Jose Martinez Obituary
Aug 14, 1971 - Sept 6, 2025
Jose V. Martinez, 54, of Monroe, beloved husband of Deborah (White) Martinez, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, September 6, 2025.
Born in Guayama, Puerto Rico on August 14, 1971, he was the cherished son of Aida Morales and the late Jose V. Martinez. Jose was a proud graduate of Post University and built a life marked by dedication and perseverance.
For 22 years, Jose worked at Hoya Vision, where he was admired for his loyalty, strong work ethic, and professionalism. After retiring from Hoya, he joined his family's accounting business, where he continued to pour his talents and energy into serving others. From a young age, Jose worked tirelessly to help provide for his family, and throughout his life he was known for his sense of responsibility, resilience, and devotion to those he loved.
Jose will be remembered for his kind spirit, unwavering commitment to family, and the joy he found in life's simple moments. He was always there for friends and family, never missing a chance to support them, celebrate them, or capture their milestones. With camera in hand, he recorded countless memories, leaving behind not just his presence but also the gift of preserving the moments that mattered most.
Above all, Jose was most proud of being a devoted husband and a loving father.
In addition to his devoted wife, Debbie, and his mother, Aida, Jose will be deeply missed by his two sons, Alexander and Lorenzo; his brothers, James Martinez (Donna) and Carlos Martinez; and his sister, Eliza Morales. He is also survived by his in-laws, Steven and Rosanne White; and by many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
He was predeceased by his beloved niece, Angelica DeFreitas.
The family will receive friends at the Cornell Memorial Home, 247 White Street, Danbury, on Monday, September 15th, between the hours of 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
A graveside service will take place on Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. in Wooster Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Jose's memory may be made to support the future education of his sons. https://go.fidelity.com/f5jqs5 and https://go.fidelity.com/0u697p
