Edward (Eddie) Roy Martinez
Edward (Eddie) Roy Martinez passed away due to Covid-19 in Denver, Colorado on June 12, 2020, at the age of 56. Born to Roberto and Donilia (Lila) Martinez on July 6, 1963 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He joined the U.S. Army out of High School and proudly served stateside and in Germany before being released from service. He returned to Cheyenne and began his life of evangelism and ministry work. Eddie lived in Colorado most of his adult life, becoming a faithful follower and humble servant to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He spread The Word to many and helped save many souls. He is survived by siblings - Dianna Sanchez of Cheyenne; Robert (Tracy) Martinez of Cheyenne; Debra (Oscar) Martinez of Colorado Springs, CO; Anthony Martinez of Los Lunas, NM; Adam (Sandra) of Oklahoma City, OK; David Martinez of Cheyenne; and Rose (Ray) Fresquez of Cheyenne. He loved, cherished, and cared for many nephews, nieces, cousins, aunts, uncles, and many others whom he prayed for on a daily basis. He was a wonderful brother, uncle, and friend to many. If you were sad, he would make you laugh. If you needed help, he was there for you. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. Eddie was a true disciple who never complained and always offered words of encouragement and an appropriate Bible quote. Father God reached down and said "you suffered enough" and took him home. He will be deeply missed and loved.
A memorial service will be held at Victory World Outreach (VWO), 5707 West 6th Avenue, Lakewood, Colorado on Saturday June 20, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. under the direction of Pastor Richard Marshall.
