Last request,

“Please don’t say that I gave up, just say that I gave in; don’t say I lost the battle, for it was God’s war to lose or win; please don’t say how good I was, but that I did my best; just say I tried to do what’s right, to give the most I could, not less.”

Salvo was preceded in Heaven by his father, Ruben C. Martinez; his mother, Maria Del Refugio Mayorga; his brother, Ruben Martinez Jr.; and his beloved sister, Rebecca Martinez.

He will be deeply and lovingly missed by his partner, Maria L. Munoz; his brother, Elvis Martinez; sister, Rachel Martinez Lyles; his children; nieces, nephews and other loving family members and dear friends.
