Joseph Martinez Jr. Obituary

Joseph F. Martinez Jr., age 60, of Denver, Colorado, passed away on November 10, 2025. He was born on June 11, 1965, in Denver, Colorado, where he lived his entire life surrounded by family and friends who loved him deeply.

Joseph is survived by his devoted wife, Valerie Lynn Martinez, and his loving mother, Pauline Mary Martinez. He is also survived by his daughters Genevieve, Joanna, Joezette, and Robin, and his sons Toby, Angelo, Vince, Jason, Jeremy, Joseph, Gabriel, and Josiah. He leaves behind his brother Ron E.

He was preceded in death by his father Joseph F. Martinez Sr. and his son Jessie.

Joseph was full of life and laughter — a true jokester with a big heart. He was a proud Denver Broncos fan and a passionate sports enthusiast. He loved playing pool and spending time with his family, always bringing energy, humor, and warmth wherever he went. Family was everything to him, and his love for those around him will be remembered forever.

Joseph’s joyful spirit and larger-than-life personality will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
