Neisho Lynn Martinez

Neisho Martinez, age 45, passed away unexpectedly in Lovelock, Nevada in late November of 2023. Born Neisho Lynn Martinez, to parents Susan Taylor and Percy Martinez, in Craig, Colorado, on August 7th, 1978, Neisho always seemed ready for his next adventure. He was energetic, loving, and funny. Despite several moves, which took him to Wyoming and throughout Northern Nevada, he remained a devoted Coloradan. He loved music, spicy Mexican food, great dogs, basketball, lakes, drawing and time with friends and family, but most of all he cherished his daughter, Maryana, and he recently left Fernley, NV and returned to Lovelock, NV to be near to her. Being Maryana’s dad was the role in which he experienced immeasurable pride and fulfillment. Neisho will be remembered for his authentic grin, firm handshake, and big hugs. He had a playful sense of humor, an unassuming enthusiasm and a warm, easy laugh.

Neisho is survived by daughter Maryana Martinez (Tzhay) of Lovelock, NV and sister Andrea Martinez (Lara) of Reno, NV.  His daughter’s and sister’s sense of loss is profound; it is echoed by the grief of his extended family. His loved ones miss him immensely and will continue to cherish his memory.

He was preceded in death by sister Jill Diane Martinez, mother Susan Duffy, and father Percy Martinez. A memorial and celebration of life will be announced at a later date. Condolences may be sent to: The Family of Neisho Martinez; PO BOX 333, Lovelock, NV. 89419
