Gilroy’s Fight Against Cancer

Martinez (10) & Isaiah Martinez (6). Rudy is survived by his loving parents Victoria Diaz and Rudy Martinez, Jr.; siblings Frankie, Robert, Devonna, and Angela Martinez, grandson of Alice and Rudy Martinez, Sr., many aunts, uncles, loving cousins and nieces. Rudy had a deep passion for art, music, and reptiles. But most of all Rudy's HEART belonged to his kids, family & friends. He will be missed, but NEVER forgotten! We LOVE you ALWAYS!
