Chad Alan Martinez was 24 years old when he had passed away and went into the arms of Jesus. He was born to his father, Jerry Martinez and mother, Susan Cartwright, and loved greatly by step-mother Sammye Martinez, and step-father Tommy Cartwright. Chad was a great person, with such a good spirit, that had many people that loved him unconditionally. He battled many struggles in his life, but we all have to remember that now he has no more sorrow, no more pain. He is very happy, always filled with joy! We all honor him for serving a year in Iraq, fighting for all of our lives so we could be free. Such a brave guy, with so much he had going for him. We all may hurt, and miss him terribly, but he will always live in our hearts FOREVER! <3
