Max Martinez Obituary

Max Molina Martinez

Max Molina Martinez at 70 years of age entered Heaven on February 10, 2021. He was preceded in death by his beautiful wife Yolanda Martinez of 31 years. He was born May 2, 1950 to Felix Martinez and Genevieve Molina Martinez.

He was the fourth of seven siblings Anita Hernandez, Danny Martinez, Effie Martinez, Felix Martinez Jr., Ronald Martinez, and Nora Martinez. He was born and raised in the city of Oxnard, CA. He is survived by his biological children daughter Stephanie Martinez-Hernandez, husband Frank, son Max Martinez Jr., daughter Laura Martinez, husband Sal, and his stepchildren Monique Ballesteros, Eli Martinez, as well as raising his granddaughter Jocelyn Mata and great granddaughter Lunasol.

He worked as an upholsterer for many years after being taught to him by his father Felix. Max loved the lord and walked in his faith for over 30 years. He was always with his "HONEY" Yoli before her passing. They were inseparable and loved to go shopping, watching movies, and spending time with family.

We will forever cherish the relationships he held with his children, many grandchildren, and great grandchildren. We know you are our guardian angel in heaven watching over us and we will forever love and miss you.

"For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

2 Timothy 4:6-8
