Lino Martinez

Our Father called Lino Martinez, age 95, home on Tuesday, September 26, 2023, in San Angelo, Texas, to rest within His Kingdom, a wondrous place to roam and join his wife Maria Garcia Martinez and his son Diego. Lino was born to Sostenes Lara Martinez and Dario Martinez on September 23, 1928, in La Purisima, Coahuila, Mexico.

His hat is now a halo, and his boots now touch the clouds, Lino worked as a ranch hand the majority of his life, he loved the open range, through heat and storm and blowing snow, you’d never hear him complain he was a quiet man, but true.

He will be forever remembered by his sons, Juan Martinez, Jose Martinez and his daughters, Ignacia Lara and Blanca Sanchez.  He will be fondly remembered by his sister, Asencion Garcia-Martinez.

                          God can give me this quiet corner.
                          With plenty of work still to do
                          Creatures to care for and pastures to tend. 

                          I’m made for hard work, it’s just who I am.
                          And in eternity, I’ll choose it all again.
                          God can give me some land of my own.
                         And I’ll ranch that range for Him.

Oh Dios, através de la muerte de tu Hijo en la cruz, tu has sobrepasado el sufrimiento de la muerte por nosotros.  Através de su entierro, Tú has hecho la tumba un lugar sagrado.
