Donald Conrad Martinez, 77, of Aztec, passed away on Thursday, April 21, 2016 in Aztec, New Mexico. He was born on October 1, 1938, to Eugenio and Siria Martinez in Edith, Colorado.
In his early years Don grew up in the community of Edith, enjoying the life of mountain living and as he became of age he joined the army where he proudly served his country here and abroad. He met his bride to be in Pagosa Springs, Colorado and they were soon married, while he worked as a log cutter for many years. They moved to Cedar Hill, New Mexico in 1978, where he pursued a career as a field tech for B.P. until his retirement in June 2004. Though he worked fervently at his job, his passion was always the great outdoors that he continually praised God for providing as he hunted, fished, camped and hiked. He shared this passion with his kids and grandkids as he always reminded them that through nature God gloriously displays his love and greatness. As he served his family, he also served his God, and leaves a strong legacy behind, so that whosoever will walk in his footsteps.
