Donny Ray Martinez gained his wings after unexpectedly passing away on December 1, 2021, at age 40.
Donny joins his stepfather Don Olson in Heaven.
He is survived by many loving family members, including his beloved wife Graciela; three children: Angelina, Donny Ray, Jr., Destina Martinez; parents: Julian Trujillo, Debra Martinez; brothers: Ronnie Martinez, David Martinez, Julian “JuJu” Trujillo; sister LeeAna “Annie” Trujillo, also loving grandmothers: Josie Trujillo and Mary Santillan.
Donny was born to Julian Trujillo and Debra Martinez on January 9, 1981, in Pueblo, Colorado.
Donny saw the love of his life, Graciela Jo Martinez through a casual contact and from there on he would tell everyone he could, he was going to marry that girl. A few years later Donny and Graciela became two peas in a pod and moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico where they lived a flourishing life together. They married on January 1, 2016, and they had been inseparable ever since.
Donny was known as the life of the party. He would enter a room with a big smile and a welcoming laugh. He shared his happiness through singing which was something he loved to do no matter where he was. Donny would give the shirt off his back to help others and if you were blessed to be around him a little longer, he would give you even more.
Donny was passionate about “his sports”. His favorite teams are the Denver Broncos, New York Giants, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, WWE and many more. He enjoyed traveling, fishing and taking spontaneous road trips seeking out a new place to adventure in. He often traveled back and forth between New Mexico and Colorado to ensure he spent time with his family.
Donny gave his life to GOD in 2018 and from there on he was passionate about sharing the love of our Lord with others. He was part of New Life Church of God in Albuquerque.
Now that Donny has passed into the arms of our Lord, we should remind ourselves that while this is the end of Donny’s physical life on Earth, it’s the beginning of an eternal and beautiful journey for Donny.
Honorary Pallbearer will be Rick Sanders.
