My little brother had the biggest heart. Every time I hear a guitar, I think of him. Play on, Tony.
Read Antonio Jose Martinez's Obituary
Antonio Jose Martinez, known to everyone as Tony, was a beloved son, brother, and friend who left us far too young at 33.
Tony was a talented musician who could make a guitar sing. He played in local bands and taught music lessons to neighborhood kids for free. His dream was to open a community music school.
Though his time with us was short, Tony's impact was immeasurable. He lived fully, loved deeply, and left beautiful music wherever he went.

Tony taught me my first chord. He said music was a language everyone could speak. I'm in music school now because of him.
