In Loving Memory of Fernando Reyes Martinez December 8, 1986 – June 7, 2026
Fernando Reyes Martinez passed away unexpectedly on June 7, 2026, at the age of 39. Though his time with us was far too short, the love, laughter, and memories he shared with family and friends will remain forever in our hearts.
Known for his trademark mischievous grin, Fernando could brighten any room. That smile reflected his playful spirit and never failed to make others smile right along with him.
Fernando was a devoted father whose joy in life was his four children. He treasured every moment spent with them, whether it was attending family gatherings, working plumbing jobs, or simply enjoying time together. His love for his children was unconditional.
Fernando owned and operated Elite Plumbing. He took pride in his work and was willing to help others whenever he could. Outside of work, Fernando had a passion getting tattoos, exotic vehicles, low riders, motorcycles, buying jewelry, jerseys and baggie jeans. He loved taking trips to Vegas in his blue corvette, creating unforgettable experiences with family and friends, and making the most of every adventure. His warm personality, sense of humor, and generous spirit touched the lives of many.
Anyone who knew Fernando knew he also had a love for good food. He especially enjoyed “Chanally” cake from Whole Foods, homemade green chile chicken enchiladas, pizza, chips, Dr. Pepper and McDonald’s. One of his favorite treats was chocolate cake with chocolate frosting served in a bowl of milk—a unique favorite taught to him by his mom that always brought him comfort and happiness. These simple pleasures became part of the memories that those who loved him will forever cherish.
Fernando was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Fernando and Loretta Martinez. He is survived by his loving children, Fernando Junior, Isaiah, Kianna, and Damian; his sisters, Fernanda (spouse Julian), Maria (spouse Max), and Renae (spouse Javier); and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews who loved him dearly. He also leaves behind many extended family members and friends who will deeply miss his presence.
Fernando's legacy lives on through the family he cherished and the countless lives he touched with his kindness, strength, and love. While we mourn his passing, we celebrate a life filled with devotion to family, hard work, friendship, and unforgettable memories. He will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever carried in our hearts.
