On December 8th, 2020, Heaven gained a new angel and Anthony Lee Martinez, (Antz), 42, earned his wings. He was born on January 26th, 1978 in Denver, Colorado. He is Survived by 3 children; Alyssa Garcia Martinez, Andrew Martinez and Nick Ornelas; his mother Lee Ann Martinez, sister Erica Alexis Martinez and brother-in-law Mark Tafoya, Niece Alanah Conner, and Nephew Armani Tafoya. In addition, Anthony had “family" for life in Donovan, Jessica, Deon, Janeen, Len, Kathrin and Mario. He was the Godfather to Beckie Martinez and Julian Garcia. He is also survived by Aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Anthony attended George Washington High School, followed by Abraham Lincoln High School (class of 1996), in Denver, Colorado. Anthony loved his children fiercely and was proud of the young adults they have become. Anthony loved with all his heart and was there to help anyone who needed it. He loved “gaming” and shared that interest first with his sister, and then his children. He was saddened that the accident prohibited him from this passion at the same level he had become accustomed to. Anthony loved watching the Broncos and was a fan for life. He loved to cook and read. He made friends everywhere he went and loved to be on the move, be it a walk to the store or a venture downtown. He often spent time with his children exploring the Denver Metro area and all the cultural activities. He was a fan of the Simpsons show since it began in 1989 and shared this with his sister from a young age and it became an obsession for her children as well as his. Movies were a favorite pastime for him to share with his children. Some of his favorites included Dumb and Dumber and Roger Rabbit. Anthony was an avid comic book reader and he preferred Marvel over the DC Universe. Anthony’s love for his children is the memory we will always remember. A quote he shared and felt with all his heart “When the day arrives when there are no more tomorrows for me, I want my children to know and never forget that they were, are, and always will be deeply loved by me.” May you have peace in your heart and soul Anthony! We will miss you forever, and know that you are with us in spirit. Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us everyday, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed, and very dear.
