Marvin Lloyd Martinez, 74, of Alamosa, entered his eternal rest on Aug. 20, 2024. Born on Nov. 7, 1949, in Jaroso, Colo., Marvin was the beloved son of the late Salomon and Dolores Mascarenas Martinez.
Raised in Alamosa, Marvin cherished the time he spent with his family. After completing school, he explored various careers before discovering his true passion — working on cars, especially classic models. Marvin found joy in the mountains, where he loved fishing in the serene streams and lakes. He also excelled at playing pool and bowling, which were among his favorite pastimes. In his later years, Marvin appreciated the peace of solitude, but his generous heart was always ready to lend a helping hand to others.
Marvin’s warm spirit and kind nature will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his brother, Solomon (Judi) Martinez; his daughters, Katie Armijo, Stephanie DuVall, and Sherry (Sam Sr.) Sanchez; his grandchildren and great granddaughter.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Salomon and Dolores Mascarenas Martinez; his brother, Joe Arthur Martinez; and his sister, Mary Lu Martinez Coyne.
A service to honor Marvin's life will be held on Friday, Sept. 13, 2024, at 10 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church, 726 3rd St., Alamosa, Colo., with a reception to follow in the church hall.
The care of arrangements has been entrusted to Romero Funeral Home of Alamosa.
