Martin Duque Obituary
"He was a very funny kid, outgoing and sometimes really quiet," his brother Miguel wrote on a GoFundMe page. "He was sweet and caring and loved by all his family. Most of all, he was my baby brother."
More details appear at the Sun-Sentinel and the Miami Herald.
Legacy mourns all those who died at Stoneman Douglas.

My heart and prayers go out to the family of Martin. Such a tragic loss of life taken so young. I pray for peace in your hearts, healing for your souls, mercy for the days that seem unbearably difficult and for love to surround you in the moments when you feel overwhelmed with sadness. Just breath, take one day at a time ... embrace the memories. (Jeremiah 29:11) Pray for a new tomorrow when life will not be burdened with tragedies such as this but all will live in peaceful unity.

Jehová está al tanto de los días de los exentos de falta, y la mismísima herencia de ellos continuará aun hasta tiempo indefinido. (Salmos 37)
God will not forget nor abandon your family. This terrible tragedy is not from Him. He will turn the tears of sadness into tears of joy when all our loved ones return in the ressurection to a peaceful earth . May he give you comfort and courage during this most tragic and deeply sad time. May the love of all of those thinking of you strengthen you.

I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one, so young, not to have gotten to experience what life would have brought them. Their right to grow up, graduate, college, marriage, children, just to be able to live, taken in a selfish act of violence. It's a horrible tragedy. Just please keep in your hearts, where your loved one is now, there is no anger, violence, just love and peace. You will see them again, they will always be with you. Prayers for all of the Families, that have been dealt this selfish injustice.

Martin,
I only know of you through this tragedy. My heart goes out to you, your family, and your friends. May you rest Peacefully at God's side now, and may your families & friends receive the Blessing of peace and strength to get through this, the most difficult time in their lives right now, knowing that in the days and weeks ahead, although much too difficult to see now, the pain will always be there, but life will get a little bit easier for them, with support, and most of all, with love. I'm so sorry this had to happen to all of you. These are my own personal thoughts and words from my heart, and I will be placing these words on each of the pages of the 17 lives that were lost.
Rest Peacefully, Martin.
Respectfully, Lisa Evans
