Marcial Martinez was born to Luis and Maria Castillo de Martinez on July 27, 1952 in Hidalgo, Mexico. As the fifth child of ten siblings Marcial was one of six boys and had 4 sisters. Soon after being born his family moved to Hermosillo, Sonora where he would attend school at the University of Sonora. During that time Marcial would find a girlfriend that would end up being his soul mate, Norma Martinez, at the age of 17. Marcial would end up moving to Los Angeles, California after visiting Norma on a Christmas vacation. They would then get married in 1975 while Marcial was going to school in order to perfect his English.
After a few years in Los Angeles they would once again move but this time it was to Houston, Texas. Marcial then attended University of Houston and would enter into what would turn out to be a career in the engineering field. Marcial and Norma were blessed with two children Julio and Marcy Martinez. In early 2002 Marcial would make the biggest decision of his life by becoming a Christian. Though Marcial wasn't one to speak too much about the word, he conducted himself in a manner that illustrated that he was a man of God loving others the way we are all instructed to as Christians. He was a man who loved to have fun, the classic jokester, not only with friends, family and coworkers, but also with complete strangers.
Marcial was one of those few people you could call a friend. You could call him in the middle of the night and he would wake up and help in any way possible. He was the type of man that instilled love and kindness in every person he came into contact with. He loved spending time with his family. He loved to be outdoors and playing any sport. Marcial truly left this world a better place after being an agent of love during his short time with us. A true inspiration to the many who were blessed to meet him. Though he has gone to be with God, the father, he has left a void but in all of our hearts as he watches over us from heaven.
