Alex Martinez Sarmiento was born in Denver, Colorado, and grew up in Colorado Springs. He was the beloved son of Maria Sarmiento and Alejandro Martinez, and the fourth oldest among six siblings. Known for his strength, kindness, and protective nature, Alex was admired for standing firmly by his beliefs and for his ability to grow into the man he aspired to be.

Alex cherished his time with his daughter, Alejandra Martinez, relishing their one-on-one adventures together. His radiant smile had the power to brighten any room. Recently, Alex was joyfully reunited with his family, including his siblings: Alfonso, Saray, Erlinda, and Omar, and his cherished nieces and nephews: Marina, Aristeo, Juju, Avi, Aleiah, Ana, Bella, and Santi. He considered his circle of close friends to be family from childhood.

He was a generous and equitable soul, always ready to help others and ensure everyone felt valued and included. Alex’s creativity and talent shone brightly, especially in his unique sense of style, where he would customize his own clothes before he could afford designer.

Alex’s spirit lives on, joining his little sister, Aidaly, in heaven, where they both watch over their family. We hold onto the hope of reuniting in a more peaceful place. We are grateful that Alex was part of our lives on earth. His legacy endures. Long live Alex Martinez Sarmiento.
