On Tuesday, June 13, 2023, Manuel S. Martinez, a loving and caring Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother, Uncle, Cousin, and Friend, passed away at the age of 80. He resided in Rochester, New York. Born in Santiago, Chile to Manuel Martinez and Aida M. Carrasco. A tradesman and handyman. His knowledge, wisdom, strength, humor, and love will never be forgotten. He was always there for his family. A true gentleman and nurturer. He always attended his daughters and grandchildren’s school activities. The support and encouragement were endless. He was the go-to person to discuss any topic, give advice, or help. He loved to travel. He had quite the sense of humor, always happy, and loved dancing to rock ‘n’ roll and La Cueca with his spouse. He loved his Golden Retrievers Reina, Henry, and Finn. He enjoyed music, working on puzzles late into the night. He was a great cook and we all loved his Torta de Mil Hojas. He generously welcomed anyone to his home.
