My Heart swells as I think of of this beautiful human being. From the time I was very young man he was in my life as he and my brother Alfred were best friends.,we went fishing together and he was my coach when I played for the Waco Missions. He along with his brother Joe and Tito were like brothers. I left Texas as a young man and entered the Army, Got married and did not live in Waco. Every time I visited it was a great time seeing the family at the Waco Mission and at Church. Miss you my dear friend.

Johnny along with  his family and my own family were and still are the people who I looked up too. I have so many good memories. Remember fishing with his family  and our friends all night at the river. Also be cause of him and my brother I played ball for Waco High and played with and for him when he coached. Johnny, Joe and Bernie were just like brothers to me. My love for the Martinez family is as strong as for my own. I have a special memory of Johnnys dad. Rest in peace my dear dear friend.

Dear Joe, Bernie and family. So sorry to hear of Johnnies passing. He along with the rest of the family were like family to me. I will miss seeing him when I visit my family in Waco. God Bless you all at this difficult time.

Our prayers go out to the family and may you receive comfort knowing he has joined Lilly , the love of his lIfe.   

Dear Great Uncle Johnny, 
My dad said you love baseball, so do I! We’ll play catch and talk stories when we meet for the first time. I pray that you find peace in heaven as you did on earth. We will miss you until the day we reunite in the kingdom of heaven. 

To the family, our prayers and love go out to you. If there’s anything we can do please let us know. 

God Bless,
Lil Danny and Family

To the Children, Grandchildren, and all extended family of Mr. Martinez, my   most sincere condolences. It has been an honor to have known Johnny as a friend. His knowledge of history and current events, and smart wit, he was such a pleasure to be with. Thank you for your service to our country, and mostly for being a strong and brave soldier in Jesus Christ.  RIP, dear friend

Johnny Villafana Sr & family.

Martinez Family,

Sorry for your loss.  Johnny was a very special friend to us and we will miss him very much.  Had so many good times with him. May God Bless all of you.

Love,

My condolences to the family. May God give you peace, strength and comfort during this most difficult time. Uncle Johnny was a very funny guy! I loved hearing stories about when they were young. My mom and dad used to double date with him and Aunt Lillie.💜 Love y’all Marissa, Monica  and Marion!💜

My deepest sympathies and condolences to the Martinez Family. Mr. Martinez was one of the nicest men I have ever had a chance to be around and he had the Villarrial families' upmost respect. I will always remember him being a staple at the Waco Missions. May God bless his soul and his family at this time. 



Johnny was a respected friend for many  years  and our hearts are heavy..  May all the wonderful memories help the family during this difficult time.  

Marisa, Monica & Marion,

May the Lord comfort you at this most grievous time.  Your dad was a most kind and compassionate father.  He reminded me of your grandfather Ysaias.  I will never forget the time he opened his home to my daughter Andrea when she attended school there.  Both your dad and mom welcomed her.  They were so good to her.

May the God of comfort keep you three in His Love in the months ahead.  God bless you.

Love, Cousin Lydia

Marisa, Monica and Marion – I wanted to share a memory with y’all and to say that I am so sorry for your loss - I think I have known Mr. Martinez my whole life - he and Mrs. Lilly were always part of my mom and dad’s social and church circle.  I remember Mr. Martinez playing baseball for the Waco Missions on Sundays…after church of course.  The bleachers would always be filled with fans and family.  My mom and your mom sat together most Sundays and when your dad would come up to bat I would tell Mrs. Lilly and my mom that he looked just like the singer Perry Como and Mrs. Lilly would just smile at him in a way that always made him look back at her – that memory brings a genuine smile to my face today because now I realize that was the real look of love. I hope you find comfort in knowing that they are back together in heaven.  Love you, Margie Cintron


Condolence and Prayers be with the family during this difficult time.  Lord give those who mourn, peace, in the midst of their tears.
