Kyle Martinez

Kyle Joseph Martinez, 37, passed away on August 18, 2020.  Kyle was born on May 12, 1983 to Kenny and Vickie Martinez in Fort Worth, Texas.

Kyle grew up in Arlington, Texas and graduated from Cassata Catholic High School in Fort Worth in 2001.  Kyle worked in property management and lawn maintenance for several years and was passionate about volunteering at Mission Arlington.  He was baptized and confirmed at Trinity United Methodist Church, and his favorite scripture was Psalm 23.
