Raul Martinez Obituary

Raul A. (Rauly) Martinez was born on May 19, 1955 in El Centro, Calif. to the late Marcelina Reyes and Raymond Martinez and God called him home on January 4, 2011. Rauly left behind his beloved son, Christopher Romero (Armida) and his lovely daughter, Sabrina Martinez (Juan). He will be greatly missed by his four grandkids, Victoria and Christian Romero, Isaac and Andrea Zaragoza. Rauly was also blessed with two loving sisters, Rosie Lopez (David), the late Florence Zapata and three brothers, Raymond (Josie), Rudy (Connie) and Ruben Martinez (Gloria). Rauly left behind nieces and nephews, and extended family that will miss him dearly. Rauly was an avid fan of the Saint Louis Rams and L.A. Dodgers. He was most known for his love and devotion to his grandkids. Rauly touched the lives and the hearts of all he came in contact with. He will be remembered for his kind heart and his wonderful sense of humor. Friends and family are welcome for visitation from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and rosary at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 12, 2011 at the Forest Lawn in Coachella. Friends and family are also invited to a Memorial Service which will be held at the same location on Thursday, January 13, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. followed by a burial at the Coachella Cemetery.

We are so sorry to hear about Rauly. We've known him alot of years and never seemed to tire of his humor. He delivered for Gloria and I at Verizon so we had the privilege of seeing him often . He always had a joke for us and always left us with a smile on our face when he left. He would say I have a joke for you and Gloria would say is it clean? He would say No it isn't and continue to tell it to us anyways. We will truly miss him. We know God is just cracking up with him right now.

Rauly, thank you for the love you showed my daughter and treating her like she was one of yours. She will never forget the things you did for her and Victoria like taking them to the Fair. Thank you for the loving warmth you've shown my family. We were very lucky to have you come into our lives. God is a lucky person to have you up there as one of his Angels.
