for a walk every time Alenna would ask mike. Mike loved gardening and he saw that Alenna loved eating his tomatoes so he planted her own plants of cherry tomatoes so she can pick and eat them everyday. When his sister Jenny was pregnant with her children, Mike always was so attentive. He knew she craved fruit in her pregnancies and would call her and tell her “I’m taking you the fruit you like, I’ll be there right now.” When Jenny’s son was born, Jayce, Mike would get home from work and shower fast so he could carry him and lay him on his stomach that he would call “the water bed.” They would spend hours sleeping like that. Mike was like a big brother to everyone that he met. He also coached a baseball travel team. Each kid on that team enjoyed being around Michael. He would check up on them and care about there well being. He will be missed by many people. His presence was always known and his kind heart will always be remembered. Mike was loved by everyone he met and Mike loved them back. He was the heart and rock of his family. Mike will be unforgettable and irreplaceable.
