Martin Ruiz-Gomez Obituary

Martin Rolando Ruiz-Gomez, 61, of Denver, Colorado, passed away on February 8, 2026.

Born in Mexico City, Mexico, Martin carried his heritage with pride throughout his life. He built a life rooted in hard work, devotion to family, and deep love for the people closest to him.

Martin was also a dedicated granite fabricator whose craftmanship and strong work ethic earned him the respect of colleagues and friends alike. He took pride in his work, shaping stone with care and precision - a reflection pf his steady and dependable nature.

Above all, Martin was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Christina, and a proud father to Alex, Rosita, Sonia and Esteban. His greatest joy was being "Grandpa" to Josette, Beorn, Laureal, and Asaph. Time spent with his family meant everything to him, whether gathered around the table, sharing stories, or simply enjoying each other's company.

Martin had a passion for futbol and often could be found cheering on his favorite teams with enthusiasm. He also loved listening to music, filling his home with songs that brought back memories and created new ones. His laughter, strength, and unwavering love will forever echo in the hearts of those who knew him.

He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all whose lives he touched.
