      H.R. No. 899       R E S O L U T I O N          WHEREAS, The passing of Jeffery Martinez on March 2, 2025, at   the age of 59, brought an immeasurable loss to his family and   friends; and          WHEREAS, Born on January 30, 1966, "Julian" Martinez was the   son of Ruben Martinez, who preceded him in death, and Joann and   Larry Bennett; and          WHEREAS, Mr. Martinez was known for his quick wit and many   humorous catch phrases; when he first met his future wife, the   former Rose Salas, she responded to his teasing with a snappy   retort, and he was smitten; he invited her to dance, and their   romance led to a marriage that would span more than 32 years; and          WHEREAS, Blessed with a son, Hunter, Mr. Martinez doted on   him unreservedly and attended every play and school event he was   involved in; he taught him to meet challenges head on, and he   counseled him against the dubious undertakings of his own youth;   over the years, Mr. Martinez also provided stalwart support to his   wife in her many efforts in behalf of the community; and          WHEREAS, Loyal and deeply kind, Mr. Martinez was always ready   to lend a helping hand, and he served as a caregiver for both his   father-in-law and his mother-in-law at the end of their lives; in   his free time, he was an avid fisherman, although he almost always   released his catch; he delighted in relaxing with his loved ones at   the beach and hunting on his parents' ranch each dove and deer   season; and          WHEREAS, Julian Martinez enjoyed a life that was rich in the   intangibles that matter most, and although he is greatly missed by   those he left behind, they will continue to find inspiration in his   devotion to his family and his faith; now, therefore, be it          RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas   Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Jeffery "Julian"   Martinez and that sincere sympathy be extended to the members of his   family: to his wife, Rose Salas Martinez; to his son, Julian Hunter   Salas Martinez; to his in-laws, Antonio and Bea Reyes, Becky and   John Tobias, Joseph and Maria Reyes, and Adele and Jim Werderman;   and to his many other relatives and friends; and, be it further          RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be   prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of   Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Julian   Martinez.     Thompson     ______________________________   Speaker of the House                 I certify that H.R.
