Loawee, you will always be very important to me. You’re a wonderful nephew a Cuddles to Misty and good father to my nieces and nephews. We’ve always had the best times together filled with lots of love and laughter. 
You will forever be our hearts. Love You❤️


Dear Loawie/ stepdad/ DAD 
You always raised us to have confidence and to take pride in who we are. You taught us how to keep it real. You always made sure we had each other’s back. I know if anything went south you were right by our side to help us pick up the pieces and even make fun of us when we messed up. We always went through life laughing, even through the pain, thank you for teaching me that life is meant to be lived and to have fun and crack jokes all along the way. You always saw the best in us and wanted us to strive to be the best we can, I’m glad we all made you proud. Our last conversation I had with you just a week before you passed you told me you were going to make sure to be at the hospital the second I went into labor with Atlas and I’m so lucky I got to experience your soft loving father side. You always gave the best big hugs. You had a heart of gold, always making sure all of your loved ones were taken care of, no matter what you were going through. You were someone that I knew I had by my side and if anyone messed with me you were going to set them straight. I miss you so much and love you more, I hear your laugh in my head and that’s what I remember and it gives me a sense of hope because I know you want us all to be strong, to laugh and enjoy life. Atlas will always know the legend his grandpa Loawie is. 

Loawee

You were the first one to welcome me into the family with open arms some 27 years ago.... 
I will never forget that and I will never forget your unconditional love that you had for everyone in the family. 

I’ll miss hearing your voice.. seeing your smile and listening to your infectious laugh.

We miss you dearly
May god bless you..
Love you always and forever
Melissa Arreola-Le Roy

Our blessed Nephew and Godson Loawee, will always be in our hearts and we  will never forget him.  Loawee always had a  big smile on his face too when we saw him.    Loawee always called us Tia Nay and Uncle Steve.  Steve and I will never forget how Loawee accepted Steve into our  family and immediately started calling him Uncle Steve with that big smile on his face.  Loawee had a kind heart and was so proud of all of his children.  Loawee had a big heart too and was always doing what he could  to help others.  Our nephew Loawee will always be remembered in our hearts, our thoughts and in our prayers.  We keep the faith and know we will see Loawee again someday and be reunited with him.    We love you Loawee and you will be missed.
“Tia  Nay and Uncle Steve”

Loa! I still can’t believe it. My heart is still heavy and heavy for the family. You are so missed and so loved. I’m grateful I made the decision to go to the lake that day because I got to spend those last moments with you and everyone. You will always be remembered and never forgotten. Your legacy will live on forever. Until i see you again cousin! I love you loa! 

My dearest cousin Loawee, I still can't believe its been a month since your unexpected passing.. You will be truly missed and never forgotten.  I will never forget the fun crazy times we had together from me taking you to your 1st Dodger game when you were 12 and almost being kicked out for throwing peanuts down to the level below.  Also, going to Laker games and getting crazy when Lakers had a big win.  It was fun showing you how to play roulette in Vegas for you very first time.. There are just so many great memories of you that I will never forget.  You will always live on in all our hearts and til we meet again Love you, Rich (WIDDY)........

I met Robert st the gym Reps for Life and I would see him often and it wasn't until last year we finally introduced ourselves to each other and he was a totally cool guy . I remember the last time I saw him in the gym , I told him I saw him in a video on Instagram of him passing out on a roller-coaster and we just laughed  .. Man I'm gonna miss him in here and I was just talking to another guy in here and we are all gonna miss him along with Eric the owner here .. There is a picture of him on the wall here . I hope and pray that the family heals from this loss and may GOD give you the strength to help you get thru the rest of this year . GOD bless your family and may we see him again on the other side ... 

I remember meeting Robert for the first time in Vegas when I randomly ran in to my beautiful cousin, Misty. I remember his smile then and every time I saw him since. He always had a smile, loved talking about the Lakers and his Raiders. My heart hurts for his family, especially not being able to say ‘goodbye’. May all of your hearts be filled with love and comforted in knowing he is watching over every single one of you every single day.
Love,
Oria Jacobs

I met Loawie when I was 3 years old. I don’t remember a time before him. Throughout the years he was there for every birthday every graduation, my first car, first home. He cheered me on every step of the way and always made sure I knew he was proud of me. As I got older I realized that he didn’t have to be. He didn’t have any obligation to be there for me or my sister Jaymee. But he did because that’s the type of man he was. It takes a special man to accept and love another mans child as his own. He was selfless to have opened his heart to me and treat me like a daughter. He made me who I am and I will always love him. I can only be happy knowing that he will live through all of us and he is in a better place smiling down on each and every one of us. 
I love you forever❤️❤️

My Cuddles, this is the hardest thing I ever had to go through, I can’t believe that this is real! I still think your going to walk through the front door and hear your voice! You are truly one of a kind and there will never be another Loawee..everything about you made you different and I love every little bit..I MISS YOU SO MUCH. You made me who I am today, sometimes I even catch myself talking and acting like you! You will always and forever live in my heart and soul...you are always going to be my protector, we feel you all around us..every sign, every street, every place person and thing reminds me of you!! 
You are the best Father to all your kids, you even took in Jaymee and Marissa as your own. You are the definition of a real man! You helped make them into the wonderful woman they are today. You have raised respectful and responsible young adults. Your heart lives in each one of them! I will do my best to continue and raise the little ones and make you proud because you live in me..so the kids better watch out😂! 
Thank you for giving me 20 years of your life! My peace is knowing you Are with our father God now with no more pain no more suffering no more sadness. Your living in your mansion of gold now with your dad and all our loved ones looking down on us!
I will see you again...I will always and forever Love you till the day I die💙I love you Loa until we meet again...

Dear Robert (Loawie)
I’ve known you for 20 years and in those years I experienced your huge laughter, Love, heartbreak, tears and your enormously generous heart. Thank you for giving me my beautiful Nieces and handsome nephews whom which I will help guide and be there for. There are so many great memories that we’ve shared as a family and personal ones that will be cherished. You will be missed dearly. May you rest in Power my brother.
God Bless you, 
Love, Irma

“We who are still in the living will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air”  1 Thessalonians 4:17

I would like to start off by saying, Loawee/ aka BOSS , was a good Friend, Father, and a good Soul. We all are going to miss him. I would like to give my condolences to his family and his kids. May you RIP, BOSS🙏🏻        Sincerely, Sugar and Mariah 

My dad was the best dad I could think of. The last day I was with my dad we went to k1speed and when we where done we went to a fancy restaurant and it was the best food. After we were done eating we went  shopping for clothes and shoes. When he took us home I gave him 3 hugs and a kiss. I will remember the last day I was with him for my hole life. Love dad from Evan ❤️

Rest In Peace  I DIDNT know you so much but the few times we spoke you were so kind and patient .  I pray for your family 

I knew Robert for a short period of time but within that time I realize that he was one of a kind. Super honest down to earth.  We had a few things in common, we both like to work out and that’s how we clicked. He always wanted to be active at the gym no matter what. My respects to him and his family. Thank you to Robert Junior for introducing me to your dad he was great guy. I’m truly sorry for your loss. 

As the days get closer it seems so unreal. Gonna miss your big smile. The way you said my name Elvi. All the growing up we did as teenagers and then our kids growing up together. Me and Rich with the first granddaughter , Daisy. You and Yome with the second granddaughter, Selena(s). Mitre and Francis with the third, Linda.  Then the many more after them. Never goodbye but see you again. Until we meet again. 

The first time I met Robert--he was a much younger man then--I was immediately struck by that great smile of his, a welcoming smile that made you feel as if we had been close friends for many years.
	His presence could be formidable and yet he exuded a sweetness and caring for the other that immediately put you at ease. He was and will always be in my mind a person who possessed the special grace that we often refer to as the human touch.
	Robert’s life had its rocky moments but he always struggled and succeeded in rising above them. Above all, it was his family that helped him to over come life’s challenges. I recall one particular moment when he was making a decision about his health and life. He said to me, "Dr. B,I want to do this, not for me but for my family.”  No man loved his family more.  No man was prepared to sacrifice more for it.  If words can summarize a person’s life, then Robert was above all a family man.
	Robert is at peace, out of harm’s way and in the Hands of a Loving God. He will supervise his family every day, smiling down on them from Heaven. Audie, please know that Robert will always be with you. Let his smile give you strength each day to carry on for the family, consoling yourself that you raised a good son, a loving son and a son whose first and last thought was always for his family. 
	God bless you,
	Dr.B 


This is my first time writing anything like this. Bossman, you're not just my "regular customer". You had been very nice, patient, friendly and respectful everytime you came to my work place. You were always very caring and loving towards your big family it always made my heart warm to see such loving family like yours. And you take care of us too. Servers and chefs. 

My heart sank when my coworker told me that you're gone. I couldnt believe my ears I asked her to send me the whole first name, last name and even the picture to make sure it was really you. 
You'll be missed. I'm nobody, not even part of your family  but I was lucky to have met a nice person like you. 

Deep condolences to the family that is left. It's very unexpected but I believe God must have better plan for Bossman. 

Wow. I don’t even know how or where to start. Daddy, I just love you so much. I can’t thank you and mom enough for raising my siblings and I to be the most strong, humble, goofy, loving,  respectful, caring people we are. As my heart aches for your presence and we mourn for you dad, I’ll always protect the family. I still feel like you’re going to walk in the front door any second, it’s so unreal. Until we meet again, I’ll see you one day. You better be ready!! I can’t wait to give you the biggest hug ❤️ Love your daughter, “Jaybomb55”

Dang Loa,. you have left us 😔, you went from becoming my friend at Serrano to becoming a close friend to becoming my brother in law.. there’s so many memories to talk about we could have a Netflix series. From our families coming together, to you picking up on our Spanish , onto your dark times of you losing your dad and your good cousin Jesse. I promised you I would take care of you then and you later took care of me in return unlimited.  We grew up and became so strong together you and I knew.
 Some of the many things I seen my brother do is , he easily funded over 30 funerals out of the kindness of his heart. He funded many weddings and birthday gatherings for the less fortunate and most importantly he prayed w me , he prayed for forgiveness to god for many mistakes n wrong doings in Jesus name.. I am his witness.. don’t worry about your boys I got em.. I got my eye on your girls too.. (and now I can’t stop crying) ,, I love you Loa you always knew it💙 thank you for the rollercoaster ride of life you took me on EVERYTHING COUNTS👊🏽

Sending  my  Condolences out to ' Al ' Alfonso & The Martinez Family  ♡  Lauwee was always  the Life of the party ! He always had a Smile  on his face ready for an adventure the day☀️ or night 🌙 had instore.  I always had a great time with him and his family and Luie & lily.  I know  he was taken to soon. But God only  calls for the Best to his heavenly home.  May you rest in paradise 🙏 and spread your new  Heavenly Wings over your  loved one's you had to leave behind to protect and give them  comfort in this time of  Grievance.  I pray  God Brings Peace to his loved one's with broken 💔 that he  Mend their hearts 💕  in time  to find unity & peace Amen 🙏

My condolences go out to his mother and the family.



To Loawee's Family., words alone cannot express the loss of a great Son, a Brother, a Father. Robert was a great Tio and a  mentor to his nephews. On many occasions I would talk to him in Redlands when he would come to see his nephews and cousins play baseball, it would be so hot outside too, but Loawee was there for his family, he loved to support his younger members of his Family. I feel many of you younger family members looked up to Loawee. Let me tell you, Loawee loved you all, he was a man that stood up for those he loved, he looked like a real mean guy to me, but deep down inside, he was the coolest nicest person I could ever meet. 
My Bro, Alfonso, Audie and Family.., I am praying for you all.
In Jesus name, I pray that Jesus will bring you all peace and comfort into your lives, the Bible tells us to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Take comfort in knowing Loawee is in paradise, though his body has passed, his spirit is very much alive. He has went home to his new residence-"Heaven"
With my deepest love and condolences,  Bobby
God bless you all. 😇❤❤

One of the sweetest guys I've ever known. The love he had for his family will carry on til the end of time. I'm just grateful that I had the opportunity to call him friend. My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Robert Vincent Martinez.

Loawee as you leave this world with no goodbyes, my heart aches, this all seems so unreal I wish it was all a dream. You will forever be missed and in our hearts forever. You were a big part of my family we all loved you as one of us.I will forever cherish all the memories we made over the years.Thank you for being the best father you can be to our son, I will continue to watch over him and I knw you will to you will forever be his guardian angel, we love and miss you til we meet again save us a spot next to you in heaven ...

My first memory of robert was from back at the old Mi Cocina him and his wife and kids came in for late dinner and there was a car that pulled up and parked across the street facing our restaurant my mom and I were Thinking that it was shady because we were the only business open that late on our side of the complex and we could see they were smoking in their car waiting so after 20 minutes my mom got scared thinking they  were there to rob us because it was just her and I so I went Up to their table and said do you mind if we walk out together when you all are ready to leave because the cooks and dishwashers all left and it’s just me and my mom here and there’s some men parked in the dark so he quickly got up and his son robert jr followed his dad outside And they stood outside of our front door and stared at the guys and nodded at them like what so I guess They got intimidated because they quickly started up their car and left lol he opened the door and said we will wait for you ladies to lock up and get into your cars and we will leave together that’s the night He wasn’t just a customer he was our hero and since that day I hold Him close in my heart ❤️ thank you robert for protecting us from whatever was suppose to go down that night may our father up in heaven hold you close and I’m sure my mom will give you a big hug and remember you as our hero from that night 🙏🏼

Son, no words can express what I am feeling today and will be feeling everyday for the rest of my life as long as I am here without you. I find comfort in knowing that you are with your Tuut and your Dad. Those were two big pieces that were missing from your life. My heart goes out to your children who I will do my best to comfort. Until I can wrap my arms around you again Son, you will be forever missed. I Love You Way Up To The Sky Where I Can't Touch 💔❤️

Soooo much I could say it's just still to unreal.  You were a protector,  bigger than this life, you were my family.  Your generosity, your love for your family was sooooo great. I'm honored that I share your blood but more to have shared a piece of your life. I love you cousin and your memory lives within me and my family always.  Your Big cousin Angie

Thank you friend for 10 plus years of friendship and the memories and vacations  we shared! (This picture was sometime in 2000)Thank you for allowing me to be present for every family function, and treated us like family! You will forever be missed, and Friday Nights  will never be the same! Love Peaches🙏💙

So shocked to hear of your passing homie! It’s been since junior high since I seen or spoken to you but I remember you were always good for a laugh bro! Rest in Paradise big homie OG!

Sending our deepest condolences 🙏. Prayers for the family. Dance with  the Angels. Your mark has been left. 

Loawies love for his grandchildren was endless. He was such a loving grandpa, with the biggest heart. It was evident. I will forever envision the smile on his his face every time he would see Mylah. He would not let go of her. She was always soo peaceful in his arms. We love you Loawie. You’re forever in our hearts. May you Rest In Peace. I know you’ll forever be Mylah’s guardian angel.

Mi más sentido pésame fuerzas para toda la familia desde escuinapa, Sinaloa un abrazo para todos 

When Robert went to Serrano he would give me card so I could play bingo. At the first Casino that built. I was the custodian a Serrano.
