	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
