Louis Martinez Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Louis was a truck driver; he hauled cattle for over 55 years. He was a dedicated employee of the auction barn here in Gonzales, and he was an exemplary provider for his family. He worked hard to give them the best of everything.
As a hobby, Louis enjoyed gardening and took pride in his harvests. He adored the company of his dogs. His children have fond memories of him taking them to Astro World in Houston every summer, and trips to Lake Bastrop where they camped and barbequed. Louis collected Stetson hats and boots, and he always dressed up for the right occasions. He favored a good steak dinner and enjoyed the time he had with family and friends. His efforts to provide and love his family did not go unnoticed, and his family remembers the joy he brought into their lives.
Louis is survived by his children Lisa Salinas, Lucy Casares (Sastones), Lillian Martinez and Joseph Martinez (Tiffany), his siblings Margaret Seitz, Tommie Martinez, George Martinez, Robert Martinez, and Raymond Martinez, along with his 11 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild.
He is preceded in death by his parents Juanita and Francisco Martinez, his brothers Arturo Martinez, Carlos Martinez, Anselmo Martinez and Francisco Martinez, his grandson Nolan Casares and his life partner Santos Juarez.
