Martinez

On Tuesday, July 28, 2020, Eustoquio H. Martinez, passed away in Harlingen, Texas, at the age of 90. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather.

Eustoquio was born on March 14, 1930, in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, to Norberto and Julia Martinez. He grew up in Santa Maria, Texas, with his five brothers and three sisters.

Together they raised two sons, Tony and Mike, and one daughter, Rose Mary. A hardworking family man, he retired from Texas Citrus Exchange after 36 years of diligent service.

Eustoquio was a man of all trades with many talents. He was a kind, giving soul that helped anyone in need. Full of joy, he was a friendly, fun-loving person that never knew a stranger and will be forever remembered by many loved ones.
