Pete Guzman Martinez Obituary

Pete Guzman Martinez

Corpus Christi, TX

Our dear loved one, Pete Guzman Martinez, age 67, passed onto his eternal rest on Sunday, April 23, 2017. Though this is a time of great sadness, we find comfort in the unforgettable memories he left alive in each one of us. Pete was very passionate about life and lived his life to the fullest every day. We often hear the phrase, "Carpe Diem - Seize The Day!" He lived out this motto daily. He was known for keeping himself busy, working on projects around his home or helping other family members. He always had a smile on his face, a trip to talk about, a lesson to tell about history, a dance move to show off, and was always a sharp-dressed man. Pete enjoyed sharing stories about his children. He shared stories about their life, their work, home, grandchildren, and accomplishments. He shared his pride and love for them boldly. Pete also shared the passionate love he felt for his beloved wife, Cindy Trevino. He expressed how blessed he was to be able to share this lifetime with such a beautiful love by his side. Pete and Cindy had a deep love for one another that was visible from across the room. No words were needed to describe the deep connection they shared with one another.

Pete is survived by his beloved wife, Cindy Trevino; two sons, Gabriel Martinez (Mila) and Lance Martinez (Whitney); one daughter, Patricia Ann Livas (Oscar Pena); stepchildren including, Jimmy Trevino, daughter-in-law, Selena Trevino, Alexis Trevino, Paul Trevino, and Victoria Trevino-Ornelas (Gabriel); numerous grandchildren whom he loved very much; sister, Delfa Galvan (Raul) and Rosita Gutierrez; mother, Cruzita G. Martinez; numerous nieces and nephews whom he shared a loving and close relationship with, and many extended family members. Pete knew no stranger. He will be missed by many. He was preceded in death by his father, Pedro G. Martinez and his brother, Michael G. Martinez.

Visitation will be at Memory Gardens Funeral Home on Sunday, April 30, 2017 from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm with a Talk 7:00 p.m. that same evening. Services will resume at Memory Gardens Funeral Home on Monday, May 1, 2017 with a Talk at 2:00 p.m. Interment will follow at Memory Gardens Cemetery.

only knew Pete for a short time but he certainly was a very pleasant and outgoing person. He also seemed to be in good health. That is why his death has been such a shock. A good man. He will be missed.

My heart aches with lots of sorrow because we know that a great man is no longer with us. We all have our stories I remember the first time you introduced me to Cindy. The first thing you told her "Now this one is really my cousin" I can just imagine the stories behind that statement I knew then Cindy was special to you. You will be missed
