Personal note from Anthony's Grandmother, Barbara Schwend

Anthony Michael Martinez, 30, was taken from this world unexpectedly on July 16, 2023. He was doing what he loved most – riding his motorcycle, when he had a head on collision with a semi-truck. It was immediate and his family forever changed. His family has been dealing with the suddenness of the tragedy and the huge expense of a funeral, while still trying to keep their lives together. Both parents are still in shock and his dad (also a semi-driver) cannot bring himself to go back to work and be out there on the road. With their only son gone, trying to focus on life without him is almost unbearable.

Any assistance that can help the family with this sudden heartbreak, would be appreciated. God has called Anthony home---way too soon ---, and those left behind are struggling to move forward in their new world now forever changed.
