Emery came into his life in November of 2006 and from that moment on she was the light of his life.

Even though he worked for Stater’s grocery for many years, his real claim to fame was being a “gold digger.” He passed from this life while working in Nevada for a gold mine, KinRoss.

“Michael brought such an amazing aura of infectious energy. The kind of energy that excited people, the kind of energy that people needed when they were down. He was truly someone used by God to bless the lives of others… a goofy laughter, toothy smile, and infectious personality.”

He is survived by his daughter, Emery Martinez and his parents, Rock and Kathy Martinez. He is also survived by brothers Khristopher and wife, Nichole; Charles and wife, Michelle; and his sister, Elizabeth and husband, Willian. He is also survived by five nieces and two nephews.
