Jesse Lawrence Martinez
March 28, 1972 - August 28, 2016

Jesse Lawrence Martinez, 44, passed away on Sunday, August 28, 2016 in Aztec. Jesse was born on March 28, 1972 to Joseph "Joe" Susano Martinez and Martha Archuleta Garcia in Durango, CO. Jesse grew up in Aztec, NM and went to work in the oil field when he was 18. His career took him all over the U.S.
Early on, Jesse developed a love for riding bikes. Throughout his teenage years, the neighborhood kids could be found riding bikes with Jesse on the half-pipe ramp that he and his stepfather, Steven Garcia built in the back yard. This grew into a love for motorcycles in his adult life. Everyone who knew Jesse knew he loved riding with his biker family. He would give anyone a ride that asked him and he would drive faster and faster until they were screaming in fear and while he'd laugh hysterically. Jesse was generous, always willing to help anyone in need. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone. He had that rare gift to be tough and demanding when the situation called for it and could make anyone feel like they were a part of the "family."Jesse worked hard and played hard but, it was clear that above all, Jesse loved his children, grandchildren, friends, and family. Jesse loved life, he lived it to the fullest and he will be missed by all that knew him.
Jesse is preceded in death by his father, Joseph "Joe" Susano Martinez. Jesse is survived by his sons Christopher Martinez and Damian Martinez; his daughter Kyla Martinez; his mother Martha Garcia and stepmother Evelyn Martinez; his brothers Bobby ( Diane) Martinez , Ivan Red, Jason (Heidi) Martinez, and Mike (Louis) Garcia; his sisters Patty (Rodney) Buck, Cheri Arellano, Marcella (Jason) Miller; his many grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
