Our angel, our love, Mario Martinez passed away Oct. 12, 2021. He was born in Tooele, Utah, Nov. 25, 1977, to Natalie (Martinez) Winkler.
Mario was such a kind and gentle soul with a BIG heart that would do anything for anyone. He was a quiet guy, but was so charismatic. He had a big, beautiful smile with those beautiful dimples that you couldn’t miss. Such a handsome guy, such a HUGE LOSS. We all miss you Mario so much, our hearts are broken.
Mario loved his children; they were his world. He leaves behind his children and four grandchildren: Bernice (Dustin), Little Mario, Monique, Brooke, and Christopher; mother and step-father Natalie and George Winkler; brothers Caesar (Vanessa), Ruben (Bubba) Trujillo; numerous nieces and nephews; and grandparents Olivama and Clarence Lucero (who helped raise him as their own). He also leaves behind his aunts and uncles Pamela (Felix) Lucero, Lori Martinez (Steve), Dee Dee (David) Garcia; and numerous cousins. He was preceded in death by his grandson Fernando Armes, grandpa Bernabe Martinez, grandma Lonnie Gifford, uncle Ray Martinez, aunt Debbie Rael, brother Anthony Graham, cousin Richard Martinez, along with Casper.
What gives us peace, is knowing that you are at peace and are so happy!! We also know that you are celebrating with Jesus, Grandma Nina, and all our family!! Dance with the angels Mario! WE LOVE AND MISS YOU DEARLY.
