Bartolo Dennis Martinez
June 25, 1997 – August 23, 2025
Bartolo Dennis Martinez, affectionately known as Dennis, passed away peacefully at his home on August 23, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Born on June 25, 1997, Dennis faced life's challenges with unwavering strength, resilience, and courage, always drawing comfort and inspiration from the love of his family, which was at the center of his life.
Dennis especially cherished his nieces and nephews, whom he adored as if they were his own children. He loved spending time with them-playing video games, talking about sports, and sharing laughter and joy. Even as the youngest sibling, Dennis naturally took on a protective role, always looking out for those he loved and offering guidance and support whenever it was needed.
He is survived by his parents, Maria and Bartolo Martinez; his sister, Amanda (Jose Perez) and their children, Jose and Mateo; his brother, Uriel (Anna Brena) and their children, Tianna, Nathan, and Uriel Jr.; his grandparents, Graciela and Felipe Castillo, and Ignacia Martinez; as well as aunts, uncles, and cousins, all of whom will forever carry his memory in their hearts. Dennis is preceded in death by his grandfather, Juan Martinez; his uncle Ignacio Martinez; his aunt Celia Martinez and beloved niece, Mia Perez, whose memory he cherished deeply.
A rosary will be prayed followed by visitation on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. at Herrington / Land of Memory Funeral Home. A funeral mass will be held at 1:00 P.M. Thursday, August 28, 2025, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Burial will follow at Land of Memory Cemetery. Services are under the direction of Herrington / Land of Memory Funeral Home.
Though he faced great challenges, Dennis did so with a brave heart and a spirit that uplifted everyone around him. He will be remembered for his courage, his loving heart, and the remarkable example he set in facing life's trials with dignity and grace. His legacy is one of love, courage, and resilience-a reminder to all of us to treasure the time spent with family, to love deeply, and to face life with bravery.
Pallbearers will be Uriel Martinez, Jose Perez, Angel Cabrera, Hunberto Martinez, Miguel Martinez, and Jerry Martinez.

Dennis tuvo un carino muy especial por sus sobrinas y sobrinos, a quienes adoraba como si fueran sus propios hijos.

Aunque enfrento grandes desafios, Dennis lo hizo con un corazon valiente y un espiritu que elevaba a todos a su alrededor. Sera recordado por su valentia, su corazon amoroso y el ejemplo admirable que dejo al enfrentar las pruebas de la vida con dignidad y gracia. Su legado es de amor, coraje y resiliencia-un recordatorio para todos nosotros de atesorar el tiempo con la familia, amar profundamente y enfrentar la vida con valentia.
