Judge Philip Ray Martinez

Phill was a true blessing to know. He was also the image of a gentleman. Praying for the family. Fr. Bob Kobe

Phil was one of my favorite people....RIP dear friend

When I interned for Judge Martinez he was astonished to learn that as an El Paso native I had never been to Chico’s Tacos and he quickly remedied that. He lead by example, and what a wonderful example that was and will continue on through all that he mentored.

Our deepest condolences, lo sentimos muchísimo de todo corazón. He
had been a friend for many yrs. to my son Sergio & a student at Ross MS
for my husband, Coach Sergio Guerrero. He was one of the finest friends
and would ask for both my son & my husband when I saw him. He used
to ask me to be the keynoter for the new citizens in our USA. I am so so
sorry for your loss. Death is our shadow and we do not know the time or
place it will take us. I feel too soon...

To the Martinez family: Thank you for sharing Philip’s Rosary and Funeral Mass virtually on Facebook Live. Lauren, your eulogy was wonderful in honoring your father. It brought smiles to my face, and yes, also tears to my eyes. Your dad is very proud of both you and your sister. My best to your mom.
With remembrance from the old days - his childhood friend and classmate.

My sincere condolences to the family of Phillip Martinez. I went to school with him from the 6th to 9th grades at Ross Jr. High. He was a dear friend and classmate who even then, exhibited great character and heart. This is a great loss for El Paso and I pray that our Good Lord keeps Phillip in his loving hands and gives his family strength and grace. Vaya con Dios old friend.

Judge Martinez did my Harvard interview in the early '90s. I was very nervous and not sure that I would fit in at an Ivy League school. Phil and I had a wonderful conversation that was inspirational and encouraging. Our paths crossed again when I began doing interviews as a Harvard alumnus, and I was grateful for his friendship. I saw firsthand the countless hours and effort Judge Martinez gave to support our young people in El Paso. May he rest in eternal peace.

Rest in peace Ray. I never say goodbye, always until I see you again. I will see you when I see you my friend. God Bless you and your family.
