Victor Lynn (Rezee) Martinez

March 2, 1973 ~ March 12, 2020

Victor Lynn Martinez (Rezee) was called home 10 days after his 47th birthday on March 12, 2020. He is the second child of Victor and Linda Martinez and is survived by his one and only handsome son, Diego Jacob Martinez, whom he absolutely adored; siblings Yvonne, Delfina/Ray Chavez, John T., and Bob/Chantal (Ruiz); three beautiful nieces, Adonia, Gianna and Amaree Martinez; and three handsome, well-behaved and smart nephews, Alejandro Curiel, Ray Ray and Xavier Chavez.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents Joe and Sally Herrera, Vincent Martinez, Grace Brimhall, his padrino Richard Herrera, Uncle Bob Martinez, cousins Travis Martinez, Caleb Herrera and two of his lifelong friends whom he considered his brothers, Lucius Valencia and Cory Burt.

Victor was always the life of the party, whether he was with his many friends or at a family function, and he was most definitely a night owl. He loved his large family deeply and was a protector of his siblings and son. He often expressed to those close to him how proud he was of the incredible young man that his son Diego has become. He was always good for some laughs and he was the definition of a great and true friend. Victor shared a lifelong love of the Denver Broncos with his father Victor Sr. and both brothers John and Bob; he then passed this love of the team on to his son Diego. Within the last 10 years or so, Victor also developed an affinity for NASCAR and would spend countless hours watching his favorite drivers and teams compete. 

He absolutely loved music and would often text people out of the blue to say “check this out” to share a new song he had found or an old jam he had stumbled across from way back. Victor would also oftentimes send people a funny video or clip and you were either laughing uncontrollably outloud or rolling your eyes at how ridiculous the video or clip might be.

Victor was very fortunate to be part of a very tight-knit group of incredibly close friends whom he considered his brothers and they were nothing short of his second and extended family.

A funeral Mass was celebrated March 18 at Joseph the Worker Catholic Church. Interment Mt. Calvary Catholic Cemetery when circumstances allow.
