Joseph Daniel Martinez

The Lord took Joseph home on June 12th, 2023, following a long illness & complications with his heart.
Joseph was preceded in death by Shari the mother of his one and only child. His mother Flora Martinez and three brothers Ricky, Cecil & Anthony.  He is survived by his father Cecilio Martinez, One daughter Ashley Martinez, a grandson Dominic Moreno, two granddaughters Avianna and Aliah Garcia. A special Nephew Anthony Romero and Sister-in-law Claudia Gallegos Martinez. Three special primos Frank, Richard (David) Baca and Paul Aragon and all his Baca primos.  Joseph loved New Mexico music & a good Matanza.

Joseph grew up in the South Valley. He was a huge supporter of State Representative Art De la Cruz.
Joseph started his company "Martinez Earthworks" and later worked with Bernalillo County and retired with the City's Water Utility Authority.

He was a diligent worker and talented in restoring old cars. His love of Harley Davidsons began at a Very young age as he was a collector of them. Joseph belonged to the 'Camaradas car club of Burque'. He had a '49 3100 Panel truck and a '40 Chevy deluxe coupe and was working on a '60's Falcon pickup.

Joseph was a diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan. He would say, "It’s All About the Black and Yellow".
Joseph first and foremost was a Child of God and a believer of our Lord & savior Jesus Christ.
